I'm curious though, does the slow boil in the frog pot ever bother you?

Not yet. This isn't over till the fat lady sings. I'd like to know more before I cut my wrist like many of you folks.

I poste a link in HTML up above. I would direct you to the dissents of Scalia, Kennedy, Rehnquist and Thomas. Play close attention to how O'Connor turned 180 degrees since Buckley.

But I should remind you that I've already read most of their dissents. You are the one operating from, shall we say, ignorance? No offense but you are accusing me as well as others of shooting from the hip but we're not. You need to look past this decision and see where it goes.

One thing we know historically is that SCOTUS precedents do not compress over time, they expand. I can see where the expansion will go absent a change in the court, I am surprised that you can't.

On the contrary. We are not cutting our wrists, we are girding our loins for the upcoming clash, and it's gonna be a doozy.
