Senate confirms Alito to the Supreme Court

Well. It'll be an interesting 20 or so years. That's about the only pleasant thing I can think to say.

Thanks for posting that Nicole, even though it's safe to say that I'm sure I don't need to thank Brownback or Roberts.

I'm disgusted with this country.

I think I'm going to send a thank you to Senator Chafee of R.I. for having the only set of balls in the Republican Party. I am beyond disappointed re: John McCain.

McCain is planning another presidential run in 2008. He couldn't afford to piss of the religious fanatics that helped get Bush into office. He's going to need them. That's why he voted for Scalito (and his lack of balls when it counts is the reason I will be voting against McCain him in the election).

You'd think someone who could survive harsh life and torture in enemy custody actually had a backbone. I guess you'd be wrong.
