Alito moves ahead on a party-line vote
Sen. Schumer is still to speak (filibuster? bluster?). But it's a pretty safe bet he'll follow his fellow Dems on the Judiciary Committee in voting against Alito.
Oh, well.
As we say in the NCAA tourney, "survive and advance." A 10-8 vote is the same as 18-0. He heads on to the full Senate.
