Oh - I agree - pretty close to 100%. I am not distraught nor particularly concerned. I just feel like the Supreme Court dug a hole for us - not unlike my trying to get my car out of the snow yesterday (trying to tie these divergent conversations together) rock forward, rock backwards, again and again and eventually get on the road once more. I don't feel like we needed a hole. The Beatles, eh? He's got a hole in 'is pocket. Half a whole, anyway. On the other hand we will have a fascinating ineffectual government. No mandate. No honeymoon. A 50/50 split in the Senate (is this really the first time this has ever happened?). A filibuster rule that says if 40% of the Senate doesn't want to talk about it, it ain't going to happen. No appointee who is 2 degrees right or left of center is going to get appointed to anything - including the Supreme Court. We are not going to have much government for the next 4 years. And I think that is very good news. I just wish that if we are going to be moving forward we didn't start by putting it in reverse.
