Patrick Leahy's court-packing scheme

Senator Cantaloupe thinks retired Supreme Court justices ought to be able to "pinch hit".

How about this, Aunt Pettitoes? How about if we pull you off the mound the next time there's a vote on an issue where you've taken money from some company over whose industry you have oversight responsibilities? Does that sound good to you, 'cause it sure sounds good to me.

On to victory!

Election day's comin' up, and things are getting exciting. We're on the road to a historic victory, but it won't happen without grassroots support and actual votes, so get out there!

Tread on this."

Contraservatives

Correction: Conor F. writes to say that it wasn't he who went skinny-dipping with Bill Buckley - and he's right! It was Ross Douthat. Sorry, Conor.

Conor Friedersdorf – a self-styled conservative whose primary targets are conservatives, and whose main link to the conservative movement seems to be that he once went skinny-dipping with Bill Buckley – wants you to know that he’s a “senior editor” of Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish blog. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection finds this surpassing, and hilariously, strange.
