Alito Sent to Floor Vote
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Court
Today Judge Samuel Alito was sent to a full floor vote by the Judiciary Committee. The vote on Alito went as expected. All Democrats on the committee voted no and all the Republicans voted yes. The fact that Senator Spector, one of the only “pro-choice” Republicans on the senate felt comfortable voting for this nominee should be high praise for his qualifications.

I disagree with Senator Spector on his pro-abortion stance however there can be no doubt that he is a highly respectable man who votes his conscience. Currently it appears that Judge Alito will be confirmed by the Senate to be our next Supreme Court Associate Justice, however this fight is far from over. When this goes to the Senate floor we can expect a lot of rhetoric from the Democrats and liberal special interest groups.

We must continue to encourage our senators vote yes on Judge Alito. He is a well qualified judge who will bring balance to this liberal-leaning court.
