Looks like a pretty big deal. Some fundamental issues were left in no man's land for decades with plenty of people magically believing this or that version that suited their views. Now there's a proper precedent, even if it is 5-4. Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Well, we all have to go sometimes. It's actually better for the Democrats' legislative hopes; a long incapacitation would've prevented them from getting a replacement. I hope that doesn't sound too cold but, I've seen a lot of politics in my young life. No man is thought of as indispensable for long. Life moves on - fast.

Probably depends on your definition of 'recover'...

Welcome To My Haven

I know there's other ways to share what you read but, I wanted a blog about it. Someone might be interested in all the crazy things I'm reading around the world.

Fair warning: I read fast. I am good at skimming, too. And I don't comment on politics... but I'll link to what I'm reading and considering without comment.
