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?
Guam
...Oh yeah, and those dope-smoking Birkenstock-clad idiots who will be banging pots and pans out on the mall tonight during President Bush's speech.
Here they only get 1 vote per person.The Democrats hate when that happens!
Vote closed! Wooohooooo
Yeehaw!!! Congrats to Justice Alito...
So do we all :)
People on Fox said that he would be sworn in and sitting with the Justices at tonight's State of the Union address!
It is showing 58 to 42 now.
Rats slitting their collective wrists over at DU!!!

LOL! Too funny!
Its a great day in America!! WHOOHOO!!!!
Tears of joy! WOOHOO!!
Sounds like he will be sworn in and officially a Supreme Court Justice yet this afternoon.
He'll be a full Justice tonight, and afforded all the glory.
Happy, happy day!
Officially announced. 58-42. Senate moves on the nomination of Bernacke to Federal Reserve Chair.
LOL - Quorum call. Just gives time to seetle the chamber down. THey're all there. Pretty funny to suggest "absence of a quorum."
agree 100% everything else Bush has done bad was worth this !
Anyone know when the swearing in ceremony will be, who swears Justice Alito in, etc.?
Fox is saying he is going to be sworn in at the Supreme Court shortly.
Great...now he will attend the SOTU address tonight.....hehehe
