  1. Lech- they expanded the meaning of “rights”, not made it up. Making it up would be the conservative attempt to give cells undergoing mitosis rights.

    And Cobble- you said you would reimburse me for those lunches. Remember? We both had the salad that day?

  2. legion- so you du understand what an ad hominem attack is, since you use it against me. I can’t argue with someone who has his own set of parameters that are based on his own particular interpretations of fact.

    The answer to your question about Obama? Political pressure from the right. Funding is not a constitutional right and as politicians put up more and more roadblocks, it will become even harder for women to exercise their rights. then someone will start a class action lawsuit and it will go to the Supreme Court for resolution based on the Constitution- as they see it. Throw up enough roadblocks to the free exercise of constitutional rights, and the Supreme Court will take it on to protect those rights. Roe vs Wade, Brown vs the BOE, gay rights legislation- this is why the Supreme Court decides these issues- to protect rights.

  3. “Would it be foolish to go to Yankee/ Red Sox games with man who few up in MA and is big Sox fan?”

    Not at all, donatella. A close friend of Biff’s and mine, whom I think you met, is a die hard Sox fan, while Biff and I are die hard Yankees fan, and it makes for a perfectly fun rivalry throughout the season.

    Ummmm, you do know that pitchers and catchers don’t report until February 14th, right, and that their first workout isn’t until the 15th? So where and when exactly are you going to a Yankees-Red Sox game???

  4. Legion is absolutely right about Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court basically just made it up out of whole cloth because they figured it was the right thing to do.

    It’s kind of accepted at this point that the Supreme Court gets to do that, to a point.

    But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I don’t want to hear liberals bitching when a conservative court does the same thing. And it will.
