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?

Yeah, and after they vote, we won't have to hear her name much anymore. Thank God.

I wish Sandra Day O'Connor and her ill husband all the best.
If the Democrats had any class they would have confirmed Alito six weeks ago and allowed her to be with her husband six more weeks. But Democrats and class, two mutually exclusive concepts.

Consistency is not recognized in the Dem party. that is why they have no defence against the modern world of communications. They just live "for the moment" and say whatever "works" for the moment.

That is why they are toast.

They are all waiting until the magic number of 51 is reached, so that the record will show that they voted for him when they vote "AYE"???

Concur.
