John Roberts Swears In Alito As Supreme Court Justice

Posted on January 31, 2006

Congrats to Justice Alito, now an official Supreme Court Justice.

WASHINGTON (AP) - 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.

    I just left my underground shelter. The sky didn’t cave in, my home is intact and wiretap free, the earth is still spinning on it’s axis, and there is no rioting in the streets.

    The effect of Samuel Alito’s confirmation was nil. My fears were misplaced. The only problem, and it may send me back underground, is the ACLU is still here!
