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?

No problem. When I went searching for DeMint's speech yesterday, I found DeWine's name and should have figured that who you were thinking of.

Because post #448 used an https address for the image that was linked. Very bad form (but nice pic).

Geesh..Specter. He couldn't resist getting his pro-choice digs in. Still- he handled the hearings better than I ever thought he would. Right now though, he's putting me to sleep:)
