Samuel Alito has been confirmed to the Supreme Court. Huzzah for the constructionist Right!
The Washington Post doesn't even have a story up yet to go with its headline, t-his news is so fresh. This AP story has the vote as ongoing; Drudge lists the result as 58-42. If correct, this lines up with Opinion Journal's count, with 54 Republicans plus Dems Nelson, Conrad, Johnston, and Byrd voting "aye" and 41 Democrats, including uncommitted Landrieu, plus Republican Chafee voting "nay".
Update: the NYTimes story is up, just a few minutes behind Global Review, and with some fuzzy math in the headline, which proclaims a 58-43 vote in the 100-member body.
Update II: the WaPo story is up now too.

Kerry voted for him before he voted against him.
I'm going to filibuster Alito. Wait, no, I'm a wuss.
