It's not that I'm not interested in observing Bush's attempt to replace Rove with Roberts in the headlines, but meanwhile... government keeps churning. Congress is strengthening the goddamn
Patriot Act, and we may not have any rights left to quibble over by the time we have yet another white male on the Supreme Court.
I know it seems dull compared to watching volleys in the match over whether Rove or Roberts gets the headlines, but this may well have more serious long-term implications than all the damage both of them can do. Let's make sure the long-term impact of the Patriot Act doesn't get completely buried while today's issues get worked and re-worked in the headlines.
