I'm sorry, did I say I was done for the night?

Habeas Corpus is gone from the United States, as of this afternoon. The prospects for the Court saving us are grim. One Republican absented himself from this travesty. 12 Democrats got on board with it. No real filibuster attempt was mounted.

I kinda just want to cry. Sleep well in your brand new country, everyone.

I just deleted a whole bunch of political blog RSS feeds from my reader - I just don't have the heart to keep reading about this stuff anymore. I think I'm starting to see the benefit of the "keep your eyes shut tight and hope for the best" approach most of the rest of the country seems to be taking to American politics...

A lot of the bloggers linking articles about this seem to have titled their entries "Fuck." That's about all I could muster on the subject too.
