Re: Inside Today's RBC Meeting

JN-S:

Please accept my sympathy for having to spend an entire Saturday sitting through this. I've been listening on C-SPAN radio, which is the perfect way to do it, because I can do other stuff (like run errands) while they are droning on about Subsection C of Rule 3 or whatever. However, I must say some of the more over-the-top arguments from the Florida and Michigan folks struck me as potentially counterproductive to their cause. Invoking apartheid in this situation, or the Supreme Court in 2000, is likely to annoy the folks who made these rules--and put the state parties on notice as to how they intended to enforce them.
