The Supreme Court Nominee Post.
I was going to comment about the nomination, but the St. Blog's discussion quickly degenerated into "Ready...Fire!...Aim..." panic-mongering and demands for the behavior that a Properly Catholic™ Nominee is required to display. E.g., he must enter the Judiciary Committee chambers through a hole in the ceiling made with plastic explosives, wear a "Death to Roe!" tattoo on his forehead, and has to lash Pat Leahy with a rosary whenever the Senator from Vermont fails to phrase his queries in Latin. Moreover, failure to agree with these demands makes you Ted Kennedy's drinking buddy.
I quickly tired of trying to converse with mindset.
So, instead, I'll leave you with this non-partisan, non-religious observation:
There is something dangerously out-of-whack with the American political system when a single nominee to the Supreme Court is this important.
That is all.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
