Yeah, okay. Last night I'd only read the thing from The Atlantic, so I went and signed that petition-y thing just now. Ah, it looks like they're saying the president can try to sway the court, and we can try to sway him? Which admittedly doesn't seem like much, but I don't know a lot about these things, so maybe it's not so bad.
Heh, yeah, thanks. We're coming up on elections right now so I'm sure everyone's more concerned with that. Right now the trending topic is how seriously Mitt Romney does or doesn't want to defund PBS, after something stupid he said about Big Bird and cutting subsidies. And I spent half an hour yesterday in a panic because my state made my absentee voter application incomprehensible, and I nearly screwed myself out of being able to register on a technicality before giving up and registering to vote where I go to school instead of where I *actually* live. I only hope 5 days is long enough for my forms to get there in the mail....
Sorry, bit of an election-year-angst info-dump there....
