BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor confirmed: 68-31

By GottaLaff

Al Franken is President of Senate for the Sotomayor vote. I'm kvelling.

I'm watching CSPAN2 as we speak. History is being made. The votes are being tallied.

Yes: 68

No: 31

Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor: Confirmed.

Happy Thursday!

UPDATE, news conference righ tnow on MSNBC:

Leahy: "This is a remarkable thing in our history... It's America, you can accomplish... "

Why must MSNBC cut into every live news event these days? CNN isn't carrying the presser either.
