The greatest irony is that in recent years I made all my presidential election decisions based on who might be appointed to the Supreme Court. Yet it might be the Supreme Court itself that determines if my vote matters...

Now we get to see if your evaluation of judges is as good as your evaluation of pongids.

Just don't let this be another ctxs.

I couldnt agree more with our chief nit-picker.

one only appreciates the value of a vote, when one is not permitted to vote or when one's vote does not count as equal.

By this rationale, the courts couldn't even rule on issues regarding out and out vote fraud, then. Aren't courts the ultimate arbiter of the laws, even election laws?

I seem to have a much higher opinion of our legal system than most people, but it seems that a court ruling--no matter which way it goes--is the only way to confer any even minimal legitimacy on this.
