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?

I just love Jeff Sessions--he's so positive and just seems like a kind man, like so many of our Republican senators.
Chuck,Harry,Teddy, and Johnny, on the other hand, seem like they would aim their car at a stray dog in the street, but that's just my opinion.

Typical. Agreements mean zilch to the liberals.
Rules mean zilch to the liberals.
Laws mean zilch to them.

Must be Cheney. Sessions said, "I see my president has come in."

Any guesses on the length of applause when GWB introduces our new Supreme Court Justice this evening? MY fantasy just changed. Wouldn't it be cool if Dubya started the SOTU : "My fellow Americans, before I begin my address tonight I have some very important business I must attend to. Judge Alito would you step forward please......"

Sessions: "who does it divide? it divides the hard left"
"they arnet happy with the u.s. consititution and they want some foreign judge to make our laws" (I may have that off a little)
"we want judges who are faithful and principled to the rule of law"
"american bar assoc reported to our committee after surveying 2000/personally interviewing 300...voted among themselves...came back with unanimous conclusion that alito was entitled to highest possible rating. Would they have done that if they thought he was an extremist?"
To: Carolinamom
Yep. I have a feeling their *plan* has suddenly been updated to include *Alito* floggings. If they ever get enough power to make good their threats, that is.
First, you gots to get the flogging whip back, boys!
To: BigSkyFreeper
Landrieu is waiting until the very end..
