re: #150 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I don’t think the rally is holding people’s attention. It’ll happen today, be mocked briefly, and disappear. Meanwhile, Kagan and Sotmoyor will continue to rule on stuff for a long time.

Today it is holding our attention. Topic of the morning, 150 plus posts mostly on topic, media coverage etc.

When will the court address “relevance” in the context of the P.A. and NSA metadata logging? That’s still just as assertion, unproven in open court. When that happens I will be more impressed than I am today. Sure the judiciary may save us but that’s supposed to be more of a last resort.

Lot’s of attention to bigotry and insulting signs at the rally. Very little attention to reasonable efforts to assess the legalities and return to our previous civil protections. Like the legislative proposal efforts of the ACLU.for instance.
