Discouraging, wasn’t it? Last week, when the Supreme Court’s exercise in pretzel logic ruling in Sebelius came out and shocked everyone (pro or anti-ObamaCare), my blog-buddy ST took to calling me an optimist, because I was telling anyone who would listen that the fight wasn’t over, that we could still win, that the fight had only just started [1].
And yet it’s hard not to be discouraged in the face of a Congress that rams a horrible bill down our throats via anti-constitutional means, and then has it saved by a Justice –supposedly one of ours– who rewrites the statute in order to save it, effectively telling the rest of us that our opinions on what is constitutional — what is plainly right— don’t matter.
So, late at night, empty martini glass in hand, even I felt the pangs of despair.
Enter Coach Whittle, who isn’t having any of it:
Let’s turn 2012 into such a landslide, the Democrats look back on the Great Shellacking [2] of 2010 as a golden age.
Game on.
