I worry that Scalia is just trolling the Supreme Court.
Or that he's not.
Both are disturbing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So are the Txdems prepared to fil. again?
Crap, there's a storm maybe 20 minutes out. I think I'm not swimming tonight. We'll see.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't think a filibuster situation can arise again, because the Dems won't be able to delay a vote until the end of the session.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, what's the real logic behind a filibuster? Clearly it was working for the cause of good yesterday, but is it a loophole or a feature?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Got an emergency haircut, and am feeling much better about myself. Phew!

I think the right to filibuster in a legislature is a bad idea, does more harm than good and should be eliminated. But so long as it exists, I think any opportunity to use for good should be taken, because I don't believe in unilateral disarmament.

Argh, it's lovely outside, but a million degrees in my apartment, and there is no way to get a cross-breeze. I'm air-conditioning my bedroom, obviously, but should I have the living room fan blow the cool air in or the hot air out?
