Alito Vote Today, Filibuster Fails

The Alito nomination will go to the Senate for vote today.  The filibuster failed on a vote of 72-25 yesterday (see Washington Post). Michelle Malkins reports on Teddy Kennedy's histrionics on the floor of the senate.    I think its fair to say that the man is unhinged.  Other commentary on where this leaves the Democrats at Captains Corner and Big Lizards.   The Corner at National Review has a selection of censored commentary from the left.   See also James Taranto's Best of the Web.  The Moderate Voice discusses how the Democrats were tactically outmaneuvered, quoting a very interesting New York Times article.
