Breaking News:US Senate Senate Republicans Confirm Alito
The US Senate has, rather begrudgingly, named Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr. the 110th US Supreme Court justice. The conservative former federal judge will replace the moderate and graceful Sandra Day O'Connor. Good look, great justice. We just hope Alito takes to wearing doilies when out on the town.
The vote indicates that DC is more divided along partisan lines than ever before. With very important congressional elections looming in the coming years, the two major parties are tightening their ranks, as evidenced by the voting, in which all but one Republican voted for Alito's confirmation, while all but four Democrats voted against it. It is the most partisan vote on the confirmation of a justice in history, and never have so few members of the president's opposing party voted for the confirmation of a presidential nomination. Read: Go have sex with yourself, W., you douche bag idiot. We imagine this means you should only expect about half of the chamber to be clapping like buffoons every 15 seconds when the president gives his myopic pep-rally speech quasi-literate appraisal of the nation's condition this evening.
Of course, that jargoff Pat Robertson is still upset because Alito isn't conservative enough.
Care.
