The White Boys Club

... or as it's more commonly referred to, the Supreme Court of the United States. Not surprisingly, the 58-42 vote confirming Sammy Alito as the 110th justice was almost entirely partisan. Kudos to Rhode Island's Lincoln Chafee for being the lone Republican with the stones to divert from the GOP.

Sammy replacing Sandy wasn't really any sort of surprise; in fact, having decisions in the country's highest court decided by one white woman, one black man, and seven other white males seems to be a fairly accurate representation of power in America.
