Republican-led Senate defeats bid to stop Alito Mon Jan 30, 2006 5:06 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-led Senate on Monday defeated a Democratic bid to block Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito -- clearing the way for confirmation of the 55-year-old conservative who could move the high court to the right. The needed 60 votes were mustered in the 100-member Senate to approve a motion to end debate on President Bush's nominee. A confirmation vote is set for Tuesday. Alito has a commitment from a required simple majority to be approved. A conservative federal appeals judge since 1990, Alito would replace the more moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. O'Connor, who is retiring, often has been the swing vote on the nine-member court on abortion, civil rights and other social issues. © Reuters 2006. All Rights Reserved.
