Justice Souter today announced that he's moving on to greener pastures, wants to "return to his native New Hampshire." This on the heels of the NH General Assembly legalizing gay marriage (possible veto pending) this morning.
Maybe it's not a coincidence, maybe he too has been waiting to gay marry?
Anyway, this is sort of ambivalent news I guess, since we're still a few retirements from changing the composition of the stupid stupid Supreme Court. However, I am really excited about the Republican circus that could result from this week's newly filibuster-proof Democratic majority. Assuming that Barack gets through his first choice, I think it's obvious that soon all marriages will be at least 65% gay by law.
Have you seen Souter recently, by the way? I'm used to this photo, which makes him look sort of sprightly, if a bit gray.
Well, apparently this photo is circa 1990, because today he looks like he has been partially reconstructed from pieces of an old baseball mitt.

it's crazy how politicians keep their official photo as themselves when they were first elected. I was working on a project that involved getting a mugshot of each republican rep & senator, and it's nearly universal. These guys are vain as hell.
