Yup. Gonna be an interesting week.

Is this the thread where I'm supposed to get all frantic about the future of the US and pledge to move to another country if my candidate isn't elected?

It seems much more likely to me that a key litmus test for any supreme court nominee that passes through nomination by Obama and approval by a Democratic senate will be that judges' willingness to expand the power of the federal government in interpreting the constitution.

I suppose that would depend on what you consider a judicial activist to be. Some people have used that term to describe the judges in California and Massachusetts who overturned the ban on gay marriage when nothing could be further from the truth.

I consider Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito to all be activist judges who think they have the authority to ignore the Constitution when it is in favor of governmental "interests". They are granted no such power by the Constitution.

I'd certainly hope that any judges nominated by Obama will defend the RIGHT of a woman to get an abortion at any stage of pregnancy for any reason, or no reason she wants without any permission, notification, or oversight from any other person, group of people, or government entity. I'd like to see more judges who recognize that there are limits on what the government may or may not do, and which laws it may or may not create.

The election has been Godwinned.

Al-Qaeda endorses McCain
Black Supremacists endorse McCain
White Supremacists endorse Obama

And somehow all their logic actually does seem to make some sense from their perspective.

That Yahanna guy at the bottom of the list is a real dick. I haven't seen him in several months, but he and his group used to camp out every Friday afternoon at the entrance to the Metro by my office. He would throw racist comments at all the white people as they entered the Metro to go home for the weekend.

You are just being intolerant glatt. You should work on that issue. Sometimes the best way to learn is to help. I suggest you help him gather attention for his grievances. Pouring gas on him then throwing a match should work.

Kind of like a Devil's Advocate.

And could you still use Alec Baldwin's plane ticket?

Team America: World Police may have been right about the guy... but having Kim Jong Il singing uncomplimentary songs about you may still beat being blown into shreds of ham.

But I'm not sure about it.

Sigh.

The BBC's Philippa Thomas in Columbus, Ohio, says: In the affluent suburb of Grandview, I spoke to two different grandmothers with two different views. The Democrat said she hadn't voted for years, but that this was different - this was a day to make history. Her friend had phoned her up bright and early and told her: "Get down there now, don't even stop to finish your face!" The Republican lady said to me very emphatically: "I'm here to save this country." She wanted to tell me: "Mr Obama is associated with terrorists. He's not for America." Her husband looked somewhat worried at the turn of phrase and moved towards us - she said: "I don't care. It's the truth!" Would he like to make any comment, I asked. He just smiled and said: "I think she's said it all!"

Uuuh yep. He's going to win. I'm depressed about either of them winning, so I'll just watch and eat chocolate cake. I have a big meal planned, to cheer myself up. Gotta stay positive.
