[KSLeftyMom]

1. liberman? just a guess

[endarkenment]

2. Weaselman voted yes/no

[WildEyedLiberal]

3. No I don't think so

Byrd, Ben Nelson, and Conrad declared that they were voting aye on Alito... Dorgan may have been the fourth.

5. Johnson, not Dorgan

Statement from Senator Tim Johnson (DINO,SD)

Washington, DC—U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) released the following statement about the Senate confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court:

"Alito's approval by the U.S. Senate today allows this chamber to move past this divisive period and on to other issues, such as balancing the budget, providing health care and quality education, enhancing job creation, and firming up our national defense.

"This was a solemn occasion. It is essential to our democracy that the Supreme Court continues to remain independent and protect the system of checks and balances. I wish Judge Alito and his family well as they enter this new phase."

What's next? Public ass-kissing?

:puke:

[phantom power]

10. Except for one minor detail...

Alito's already on record that he himself doesn't believe in checks and balances.

12. oooo we almost had a divisive period

Does that require extra super duty tampons or what?

Oh no we almost suffered an Opposition Party. Whew! That was really close!.

[fooj]

6. Johnson was the fourth traitor.

Peace.

[Mass]

4. Here is the list.

Byrd
Conrad
Johnson
Nelson (NE)

and 19 voted for cloture.

[1620rock]

7. Indeed, Liberman voted NO. n/t

[Karmageddon]

14. Byrd, Conrad and Nelson are running in 2006.

Anyone know who (if anyone) is running against them in the primaries?

I've got a nice healthy check for them when I find out who they are. I'm all for making this VERY painful for the 19 turncoats. Time we let them know what happens when they turn their back on their constituency, their principles, and their nation.

Even if we can't get them off the ticket, we can make the primaries difficult and expensive for them, so maybe they'll think twice before ditching the folks who brung 'em to the dance.

8. That is unacceptable

Any democrats who voted FOR alito is a pathetic dino.

[fairandunbalanced]

9. byrd of course

I cant say it enough out of shear and utter hate for him! You join the KKK you should never ever be allowed to hold a public office in the USA and especially in the democratic party!

And dont worry I feel the same way about the NAZI's

[GrumpyGreg]

11. I criticised Byrd for his KKK connections here on DU about

a week ago and was criticised because it was so long ago that he was a member.
