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?

It's the gutless wonders who DID not vote.... Clinton, Kerry, Bill Nelson, Byrd, etc. on the first round. Convenient.

They'll vote with the GOP just as long as it's not controversial. The Dems failed to make folks other than their loony base scared of Alito.
