Justice Sam Alito confirmed!

Posted 31 Jan 2006 in illegal immigration, liberals, Republicans, SCOTUS

The vote: 58-42

So now it’s official. Senator Kennedy, along with the other Senate Democrats who made this process way more painful than necessary, and all you Kos-sacks… can just eat it.

Samuel Anthony Alito Jr., the son of an Italian immigrant and a longtime lawyer, prosecutor and judge, was confirmed as the 110th Supreme Court justice in one of the most partisan votes for a high court nominee in modern history.

Yessss.

John Hawkins at Right Wing News puts it pretty well:

If you’re conservative, this is a day worth celebrating for 3 reasons…

#1) Given that the Supreme Court has managed to slip it’s tentacles into almost every facet of American life, Supreme Court Justices are incredibly important. That’s why getting two conservative judges like John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who both respect the Constitution, onto the Supreme Court qualifies as the greatest accomplishment on the domestic front of the entire Bush presidency. Just think about the alternative: President Kerry appointing two liberals instead of Alito and Roberts.

#2) Conservatives really snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to get Alito on the court. Had we not fought Harriet Miers tooth and nail, Alito would have never gotten his shot. Ms. Miers may be a very nice woman and I think few conservatives hold anything against her, but she’s also not in the same league as Alito and everyone knows it. When you consider what might have been, then it becomes clear that conservatives are very lucky indeed to now have Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court.

#3) Finally, after all this time, we’ve exorcised the demons of the Bork hearings because another clearly qualified, textualist nominee, with a long record on the bench has made it through the confirmation process. That means that stealth nominees whose greatest asset is that they have no records on the bench are no longer needed or desired as Republican Supreme Court nominees.

So folks, enjoy today because we have won an enormous victory that will be good for the Republican Party and for the country.

UPDATE: You knew the Left were gonna lose their minds (as if they hadn’t already). They’re turning on each other. Here’s the best Liberal comment I’ve seen yet today, courtesy of the unhinged Kos-sacks:

You Did NOT Lose the Fight

they did NOT Fucking fight.

Losing a fight is honorable, refusing to fight is cowardice.

There is institutionalised cowardice at the top of the party and it is now wholly and evidently enabling and supporting a fascist stae.

THIS is how it happened in Nazi Germany, Its over.

The Number of the Beast 72-25

Yeah, it’s over. The Left’s monopoly of the SCOTUS is over.

Waaaaaaah.
