Rather than cut and paste and acknowledge, visit Crooks and Liars [RSS Feed]for some very interesting commentary on the Karl Rove issue (including a letter from former CIA employees about the issue), John Roberts appointment to the SCOTUS (and the commentary that goes with that).
**Update** I also found this quote from ACLU Executive Director, Anthony Romero, “Without the Supreme Court, the South would still be segregated, illegal abortions would be claiming thousands of lives, the indigent would have no right to a lawyer, and lesbian and gay Americans could be imprisoned for their private sexual conduct.“
