    I agree. Kudos to the Tweeter from SCOTUSBlog.

    I dunno. There is so much ignorance and ill will in politics that this stuff is going to live forever in some distorted form as if the Supreme Court did it.

    And they wonder why they can’t get credentials…..

    @Pinky: We’ve hit the Internet Age — everything embarrassing lives forever. We might as well laugh at it.

    Upvote for the magnanimity though. These are dumb liberals we’re talking about.

    @Tillman: Not magnanimity. Things are confusing enough as-is.
