The snarky Washington Post headline on this reads, "The Vote to End Debate," as if confirming an official is an oppression of the free speech of those who oppose the confirmation. I doubt they ran similar headines when their choices for confirmation have been approved.
Did you bother to read the article before complaining about the headline? The article isn't even about "confirming an official." It's about the vote to end debate, which happened yesterday. The confirmation vote happened today, after the article was written.
The Washington Post articles about Alito being confirmed and sworn in are headlined "Alito Wins Supreme Court Confirmation" and "Alito Sworn In as Supreme Court Justice."
