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?

The remaining dems on the USSC will remain there till their dying breath if a republican is in office.

Well the actuarial tables aren't in their favor...

Flame me, But I think for a woman her age she is beautiful (and natural).

I hope I can look as good as her and have her spunk when I am 103 ( she is 103 isn't she?)

[Howlin]

Alito and his wife watched the vote with the president.

The U.S. Supreme Court: SAM'S CLUB!!!

(since they were all talking about clubs...)

Fox just reported that Planned Parenthood calls Alito's confirmation a "Crushing Blow to Women's Reproductive Rights"!

Run, PP, run. Your willy-nilly baby-murdering days are coming to a close soon.

Wish I had a limerick about her.

Dear Hitlery, sans a mustache,
Is always out begging for cash,
She says in a snit,
That it's all quite legit,
That really she needs such a stash.

It must be strange to watch Senators say such vile things about you. I don't know how they did it.

[STARWISE]

They're saying this afternoon is the expectation. I imagine it'll be after W has his apparently "traditional" (as FNC put it) off-the-record chat with the muckity mucks of journalism: Timmie, Brit, Chris Wallace et al. They're having this casual lunch right now, apparently, where W listens to their thoughts about the issues and shares a bit of what he'll be saying tonight.

Wouldn't you love to be have a listening device on Barney for that gathering? Wonder if Timmie will keep all the secrets ;).

[OldFriend]

Thanks, I turned off the TV the moment the vote was confirmed.

You know, cowboys in the old west that just shot from the hip in every case, rarely lived very long.

Chafee is a hip shooter. He has no core beliefs or strategy as to why he is a US Senator.

That is why this happened, IMHO.

[Graymatter]

>>special thanks to John Kerry

Yes indeed! The nays were 42 today, but the nays yesterday on cloture were only 25---a difference that attests to Kerry's personal charm and leadership abilities! :)

[Kozak]

Her age ain't the problem. Her soul is reflected in her looks. Thats the problem.

[Bush gal in LA]

Just got here. Congratulations to Justice Alito! As for you Rats, In the words of Orin Hatch ,this morning....YOUR despicable!

[conservatrice]

Here's something I can agree with this poster on:
4. As for leaving the party, it is hard to argue that these congressional Democrats are anything other than a pack of boobs who couldn't find their asses with a flashlight and a map.
Must be a Freeper troll /s

"And in other news, Angle reported that Ted Kennedy has a paunch."

I guess that gym workout isn't working...

I think we have an answer on that gym thing.

[Redbob]

Woooo Hooooo!

[joyspring777]

Call them what they are...

socialist liberals...democrats gives them too much cover.

[Carolinamom]

Senator LIEberman's NO vote was not surprising to me...or you, was it?

[conservativebabe]

Boy, would I ever. I would LOVE to have a sit-down with W myself. Yeah, that'll happen. LOL!
