71. Yeah it's not "abnormal" but ANY time the Supreme Court gets near the presidency it's news.
it just is. Sorry, that's because the presidency is important, and the Supreme Court has a record on the presidency. It's not good.

Cali, your "calm down" job is essentially analogous to telling moms and dads who've just found out their kid is with a child molester that victimized them previously to just CALM DOWN, you're BEING RIDICULOUS. If anyone thinks this analogy at all exaggerated, then I submit they need to review bush v. Gore and the fact that it cost us an 8 year Bush presidency.

Keeping calm is fine. I'm all for that. But Closing your eyes to facts is something else. I won't begrudge you the right to keep your peace of mind, if you sense that you'd "lose it" to stress if you let it in. I just don't think you can go around policing your own level of denial to make sure everyone else shares it.

Did you know they're claiming up to 50,000 fedexes/letters sent to the Supreme Court in the last few days demanding they take the case? Here's a link updated early yesterday showing 31,545 communications http://hillarysvillage.net/showthread.php?p=34499

The above doesn't freak me out, it may be exaggerated, or made up, but nor can I conclude that it definitely isn't true either. Just another fact for the mix.

So, I'm still cool calm and collected, but now this child molester is getting egged on by what seems like unprecedented levels of mail to mess with our presidency. We can't bury our heads in the sand either. The supreme court doesn't really need law or fact to rule the way it wants to rule.
