You like me! You really like me!
Reasons as to why I haven't weighed in (besides the fact that my weight is a source of embarrassment for yours truly);
1. I agree with Kerry's original post. I'm not throwing parties over the death of a man who had elevated himself to the highest court in the nation, but I am happy that he is no longer on said court. His views, in my opinion, were antiquated, unsophisticated, and in some cases, downright dangerous. Most of my social beliefs are left leaning, and the court tends to hear a significant amount of "social" cases. With a house and senate both controlled by the right, I feel that it is more necessary than ever to have either a Dem in the white house, or a Left biased SCOTUS, if only for the purpose of providing checks/balances.
2. While I have carried the flag on CR plenty of times in the name of common sense and human decency (not to mention intelligence, wit, charm, and good looks), even I am happy to let someone else do some of the lifting. In this case, Kerry is bearing the brunt of the work. I'm just fine with taking a laissez faire attitude towards this particular discussion.
In conclusion, feel free to "Kerry" on, whilst I sit back and enjoy the show.
