So much has been happening both to me and in the outside world lately, and I've been overextended, applying my writing skills to other pursuits, and I'm still busy, so this is going to be a short post.
I wanted to express pleasure with the Supreme Court's decision not to allow implementation of the voter ID law in Wisconsin. Given that it did allow voter "reform" laws of a similar nature in Texas and North Carolina, it would appear that the Court is not as ideologically minded as it appears to be, examining voting laws on a case-by-case basis and deciding that some are valid and others aren't, even though Samtonin Scalito (the Court's two-headed Italian monster) and Uncle Thomas comprised the minority in the 6-3 ruling involving the Wisconsin law.
My sincere sympathies go to the victims of the shooting in Ottawa yesterday. It seems that even Canada isn't immune to the toxic combination of malaise and terrorism-inspired violence in the Western world these days, and to find the Canadian capital the scene of such ugliness - considering it's in a country that normally doesn't see violence of that sort - is heart-rending.
Back later . . .
