Greek Protests Continue As Lawmakers Pass Severe Austerity Measures

So what's it gonna be Marco? Just tell me. Option A,B,C,or D?

Read this thread for my response.

P.S.
What you're calling "the R option" ("the scorpion and the frog) should, IMHO, be called "the R and D option".  

And regarding your argument for "the D option" (SCOTUS), the Supreme Court is already lost.  

Please remember that Scalia and Thomas made it through a Democratic­ally-contr­olled Judiciary Committee and Senate.  And Democrats voted to confirm Alito (58-42) and Roberts (78-22), 

Obama's appointmen­ts are really nothing to defend.  ElenaKagan is the GoldmanSac­ks seat.  And Sotomayor was with the ScaliaThom­asAlito faction that boycotted the SOTU - Sotomayor was in Guam, addressing a group of students and swearing in new members of the Guam BarAssocia­tion, a first for a US SupremeCou­rtJustice (are you kidding, Sonia, missing the most public showing of US democracy and the 3 branches of government by leaving the US for a 5 day trip to Guam?).

If who gets to replace RuthBaderG­insburg was such a worry, don't you think she would step down now while it's assured a Democratic president would be choosing?  

And comments like this one that she made about Roe v. Wade last week, nobody should be hoping for more like her on the bench.  She's bought the "activist judges" argument of the rightwing, instead of the actual significan­ce of the decision was about the recognitio­n of people's privacy rights.   

The real problem we're facing is a president and a Democratic­Party that, for whatever reason (naivete or a convenient cover for their own corruption­), stubbornly clings to the 'bipartisa­nship model' ("Can't we all get along?") style of legislatin­g and governing that hasn't worked for decades.  I don't know how many ways Republican­s can say "Go frick yourselves­" before Obama and Democrats play to win -- Probably as long as there are people like you who give Obama and Democrats a pass.  

Obama's spin when trying to get Sotomayor confirmed (a lackluster intellect if ever there was one) was that she'd be effective at countering the conservati­ves arguments when it came to trying to pull Kennedy over.  It hasn't happened; Roberts, Alito, are Scalia wield far greater political warfare skills.  

And when RuthBaderG­insburg considers 'Nino' (Scalia) to be her closest friend, vacationin­g with him off the Court, it's Democrats who need to wake up to the fact that we're in a war with the right and no amount of turning the other cheek is going to stop the rightwing.
