Good thing that you didn't wait another few minutes to actually learn exactly what they ruled and their logic before declaring your interpretation. Shouting "We're all doomed" regardless of the facts is such a Freeper tradition...
Dear Mr. Squat:
My remarks had little to do with the present ruling. I teach a course on congressional politics on a regular basis--just finished one section of it this spring--and my remarks hold regardless of the present ruling.
We are Balkanizing in many ways and it would make sense to me to employ tactics to stop it. I just finished reading a post on an academic thread where the editor of the thread was bemoaning not being in DC--said he was far removed from civilization. I thought of posting it on FR, but then thought "who cares?"
I am neither in danger nor in doubt and I am not running in circles nor planning to scream and shout.
