Alito Confirmed as Nation's 110th Supreme Court Justice
The Senate voted 58-42 on Tuesday to confirm Samuel Alito to the nation's highest court, putting to bed the most partisan Supreme Court nomination battle in recent memory.
Only four Democrats joined 54 Republicans in support of Alito. Of the court's present justices, only Clarence Thomas received a slimmer margin of victory, 52-48, but even then received the votes of 11 Democrats who broke party ranks.
It will be amusing to watch the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the left, especially when it all comes to naught. Don't worry though, we here on the BP will be sure to remind you of all the hyperbole and hate on a regular basis.
