Alito Sworn In as Nation's 110th Supreme Court Justice

Samuel Alito was sworn in as the nation's 110th Supreme Court justice on
Tuesday, less than two hours after the Senate voted 58-42 to confirm him to the
nation's highest court. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the judicial
oath and constitutional oath, by which Alito pledged equal justice for the rich
and the poor and to uphold the Constitution, respectively. It was the first time
the nation's new chief justice has ever administered the oaths to an associate
justice.
I wonder what Ted Kennedy's going to say...
