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?

Man, just count the lies in Durbins speech!!
I think I found 3 outright lies, and 2-3 mischaracterizations, and 1 make-up personal anecdote.

Those that voted NAY compose the LIBERAL Wing of the Democrat Party. This group is precisely the reason why nothing can get done in the Congress. It would be nice to see a few of these people get voted out the next time that they are up for election.

Another poster responded that (paraphrasing here) "she's too young to realize what's in store: no more birth control, no more abortion..."

They don't know the half of it. Justice Alito will rule that all women of childbearing age will have to be impregnated by Republicans and give their children up at birth to go live with Bible-touting Bush voters in Red states!

Those people as so foul-mouthed. It's sickening...and I think FreeRepublic should not be demeaned/tainted in any way with the posting of foul language -- "F" words in particular.

And now a word from our REAL Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.



You will stay right where you are on the thread.
Please take a moment and Thank a Service Man or Woman.
Just Click on the graphic to send an e-mail.

That's what I'm wondering. I think they're going to keep asking for additional time. I wonder what will happen if they do. Will Frist get mad? Will the Republicans unite?

Pass the popcorn...

That was so melodramatic I choked on my coffee! Durbin is clearly trying to kill me. :)
