Today at TPMCafe, E.J. Graff has a wonderful post about the passing of Coretta Scott King and the confirmation of Alito, while Matt Yglesias takes note of the Democrats' high level of unity in opposing the latter's confirmation. Kate Steadman writes about the AARP's flip-flop on its partnership with the GOP on the Medicare Part D benefit, and Paul Kiel brings us the latest installment of the Daily Muck.  Finally, Greg Anrig and Todd Gitlin weigh in on how Dems should respond to the State of the Union tonight.
