Today is the day you have let us down

As President Obama prepares to announce his first Supreme Court nominee in a little over a hundred minutes, we are finally seeing the true consequences of the irresponsible voter.  When tasked with a decision between two men who could win, some chose the wrong one to be a part of history.  Some chose a third party on some impractical principle.  Others chose simply not to vote, because the better option wasn’t “better enough.”  Today, it finally comes to fruition.  All three of those groups have let us down, and the Constitution of this great nation takes another knife in the back.  Ironic, isn’t it, falling the day after we remembered the fallen soldiers who fought for this great land?  A Supreme Court nominee is the longest lasting, in certain terms, consequence of any presidency.  Selfishness at the polls will last long, long into the night and cost many their freedom and many more their lives.

There will be plenty of wailing when this announcement is made.  Unless you voted for the only option better than the reality that we have, I don’t want to hear it from you.  At least not today.

Update: It looks like it is going to be Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
