I agree with you and Dovster. The bipartisan foolishness (of the dog and pony show as security) is triumphant today and all of us will lose, current trends standing. That said, I will be supporting Kerry in this election and will likely be supporting his opponent in 2008 -- given what I expect Kerry to do and not do. The reason Kerry gets my support is that Kerry-appointed judges are far more likely to be pro civil liberties vis-a-vis "security". Furthermore, I don't think Pres. Bush will be appointing a Souter-like individual again.
