WASHINGTON - Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. was sworn in as the nation's 110th Supreme Court justice on Tuesday after being confirmed by the Senate in one of the most partisan victories in modern history.
Alito was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts in a private ceremony at the Supreme Court building across from the Capitol at about 12:40 p.m., EDT, court officials said.
Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, along with other members of the court and their spouses, attended the ceremony in the justices' conference room. The 55-year-old New Jersey jurist took both the constitutional and judicial oaths so he can immediately participate in court decisions.

This may well be the turning point for America to turn away from a culture of death to one of life and protection for all of its citizens no matter how young or old. Praise be to God.

ROFLMAO.
This writer must be 12 years old.
HE has NO perspective on what Congress was like with LBJ in Oval Office, or Tip O'Neal etc etc etc.
I guess it's only non-partisan if the Democrats get their way?
