Be Prepared (Michele Bachmann edition)

Here's a cool snapshot—an over-the-shoulder shot of the stack of speeches Michele Bachmann brought to the Supreme Court for different possible outcomes. Looks like she ended up reading from the "Worst Case Scenario" speech.

I am not criticizing Bachmann for having different speeches prepared. I hope our side did as well. It's common sense. But I will note that it appears that Ms. Bachmann considers yesterday's decision worse than Roe v. Wade. Given what she thinks abortion is the American Holocaust I would be intrigued to hear her explanation of that ranking. But that's politics... whatever happened today is the worst thing in history and will be until tomorrow.
