I lived through a lot of 6-3 conservative SC rulings where only Powell, Brenan and Stewart ruled for sanity. It was a heartbreaking time, the right had the Court and Reagan in office, really depressing time, but I lived through it. One thing that I know about national affairs is that when the pendulum swings too far one way, it swings back the other way fairly quickly.

My policy is that I totally check out during that time. DU, Local news, national news. Most of that time is spent on our boat on the gulf or traveling overseas.

Without those breaks I would go insane.

Come back when you are ready.
