7. What was the vote? Here's to one down and hopefully several more to go.

[Hepburn]

24. 9 Pubbie crossed over to vote for her....

...not sure of all the names, tho.

[redqueen]

9. Yay!

I'm a tiny bit afraid of the backlash... this is going to drive even more wingers plumb out of their minds.

[MadMaddie]

27. Yea, but the whole procedure showed the true colors of the repugs

they lost possibly a generationn of latino, women and other voters.

The backlash is that the haters will always be haters.

11. I hope she gives Fat Tony fits.

[KansDem]

22. Shouldn't be too difficult...

I think Fat Tony can have fits all by himself...

[Cha]

12. Brilliant!

Happy DAy:party:

14. Results

Al Franken is announcing the result now at 3:14PM EST, Yea 68, Nah 31

Not sure how you could have posted 5 minutes ago that it was official!

[cali]

19. I was watching the vote live. When she got 51 votes, I posted.

[kirby]

21. That is not official...

People can change their votes and such before the vote is closed. I guess accuracy doesn't mean anything.

Anyway, congrats to Sotomeyer.

[cali]

23. the reality is that in SC confirmations that rarely happens

but yeah, it wasn't official, simply fucking factual. She was confirmed the minute she got 51 votes. but what the fuck ever, friend.
