I'd imagine medical necessity would have prevented her from serving the entirety of his term.
Her departure is going to be a blow to the Court (and the nation) regardless of the politics of her replacement though.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

It's quiet here at work. I heard two stockers in the grocery store talking about the election, but they were talking 3rd parties and how Republicans aren't real Republicans, whatever that means. Little overt wailing, just a sense of glum.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I forget the intiative number, but "save California's ass" tax measure passed. Also the "tax the rich, but just tip money - not very much" passed too.
No. Prop 30, which is an increased sales tax as well as an income tax on earners over some amount passed. The other tax, proposed by Molly Munger, lost BIG.

I've never seen a physical iteration of Nate Silver. Is he a real person or a super computer?

I know. I know he really exists, but he does seem to be uncanny.
Also, this slate piece Cheer Up, Obama's A Moderate Republican is pretty spot on.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I woke up this morning and couldn't quite believe it, still. I spent most of the morning waiting for the other shoe to drop a la 2000.
I'm so glad Prop 30 made it. I don't envy CA voters.
