Although the democrats lost the cloture vote, all the media will say about the vote today is how Alito's votes don't compare with Ginsburg's.

They'll make her look like the mainstream justice.

Just wait and see.

It's always the CJ, I believe..Stevens swore in Roberts because he was the most senior..

" ... Up until the last 15 minutes yesterday, 95% of us on the thread were all sweating it, convinced that the Dems were somehow going to pull it off ..."


Sorta ... kinda like the "Hillary can win the presidency" crowd.

Can there really be 95% here that sweat about this? And if so, are they using ouija boards, tea leaves, or reading the New York Times?

What a beautiful day today is!

Can you post a re-cap of the cloture vote (yeas and nays) on this thread, just for good measure?

Alito will get all 54 republicans* and the 4 dems who have come out in support.

59-41.

Who cares what "the media" says. Ginsberg's vote counts no more than Alito's.

The "mainstream Justice" is the one that's part of the majority of the Court.

"10:50 - 11:00 - Frist"


I loved the way Frist ended the debate yesterday before the cloture vote.

He quoted Ted Kennedy as saying something like "we need to vote. Everyone deserves a vote".

Frist was grinning from ear to ear. He was so proud of himself.

Alito, and Roberts, should wear the negative votes they got as badges of honor..
