Alito Filbuster Fails

Via Fox News (no link yet) "It's over."

Pour over-excited Teddy an extra couple of bottles, because the sure-to-fail filibuster of Judge Alito just did precisely that. It failed.

Barring a miracle, he will be Justice Alito by this time tomorrow evening.

You sound excited about this. What the heck is wrong with you CY!?!? My understanding is that if Alito is confirmed is that there will be back alley abortions and the apocalypse will come, followed by global warming and starving poor people! Well, something like that - Sen. Kennedy was hard to understand when he 'splained it to me.

Also, if he's confirmed, I heard he will ban all ice cream.

While I do value privacy of citizens, and we're still not clear what powers Alito will say the President should be given in regards to the NSA, I still think all these court procedings have shown just how disgraceful Washington, especially the liberal Democrats, has become.

As much of a liberal moonbat as Ginsburg is, he was confirmed with something like a 98% or maybe even 100% majority. But yet, Alito might be confirmed with 60%, maybe that high.

58 votes. Alito is in! Someone send Justice Stephens some advertisements extolling the joy of retirement!
