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?

This must be some kind of Fund Aid for the Democrats, now that they're BROKE. When is Willie scheduled to sing?

You're right to sweat. I do too. I NEVER take the dems for granted and I never underestimate how dirty and corrupt they've become. I will celebrate after the vote is taken.

The more I listen the more certain I am that Judge Alito is the right man for the job.

And the more amazed I am that we have been able to survive the Democratic leadership. Consummate a**holes all. I wouldn't trust any one of them as far as I could throw them (think Orca). Who (with an IQ above 12) would vote for any one of them?

Wasn't Reid the head of the Nevada Gaming Commission?

He's not a very good gambler.

That's the thing.... it's not like anybody is going to change their vote because of anything that he has to say.

You are correct. The rats have been obsessed with strip searching little girls for the past 3 weeks. Perverts.

OK, I am here from my remote, undisclosed location. Are they still talking? Any surprises? (I have no TV since Dora the Explorer is on.) What's happening? Thanks for any input.

What the heck? Chafee is voting no? WHY????

He said yesterday that he was voting no. He's proud of being a pro-choice Republican, and believes that Alito would threaten that. Democrats (and those Dims called Republicans) sure have a fetish about killing babies and the strip search of 10 year old girls, don't they?

So, if the vote doesn't happen at 11:00 on the nose, are the dems going to claim another victory?

Can't they shut him up?
