And so I have listened to the debates, read the notes, heard the pundits and I have, as expected, formed an opinion.

Hey, elections have consequences. And the consequence of the American public electing Obama is having this far left socialistic idealogue on the supreme court.

The thing that turned it for me was, of course, first that ridiculous ruling on the New Haven firemen case, shows you where she’s coming from. But did anybody see that sight byte....the one where she’s...la-di-da....smirking and saying...oh sure, I know we don’t legislate from the bench...smirk...smirk....

Well right there I can see this woman have visions of an America where abortions are mandatory, white folks, especially white males, are a minority and must wear a special emblam on their arms, John and Steve weddings will be the norm and all members of their towns must attend....

well I could go on.

Couple of things then I shut up. First, bear in mind that she is replacing the very liberal Souter so I’m not convinced she’ll bring much more social-liberalism to the court than Souter did. Second...what the hell people...elections have consequences. The American people voted Obama in and he has the right to nominate his supreme nominees.

The bigger question and this time I really mean I’ll shut up...is WHAT WILL THE REPUBLICANS DO?

They can filibuster this thing but we need every damn one of them. Does anybody think for a second that Snowe and her ilk will join a filibuster?

I accept that Obama got elected but I get bitter when I consider that we have no opposition party whatsoever.

Now I must shut up.

Those who did not vote for McCain are now seeing the results of sitting on the couch.
