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?

John Ensign in post #448. It's got to be that, no?

By the way, someone earlier posted a snippet from some gay web site that threatened to "out" a Republican senator if he voted for Alito.

I chanced to read the comments and by the process of elimination (in senate ten years, married)...the commenters were certain it would be John Ensign outed. Could this be?

More time for Harry? What can he possibly say that he hasn't previously said 40 times in the last week?

Well, I thought about them replacing him with Obama and quickly decided I like Reid more. :-)

Why are the democRATs allowed to continue to spewing their bile after cloture?

Shhh. They are making RNC commercials.

"urge them to ABSTAIN from the cloture vote by visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital at 4:30 p.m."

Nice coordinated effort. Harkin let it be known that he was going to abstain.

how many times Harry is using the word "distrubing"?

That's Searchlight's version of Daschle's "Deeply Saddened".

Because "bile" is all they have left. No ideas, no reasoned arguments - just unfocused anger at their continuing failures.

Well he could mention strip-searching that ten year old for the five millionth time.

No wait. He already did.
