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 saw him say no; he's a fool. I'll give money to his opponent.

In my opinion it's not a good tactic to piss off someone who will rule the county along with 4 other people for the rest of their life.

The dems are in deeper do do than they know.

Singing "There's been a change in the weather...." Their flogging whip has become a wet noodle. The fire in Ted's belly has become a bleeding ulcer. Kerry has become an untouchable. Hillary has become a liability. Reid is fast becoming toast. Schumer is reduced to threatening a dire future. Look for their world to end at 12 noon today. And now, on w/the shoooooooooow!

If ALL 100 senators are in the chamber, why does it take them more than an hour to vote?

It takes 59 minutes to collect the lobbyist payoffs and <1 minute to say 'Yeh' or 'Nah'.

"C'mon guys!"

Watch the floor and see who is talking to whom.

Last year I watched McCain vote and then walk out of the room with her heinous.

Yesterday, after Osama voted NO he walked over to have a conversation with Harry Reid.

Ha ha, Kennedy lecturing about ponds and lakes is delicious. Kind of like Osama calling Bush a terrorist.

funny thing; the libs say Alito is heavy hand of the law in his rulings and ruled to have a 10 yr old strip searched but didnt alito say he ruled for the local authorities to make the decision in that case since they knew more about it?

It takes 55 minutes for 99 votes and five minutes for Sen. Kennedy to read the statement from PFAW telling him how to vote.

And he looks like a little elf.

I love Sessions. He always reminds me though of character actor Leslie Jordon ( I had to look up his name, he was on Boston Leal recently).
