The Scoop: 42 thank you's
Today Yesterday, the Senate confirmed Samuel Alito to be the 110th justice of the United States Supreme Court.

First and foremost, we must thank those senators who took a principled stand to protect the rights and freedoms of all Americans, rather than the interests of a powerful few.

The vote today yesterday, at 58-42, shows just how divisive Samuel Alito's nomination was. Democrats, along with a Republican and an Independent, came together on the Senate floor to reject Judge Alito's nomination and the agenda of a radical conservative movement that was clearly expressed in his writings and statements and embodied in his judicial record.

We will continue to fight to preserve justice for all Americans and to expand, rather than restrict, our freedoms. We hope that you will continue to fight the good fight along with us.

    "First and foremost, we must thank those senators who took a principled stand to protect the rights and freedoms of all Americans, rather than the interests of a powerful few"

    I'm sorry, but my friends on the left and the right feel the Senators on the committee and as a whole did not come off as "principled" or as primarily concerned with the citizens as a whole.

    It seems that small groups of far right and far left influence groups took the Senate and the confirmation process hostage.

    All sides added to the divisiveness. Regard for the Senate scores pretty low. It seems only Justice Alito came off well in the minds of the voters.
