Alito confirmed

Having absolutely no honest basis beyond ideology, 41 Democrats voted against Judge Alito's confirmation. The up or down vote, until recently, has been to indicate a confidence in competence. There was ZERO foundation to question Alito's competence, yet the divisive and partisan Democrats found it necessary to turn the vote into one of fabricated issues.

Judge S. Alito was confirmed today by a vote of 58-42. Congratulations. You deserve it after the slanderous treatment you received from the Democrats.

Makes me wish Ginsburg had to be reconfirmed.

I guess it all comes down to respect for the system. Clinton won the election and appointed Ginsburg. The Republicans respected the Constitutional duty of making sure she was qualified. Now the roles are reversed and we see that the Democrats are disrespectful of their Constitutional duty AND nothing more than hypocrites in philosophy.

I expect that from them.
