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?

you are right
howie baby is so gone

There is not a soul on their side who could live up to the standards they've set. Not one.

[daybreakcoming]

Did I just hear that ASSOCIATE JUSTICE ALITO entered the court by a side door?

[exnavy]

This is good news.

[STARWISE]

Oh .. that's precious! God love ya, Registered! You capture the perfect zeitgeist every time.

[kimmie7]

my eyes bugged out a big at that one, too! glad it was a typo.

[Bahbah]

your attitude is repulsive and cruel.

That was sarcasm, not a serious comment.

[Kaslin]

Please forgive me but I can't resist

[Lady Heron]

Miss the sarcasm??? Sometimes I really wonder.

[kimmie7]

I' m proud of you too! I'm adopted and got to meet the lady who talked my birth mother out of having an abortion. What a treat that was!

[Halls]

So will wee see Alito sworn in or is media not allowed in???

[southernerwithanattitude]

Dang, he looks like ol splash just got run over by the school bus. lmao

[shield]

Thank You. ;o)

[Tarkin]

That's easy. Sheets simply believed his pals from the party that Alito is going to lynch blacks, brutalize women, and reinstate racial segregation. He simply couldn't vote no...

[El Gato]

That's a bit like a real club/bar up near Sherman Texas. It's called the "Library".

[Jeff Head]

Should one of the victims be given the death penalty for another's crime?

IMHO, the developing fetus is also vctim along with the individual who was raped or molested.

Adopt the child out at birth. There are tens of thousands of couples who would give such a child a loving home where the memory and the impact of the acts that created them would be expunged and replaced by love. Just my opinion...nothing more

How much influences does the Vatican now have in our country? May seen paraniod, but take a look at the EU founders. Their roots all lie in Rome.

**rolls eyes**

That's beyond paranoid, it's outright absurd.

The EU founders "roots" lie in Rome like Benny Hinns and Kenneth Copeland's "roots" lie in Protestantism.
