If the rowdy citizens of the blogisphere were in charge of the
Nation, we’d have only lynch mobs and kangaroo courts. For
proof, see Prof. Bainbridge‘s new Harriet Miers Poll. So far,
almost no one is willing to “Wait and See.”
This plays into the hands of observers who believe
that many Conservatives who talk about “strict constructionism”
and “originalism” are mostly into “resultism” Of course, it
could also be that webloggers and their public would rather
have an opinion than a considered judgment about the important
issues of the day. (see blawggers mug Old Gray Lady) And, it
surely seems, that those Federalistales are very big on woe-is-we
martyrdom, mixed with a dash of narcissism.
As for this poll, perhaps a better set of choices would have been:
Leaning For
Leaning Against
Wait-and-See
Then, we could at least have a semblance of open minds.

sucking her thumb
moongazes
as the spider
