I know. It's a particular American conceit that has us thinking we're sane enough not to do shit like this, but then again the past five years should have disabused me of that notion some time ago.

That said, this proposed state constitutional amendment in SD is a recipe for judicial anarchy. It's really bad news.

I could see that.

There's some pretty alarming stuff happening in the UK, under a Labour Government, even.

Me, I find it depressing, especially as so many are determined to be 'apolitical', that is, cluesless and easily manipulated.
