The Senate on Monday all but guaranteed Samuel Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court, shutting down liberals' last-minute attempt to block the conservative judge with a filibuster. On a 72-25 vote, Republican and Democratic senators agreed to end their debate, setting up a vote this morning on Alito's confirmation to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. With at least 57 votes committed to Alito, approval by majority vote in the 100-member Senate is seemingly assured.
