Court-Packing To Commence Tomorrow

al-Reuters “reports”:
The Republican-led Senate on Monday defeated a Democratic bid to block Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito — clearing the way for confirmation of the 55-year-old conservative who could move the high court to the right.
The needed 60 votes were mustered in the 100-member Senate to approve a motion to end debate on President Bush’s nominee. A confirmation vote is set for Tuesday. Alito has a commitment from a required simple majority to be approved.
A conservative federal appeals judge since 1990, Alito would replace the more moderate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. O’Connor, who is retiring, often has been the swing vote on the nine-member court on abortion, civil rights and other social issues.
Take out all them red parts, and you’ve got yourself an un-biased article. Thanks, al-Reuters!
