Cloture Vote

Looks like the Senate has voted (75-25) to end debate on the Alito nomination. Oddly enough, Patty Murray voted no and Maria Cantwell voted yes. If I were still a resident of the state of Washington, I'd be working this fall to hand Ms. Cantwell her walking papers. Luckily for me, both of my new Senators voted correctly.

I'd probably vote to end discussion because, really, what's the point? He could pull the flesh from a baby out of his coat pocket and start gnawing on it right there in the hearings and still get enough votes to pass.

Not that he eats babies.

Though that might liven up the hearings a bit.
