The Live Thread/House of Lords For 8/5/10: Elena Kagan's Nominated To The Supreme Court (63-37 Is The Final Total)

By -
Elena Kagan nomination live and at the moment, as she is expected to pass with several moments of the nutcase party voting her in.

The live coverage of the vote is here, on C-Span website.

And as I predicted, it was 63-37.

Ben Nelson becomes the first Dem Senator since 1967 to vote against a Democratic appointed President. Collins, Snowe, Graham, Gregg and Lugar voted for her.

Besides that, everyone else went with the party line, including Sanders and Joey Lie (Lieberman).

Kagan becomes the 112th Supreme Court Justice and 4th women in history.

The Cinema Numbers Review For 3/29/10: A Dragon Is Preferred Over The Hubtub

The best movie of 2010 is deserving the big winner of the weekend. I guess those higher prices for 3-D helps in the money being large of course. "How To Train Your Dragon" grossed $43 million in week one, and the high acclaims for this outstanding movie have now stopped. If you didn't love this movie, then you should not only be banned from writing any more movie reviews ever again, but from writing all things in general. Meanwhile for Hot Tub Time Machine, it banked in a disappointing $13 million and a third place finish. It couldn't beat three week old Alice in Wonderland, as that juggernaut took home $17 million more.
