Pab Sungenis's JournalAnother disastrous SCOTUS opinion ("Adoptive Couple")

No Prop 8 or DOMA decisions today, per SCOTUSblog.
Court ruled the right way in the AID and enhanced sentencing cases, wrongly in the AMEX arbitration case. That's it for the day as far as decisions go.
The one thing I never forgave Frank Lautenberg for.
He not only refused to use his hold to keep Samuel Alito off the Supreme Court, but he gave him his imprimatur by introducing him to the Judiciary Committee. Even though he voted against confirming him in the end, he did nothing to stop the nomination.
Frank Lautenberg's spinelessness gave us Citizens United.
I grieve for the Senator, who did a lot of good in his early stint in the Senate, and for his family, but I can never forgive the damage he did to our democracy by kowtowing to Bush. I hope his successor has more of a spine.
