Who are you really voting for ................?

I read with interest that Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Rehnquist was recently released from the hospital after treatment for cancer. Justices Stevens,O'Connor and Ginsburg have also had bouts with various forms of cancer.

Ginsburg is 71, O'Connor is 74, Stevens is 84, and Rehnquist is 80...........

Are we getting the picture yet, ladies?

Rehnquist was appointed by Richard fucking Nixon............over 30 years ago.

It was the Supreme Court,four years ago, that gave us George Dubya and the assorted thieving assembly of dogmatic, anti-american, foaming-at-the-mouth right-wing fascisti and corporate cocksuckers that make up his puppeteers and minions.

Of course, you have to give some credit to the Sainted Founding Fathers......who neither liked nor trusted each other and trusted the judgement of the American people even less. They assumed that the rabble would be so regionally factionalized that no one man could ever win a majority of the electors, So they created a convoluted system for electing a Chief Executive that they were certain would consistently hand the decision over to the elitist gentleman lawmakers of the U.S.Congress.........but that is another rant.
Original meanings my history reading ass!

......... I digress.

The man you elect tomorrow will likely appoint replacements for at least the four justices named above.................
will it be a man and a party completely beholden to the religious right and the pro-life movement?

No law or decision of the court will give you true equality or parity until you have exercised the collective political strength at your disposal to remove the last threat to the tentative hold you have over the control of your own bodies.

Yoda told Luke Skywalker that there is no such thing as trying..........there is either doing or not doing.

In that same light and applying that same logic, there is no such thing as doing nothing............you either choose to act or you choose to not act.
Either way it is a clear choice that you make.
In that very same vein...........if you fail to go to the polls and vote, you essentially cast your ballot for whoever wins.........if you didn't vote against him, you voted for him by default.

Smart man, that Yoda.

I will be voting tomorrow...........I will vote for my two grand-daughters.
Someday, for reasons that are theirs and theirs alone, they may need to have the right to make a decision that is entirely and properly personal and private and likewise theirs alone to make.

Thus endeth the entry.............

My mom has been accosting people in Home Depot by telling them "The Supreme Court!" - it's really a scary and motivating thought.
