He did actually, and he voted yes.

[southernerwithanattitude]

Time for my good ol southern happy dance!

[Severa]

We're at 57-35 right now...Fox News is being a pain and not letting us hear the end of the vote *grumble*

[dfwgator]

Move Alito. For Great Justice.

[ssaftler]

It could be worse. You could live in Pelosi's district! (I'm stuck with Tauscher in the East Bay, but she's "Mostly Harmless")

[PilloryHillary]

Byrd was supposed to vote YES, and he hasn't voted. No response. Has he changed his mind? Died?

[goodnesswins]

Local conservative radio guy was talking to SOMEONE this A.M. (I just woke up)....and the guy said Justice Stevens has said he was "appointed under a Republican President" and he'll "retire under a Republican President." Sounds to me like Pres. Bush will get another one to appoint!!!

NY Senators are the senatorsfromhell............they are liberal to their core.

"LOL! Looks like I was right. They all waited until the end for one long row of 'NOs'. Childish!"

Excellent powers of observation, Holmes. You know them well.

[mtbopfuyn]

Actually, there's more than a few RATS who have been body snatched by aliens. That's the only logical reason they're so batty.
