Yesterday on Coruscant...

So the Senate closed it's doors yesterday, under Rule 21. Apparently Rule 21 allows for a closed session to be held by the Senate. Personally I think it's just a democratic stunt to deflect from the potential success that Samuel Alito could be and turn things against the administration - keeping "the war" and the Plame Game in primary focus for as long as possible, keeping any media eye away from something positive. Tapscott's Copy Desk has a great post about this and journalistic outcry.
