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?

Ticks me off that the "big name" Dem voters abstain from voting during the final roll call, and then come strolling along 20 minutes later to give their meaningless no. Give me a break - as if anything else is more important than this vote this morning.
Well, there it is - He's confirmed!!!

I would think so since he will be seated with the Justices of the SCOTUS tonight.
