Update [2005-7-19 21:39:21 by BooMan]: It’s John Roberts. Will John Roberts overturn Roe? Who knows. What he will do is vote with Scalia on dozens of issues that have been decided 5-4 against Scalia. Bummer. Kerry should have been elected. I put my heart and soul into Kerry’s election because I knew everything depended on it. Kerry lost. Now we’re fucked. Roberts will be confirmed unless he screws up during the hearings. We will watch the hearings closely. But we will watch Fitzgerald closer.

The President is going to go on national television is a few minutes. He is going to tell us who he has chosen to replace Justice O’Connor on the Supreme Court.

Maybe his choice will be another Souter, or maybe his choice will be another Scalia. Whatever his choice, we know that he only made it today to protect his friend, Karl Rove.

Karl Rove is guilty of leaking classified information for purely political purposes. His leak was made to undermine an investigation into the lies that were told to the American public and our Congress to justify a preemptive war of aggression.

The makeup of the Supreme Court is important. It’s very important. But we can’t forget the real story. The real story is unfolding through high-level leaks coming out of Tony Blair’s administration, the CIA, and the State Department. The real story is that the war in Iraq was based on a pack of lies, that it was poorly planned, and that we are losing that war.

So, let’s keep everything in perspective.
