Oh and BTW

The Supreme Court has seen fit to completely re-corporatize US politics, won-derful news.
Just once, I'd like to see a decision like this operate against Big Money Interests by way of the Iron Law of Unintended Consequences, but that is of course, wishful thinking of the Scot Lehigh variety.
No what this underscores is the very high stakes in play the next time there is a vacancy in the Supreme Court, especially if it is a conservative's seat that is to be filled.
Thanks to Scot "My daughter's are available" Brown's election, that fight in the Senate will no doubt be a nasty one, don't look for any compromise in that fight, and don't depend on any phantom collection of moderates to save the day either.
