Agreed. That's pretty much all we CAN do right now, is wait and see. It just seems to me that there's a rather troubling amount of "wait and see" situations as of late. And I don't mean "wait and see" as in wait and see if our actions have had so and so an effect -- I mean "wait and see" as in wait and see what THEY do/decide. How come WE don't have more of a say in what transpires? We are
the people, right? Shouldn't we at least be entitled to have our input heard? It seems like every American in the country could be against this particular choice (or any other issue -- take your pick) right now, and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. This Miers woman could be the absolute worse choice possible, but we'd just have to sit back and let "Them" hash it out, apparently irregardless of what we think.
There's an awful lot of favoritism, cronieism, and mutual back-scratching going on between between the people who are supposed to represent us, and it's not like it's even happening behind our backs -- they're blatantly doing it out in the open! It's OUR tax dollars funding the war, OUR old-age/disability welfare in question, OUR children making their way through the school systems, and OUR lives being directly affected by the decisions handed down through the court system, starting with this -- the highest court of them all.
