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?

Kennedy looks like he's aged ten years since yesterday.

I almost want to buy him a drink.

It's just saying waiting for democratic underground in the bottom bar where the page is shown loading. I'm on Bellsouth Fast-Access 1.5 Mbps and aren't getting a connection.

Ok its been at least 10 minutes since Alito was confirmed...I have a question.

Can we start oppressing women and minorities yet?

Just kidding

I've always said that show one 13-year old impregnated by her own father and unable to obtain an abortion and the sound bytes will flash, the soccer moms will wail and the libs will finally have an argument.

Not that the practice hasn't become an abomination what with it being a federal entitlement bestowed by nine unelected justices and no state oversight.

Unfortunately, it'll take another good judge to dump Kelo. Anthony Kennedy was the sellout on that one.

But we can now (hopefully) dump the free speech restrictions of McCain-Feingold, uphold bans on partial birth abortion, uphold parental consent & notification, roll back some racial quotas, and lift the ban on crosses on city seals and things like that. We're also a little less likely to have gay "marriage" forced on us by the courts.

Thank goodness! One thing was apparent - there are very few Senators - either Republican or Democrat, that are good public speakers. It was painful to listen to the debate at times.

CSPAN saying Alito and Bush watched in Roosevelt room.

And that, Franklin, is how you pack a court.

Yes, we need to follow our Constitution. That's why I really like Mr. Alito, soon to be JUSTICE ALITO!
