2. "That is the smallest number of senators...

Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 01:28 PM by mcscajun

...in the president’s opposing party to support a Supreme Court justice in modern history. Chief Justice John Roberts got 22 Democratic votes last year, and Justice Clarence Thomas _ who was confirmed in 1991 on a 52-48 vote _ got 11 Democratic votes."

Whoever said that ought to be smacked upside the head for an idiot.

"What do you call someone who graduated last in his class from medical school?"
"I don't know, what?"
"Doctor."

If the vote had been 51-49, the result would still have been the same = Justice Alito.
