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'm sure they did, I got in late this morning. :-)
(If not, I'm sure the Dems believe that he caused her 'sudden'
death because of the Senate's actions yesterday)

Frist: "...there is little more to be said...."


But he, being a Senator, can find a few more words anyway.

Yes, The Dems complain that Alito supports government over hte poeple. Except when they complain that he won't give congress deference in laws. Except when they say he will throw abortion back to the legislature. Except when they think he won't let the legislature enact waterway legislation.

Harry suddenly has renewed interest in strip-search rules as the Abramoff scandal shines the light on his letter writing and fund raising propensities. Someone send him some soap-on-a-rope.

I heard someone recently describe the U. S. Senate as "the world's greatest deliberative body." That doesn't say much for the state of the world.

Do you believe this old buzzard! Bush nominated a Latino to a court, they didn't want him! He needs to nominate Janice Rogers Brown next and throw Reids words back at him when he starts whining!

For the record.....

On Rush yesterday we learned the Rats had about 8.5 mil. they now have 5.5 mil. Dean spent 3.5 mil. He apparently did not spend it all.
