Frist: Swear Scalito in quickly so he can sit in the front row @ S.O.T.U.

“Today, a bipartisan majority of senators embraced the principle of a fair, up-or-down vote for judicial nominees and rejected partisan obstruction. This vote marks another step forward in restoring fairness to the judicial nominations process," Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said in a written statement after the vote.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told FOX News that he thinks Alito should be sworn in quickly so he can appear in justice robes in the front row in the House chamber during the president's State of the Union address.

"Absolutely, he should be front and center," Frist said while leaving the Senate floor.

Bush too said he was pleased with Monday's outcome. "The Senate has a constitutional responsibility to hold an up-or-down vote on every judicial nominee, and throughout its 216-year history, the Senate has held an up-or-down vote on every Supreme Court nominee with majority Senate support," Bush said. "Judge Alito is extraordinarily well-qualified to serve on our nation's highest court, and America is fortunate that this good and humble man is willing to serve. I look forward to the Senate voting to confirm Sam Alito as the 110th Justice of the Supreme Court."

1. How f*ing stupid do they think we really are?
"The Senate has a constitutional responsibility to hold an up-or-down vote on every judicial nominee..."

Tell that to Harriet, you asshat.
