Wild and Crazy Day

No guarantees on posts for the next several days. The lovely and gracious Tanya and I have been running around like crazy today, and will be for the next several days. The reason? We have received our travel dates for our first trip to Russia as we move forward with our adoption. We are getting visa applications, medical records, and other such documents prepared and certified. Levi and Aaron are waiting, so we've got to get busy.

Of course, when I got out of bed this morning, I was planning to have something to say about the decision coming out of the 9th Circuit Court ruling the Pledge of Allegiance as unconstitutional. No time for a lengthy discussion today, but let me just say that, while this decision is outrageous, it may well work to the advantage of those of us who desire a return to sanity in the federal courts. Most are saying now that the Democrats are willing to concede on John Roberts' nomination to the Chief Justice's seat so that they can fight tooth and toenail against a conservative being nominated to replace Sandra O'Connor. But this ruling reminded Americans why they don't like the kind of judges that liberal Democrats prefer. Opportunity may have just started knocking very loudly.
