The vote was 68-31 in the Senate.

About the only real surprise here is that Republicans have structured this entire thing in a way seemingly designed to piss off the Hispanic Americans, all for a Justice who really won’t matter:

• She will not be a big change from Souter.
• She won’t serve that long, she is 55, and has a condition, Diabetes, that statistically means that her lifespan will be on the order of 10 years less than that of a similar person.
• The Dems had the 60 votes to close off debate pretty much from the start.

Not clear why they decided to be assholes about this…..Maybe Rush really does own the ‘Phants.
