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?

Rancor? That is exactly what I expect on the Senate floor.

Americans do not send in senators to be part of a good ole boys club. We send them to fight for our views. And that WILL cause rancor with democrats.

"Praise God. Alito is IN."

I can't help but think how many new members the green Party will get this week!

Let me just say a special thanks to John Kerry and the swimmer.

I can't believe FOX News.

Just when Sen. Hatch started calling the RATS "despicable" for the way the treated Sam Alito, they break away to talk to RAT Sen. Reed. They let RINO Arlen Sphincter ramble on for five minutes with nothing but "friends across the aisle" banter, then Sen. Hatch steps up and starts laying into the RATs for their "despicable treatment of Sam Alito" and he gets 2-3 seconds then they abruptly break away to talk to RAT Reed.

FOX News is starting to act like CNN.

I'd love to see Harriet Miers sitting with Laura tonight.

The Dems are Mr. Crankypants, today.

Dems define the word "Immature."

Go for it!

Language they speak!

That was ridiculous. I was interested in what Hatch was saying. Tools

Do the words "We don't have the votes" not compute with those people?

Of course not, what's wrong with you? If you don't have enough votes, you just manufacture some.

Find Senator Wellstone to cast a vote, or just get some moonbats to vote twice! It's done all the time when the outcome isn't what they like, why not now?

Thank GOD for this confirmation, and Congratulations to Justice Alito and his family!

In the meantime, it's a DISGRACE that 41 Democrats voted against this fine man. Shame on each one of them.

Were you even paying attention to what I said...duh

I am AGAINST abortion and for adoption. Keeping the baby and marrying the father. Just because I said other alternatives didn't meant DEATH to baby.

I was talking about attitude of the poster. The attitude of the poster was punishing and mean not helpful. Coat hangers...? NOT FUNNY!!!

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

Considering how out of shape he is, one day he is going to go into one of those tirades and have a stroke. His blood pressure had to hit 220 plus how puffed up and red he was.

That would be very nice. I'd kind of like to see her slap Kennedy as well, but hey...it ain't gonna happen.

Neither do I. Our fellow FReepers have become quite adept at the excerpt, and if the Slimes is anything, it's predictably lieberal.

You'll have to locate him first. Perhaps he is in the family SUV. Or jetting back to Davos.

"FOX News is starting to act like CNN."

Little by little, FOX is being infiltrated by the vomit from CNN. Give it a few more years and we'll be witnessing the birth of CNN's twin...:(
