the headline says Democrats take last jabs at Alito, but i doubt that's true. i'm afraid that democrats will be jabbing, or at least complaining, about alito for the rest of alito's life.
when i wrote my last post yesterday morning, i originally had a line acknowledging that ultimately i think alito will be confirmed. i deleted the sentence before i hit the publish button. for some reason i am reluctant to say out loud (or write online) what i believe: that alito is heading towards probable confirmation. i'm not a superstitious person. but it's funny how part of me still fears that by articulating something, i am making it more likely to happen.
ADDENDUM: have i mentioned that i hate how the headlines of yahoo news articles sometimes change? the article behind the link no longer has the headline i was reacting to in the first paragraph of this post. maybe i should have less faith in an organization that calls itself "yahoo news."
