That would be very interesting. I didn’t get that from the TMP report, but there’s obviously a lot of confusion on this stuff.

I, too, just cancelled my emails from Barrack…what a shame…had “hope” that he would be different..guess I was wrong. Was going to donate next week…not now.

Not that there wouldn’t be a certain bookending quality to it, i.e. President Bush: Ushered in by SCOTUS, Ushered out by SCOTUS.

I just called the Obama campaign and requested my donations back … They were not happy

I wish to be as erudite as possible when I say this: “Fuck them”

Christy,

Forgive me for noting this so late in the day. My lateness does not lessen my sentiment…

You are a true Patriot.

Thank you.

In reading the National Bar Association letter that went out to Congress members and the New York State Bar Association letter that went out to Congress members IRT FISA (a few weeks ago), these legal associations pretty much mapped out the unconstitutional nature of the legislation (as did you,everyone here, Glenn, EW, bmaz…) One can only hope Walker will side with their written perspectives…

It would be amazing to watch an opinion of the statute as unconstitutional, get appealed and end up shot down by SCOTUS; especially with so many lawyers, from both sides of the isle as represented by these organizations, watching and shaking their heads at the fact that this is even a question before the court…

Just called BO’s office at 312.819.2416 (the number from my credit card statement) and spoke to a nice, if flustered, man named Scott who said that they would process a refund of my donation. Unsubscribed from the e-mails, made a donation to the ACLU, etc. Time to visit with Jack Daniels and have a good cry.

Wouldn’t that be great? Though no matter what happens in Walker’s court, it’ll go upstairs on appeal and be decided there (would you agree?). Is there anything Walker or the plaintiffs could do at their level, establishing-the-record-wise, that could conceivably make any difference for the appeals process?
