Here’s the real question…

What’s more important…your hatred or your principles?

I remember Ellen being chastised for stating last winter that she wasn’t going to vote in this election…

Do you understand that these judges last for decades? Do you understand that the court is so close to being dominated by repressive, faith-heads that a vote for <i>habeus corpus</i> of all things only passed by <i>one vote</i>?<br /> <br /> There are bigger matters at stake here. With a couple more theocratic reactionaries on the bench, you will be dreaming fondly of the days of GWB.

That may take a while unlike in Europe where religion is becoming the minority. I feel betrayed.
