In Other News, Sky Still Blue
I’m gearing up to post more regularly, since my post-exam cool-down period is over. (I just had an image of laying in bed next to my Con Law exam, smoking a cigarette, asking “was good for you, too, baby?” Hopefully I was… *ahem* big spoon. I’ll find out in a few months.)
For right now, though, a bit of ill-informed wondering: “McCain Says He Would Put Conservatives on the Supreme Court.” This headline has been showing up on my Google headlines, in various permutations, for most of today.
Why is this news? Was there a chance that he wouldn’t appoint conservative judges? Or is it just that the media feels they have to write something about McCain since Obama and Clinton have been so much in the spotlight with their continuing battle for their party’s nomination, and he happened to provide them with a good soundbite?

conservatives—-opposed to neo-cons. The difference is Strauss vs. Kirk. It really does make a big difference. I’ll write more on it later. The difference is that sometimes neocons vote in favor of liberal social issues, and sometimes conservatives make personal decisions that get them in a lot of trouble (Clarence Thomas).
