Soon we'll have you making babies to step up for the war of 2023

ETA: Do not read this post by law Professor Michael Froomkin at Discourse.Net. I know it seems like he's making sense but I think he's sneakily being what they call "ironic." Which, it turns out, does not have an awful lot to do with rain on your wedding day.

So like I said, don't read it. Also, do not think of a purple cow.

The only effective way to retake control of the public debate and distract from Katrina is to reignite the culture war, a move which would give the GOP a reasonable shot at controlling the debate for the next election. And the best way to do that is to appoint an anti-abortion Justice such as Priscilla Owen shortly after Roberts is confirmed. Far better to have the next election be about abortion than competence, Iraq, or indeed anything to do with the way the nation has recently been governed.

The ever-shrill Amanda, always blogging on "womyn's issues" better hope that boyfriend of hers is shopping for a ring to make an honest "womyn" out of her. And she knows it, too; for once the little mad dog can't even summon up the breath to snort; she's accepted the inevitable:

For what it’s worth, it’s hard for me to write about Roberts for the same reason it’s hard for Kevin Drum—it’s such a farce. He’s clearly going to get the position and it’s just a matter of noting what idiotic Democrats go along with it. That and I’ve been worn down by the people who thought this wasn’t worth fighting about and that things like Roe v. Wade weren’t really being threatened. I do it anyway, but my heart isn’t in it....Abortion really is going to have to be criminalized before a good number of people wake up, I think.

It's gonna be a lot better than you think it is, Amanda. You'll like being a mother, and you'll see that this is really a gift from God. We'll take care of you; don't worry.
