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?

So are the new deputies that recently appointed. Poor Dems. Their heads are going to explo-...Wait. What am I thinking like the dems understand fiscal and economic policy!!!

-42 oppose....large enough to filibuster. Not a great statement on Alito. No wonder they're DUmmies; the Alito filibuster was shot down 72-25 only yesterday.
