Roll call vote confirms Sotomayor, 68-31 - Gutenberg - 08-06-2009
Teddy Kennedy was not present to vote.
Here's the tally (I think the breakdown by astrological sign is a hoot):

Sagittarians were quite gung ho for her.

"Don't be fooled by the seat that I got
I'm still, I'm still Sonia from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from, from the Bronx..."

Go Sonia... Go Sonia... Go Soniaaa!

I got a kick out of Al Franken making the announcement.
I half-expected a streaker with a clown-wig on to pop up and shout, "Live from New York...!"

You just have to know it's bad if Ted doesn't make this vote. Good news for billb is almost always bad news for the rest of us.

We've certainly gotten our money's worth out of a respectable statesman that Ted Kennedy has been for Massachusetts.
The esteemed Senator has missed quite a few sessions in the last year due to chemo and radiation.
I hope Rgr doesn't represent all Californians in wishing ill health on anyone.

So who are the dolts who voted against her and what is their justification. Sotomayer was on Bush's short list. I bet the hypocrites wouldn't have voted against her if he'd advanced the nomination. Partisan bullshitery is all it is.
