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?

Surely the media will be there but they are not saying when....maybe for security purposes. :o) All I have found is that he will be sworn in "hours before the SOTU".

My gosh! The thread moved along so quickly that I missed your wonderful Hillary Limerick

The Witch of New York wearing Crusty
Her pantsuit so old it smells musty
Photogenic she's not
Potus prospects are shot
Her game is just lame and so rusty!

I am not real excited about having a Catholic majority in our Protestant principled nation. 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.

Get back under your rock

I agree. Howard Dean's days are numbered. I saw the report about big Dems being mad that their cash is low.

It only takes time till the worm turns in Hillary's mind...and Poof! He'll be gone!

I am planning on the left training their guns on Cantwell here in Washington State

The left believes in Gun Control Grabbing. They are not the ones with guns, other than their criminal constituency...er.. never mind

Senator LIEberman is reverting to type. A left leaning lib who is more concerned about re-election than the good of the country.

Nothing new here at all.

Despite Sean Hannity's love affair with the man.

Great quote!!!!!!!!!!

How clear!

They are so lost in the relativistic mindsets, there is no such thing as what is true, what is false. What is good, what is evil.

Sad state of affairs in the socialist liberal party!

It's so sad and pathetic to see a man in the twilight of his life, go out in such a nasty, bitter, disgruntled, mean, cynical, spiteful manner. Truly pathetic indeed!

I'm wondering if there is enough splintering of the dimocraps to cause the real socialists to migrate to the Green party?

Ken, I lurked on these Alito threads (while watching the live netfeed on C-Span2), and I want to say a huge thanks for your efforts. And I just loved your opening commentaries.

Sincerely,
A New Ken5050 Fan :o)

He signed off on his political suicide pact with his nay vote today.
