After which, I plan to sue the range for allowing me  to fire in a dangerous environment that, in addition to allowing guns,  gets too loud and too full of lead.  And that makes me feel a bit cramped when I choose to try a 360-degree spinning shot from an automated wheelchair. Ain’t America great?    

Sure, it’s no Scooter Libby having the temerity to remember differently than Tim Russert.  But still.

I’m not going to critique the whole thing — you’re free to do so, just as you’re free to agree with the arguments on offer — though I will  say generally that what I want in a SCOTUS Justice is not a new Daddy or Mommy.  I don’t need life lessons.  I don’t want someone who crusades for “social justice.” I don’t need tough love.  I don’t need — and
