Alito Confirmed
In the category of unsurprising is the collapse of the fillibuster against Judge Alito and his confirmation. Only ardent leftists living inside the media bubble thought it was going to happen any other way.
The only real question is why Alito was confirmed 58-43 and Ginsberg 96-3. She wasn't the more qualified candidate; Republicans voted on ability, Democrats on politics.
