Alito's In

Confirm Them reports:
It appears that the Switzibuster has failed. There is no joy in Davos, for Mighty Kennedy has struck out. Tomorrow morning Judge Samuel Alito will be confirmed as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
CNN reports that 14 Dems broke ranks and voted for cloture -- that's just shy of one-third of the Senate's Dems. A sign of weakness in the Kennedy/Reid block, for sure.

Looked at another way, two-thirds of Dems are willing to play petty games -- denying Alito a seat before the State of the Union -- and that's just plain pathetic. This is supposed to be a significant national party?
