Live: The Senate Vote on John Roberts Confirmation

UPDATE: The final vote was 78-22.

The Senate is voting today on the confirmation of John Roberts as Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. The fix is in and he will be confirmed since not one Republican will cast a vote of conscience to oppose his nomination. This is a rubber stamp procedure for them. The fact that they’re all willing to vote for Roberts speaks volumes. Let’s hope Roberts proves them all wrong and turns out to be one of the most liberal justices ever. A gal can dream.

Watch or listen online on C-SPAN
Announced votes indicate the final vote will be 77-21.

I will post a list of Democrats voting against Roberts shortly.

Here they are:
