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?

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

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!!!

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

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.
