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 take that back; I want him to STAY as minority leader. I like it because he's the face of the DNC.

And finally, Papa Smurf without the beard steps up and asks us how we got here. The Dems must have loved listening to Tommy D. because his replacement has that same annoying voice and attitude.

Now I have that book "Green Eggs and Ham" stuck in my head

I do not like Green Eggs and Ham,
I do not like them, Sam I am.

I do not like them here or there,
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like them in a boat,
I would not, could not, with a goat.

I will not eat them in the rain,
I do not like them on a train.
I do not like them in a box,
I will not eat them with a fox.

I do not like them in a house,
I would not, could not, with a mouse.
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham,
I do not like them, Sam I am.


Sam I am.

Someone shoulda told that to FDR.

FDR's first SCOTUS appointment was a VERY liberal Senator who turned out to be a KKK member.

Oddly enough, Justice Black's dissent in Griswold v. Connecticut is one of the all-time great dissents. It predicted the politicization of the Court to a T.

No, post 448 used https for the URL of an image and your browser is trying to negotiate a secure session. I will report abuse to get the mods to delete the pic so John Ensign doesn't get complaints and maggief, please repost that pic without using https.

Actually, "November, Inc." wants to give a certificate to "JohnEnsign.org" every time you view the previous 50 posts, I assume someone did a source cut-and-paste and got something bad in the thread....

I've often wondered about that:)

We knew they couldn't resist bringing up Harriet.

Reid: Harriet Miers was torpedoed, got a raw deal, yada yada. The right wing's elation when Alito replaced her, raised suspicions...

Thank you so much for posting this speech. It is amazing and summarizes the current state of political affairs in a clear and concise way.
I am in a sales conference all week and am so thankful for my PDA and you FReepers.
So many of you have done a great job keeping me informed that I thank you all immensely.
