Courting Disaster

Things are looking pretty good for the President's latest nomination to the Supreme Court. Barring any major missteps, it's fairly certain that he will be confirmed once these (really boring) hearings end. So now the main question is:

Just how much are we fucked?



Alito, or a lot?

In slightly happier news, it's been revealed that Mr. Alito has a major, six-figure interest in the investment company Vanguard. Which just happens to be where my retirement savings are. Which I feel wonderful about. Mo-fos won't be pulling no Enron on a Supreme Court Justice, even if he does think it's okay to strip search women and children not named on a search warrant, or deports the fiances of women seeking asylum from forced abortions in communist countries, or says a woman's right to choose isn't protected by the Constitution. At least I know my Golden Years: Toronto fund is safe and sound.
