Good morning, all.

Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."

It's all over except the final vote tally.

Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?

Probably the same place as Hitlery, who just crawled out from under her rock to toe the NY Slimes line. 58-40 ayes with 2 Senators unaccounted for.

Prima Donna Clinton voted (finally).. surprise , surprise her NO

[Thom Pain]

"Sheets voted yes? I think I just saw a pig fly.... He's beginning to look like an old school democrat... scary that he's looking *slightly* centrist."

Gives us a clear picture of just how far left-moonbat the rest of them really are.

Gratitude as far as the eye can see.

Very poetic way to express all our feelings on this.

[Freee-dame]

They all waited until the end for one long row of 'NOs'.

It works when they can call fraudulent votes out of rat strongholds. Here they only get 1 vote per person. A great day for America.

Unborn babies have just been given much better odds.

What phonies. OUTing someone else is sick.

[kimmie7]

[syriacus]

Clinton officially "No."
Wish I had a limerick about her.
