Voting On RobertsI addition to the liberal newspapers Ken Blanchard mentioned, add the LA Times as endorsing john Roberts for Chief Justice.

Constitution DayOutcome of Vote Still Pending
There's been a fair amount of coverage of this, but the Chief's impression is that it isn't a very high level on the American interest meter.
Daily Demarche comments on this, with some reflections that seem to parallel the above. Since he is from the diplo-world, the Chief thinks that thee is some credibility there. He makes about as much sense out of the situation over there as anyone else could, with some suitable pithy comments comparing the situation to Florida in 2000.
It would be nice to see Schoder lose - but if not, things won't get any worse than they already are. Deutschland uber alles? Nein!
RedState put it best: Today is Constitution Day, when we celebrate the 218th anniversary of that wonderful and near-perfect document.

State, mine officials sign Homestake pact
Plans are moving ahead for conversion of the Homestake mine in the SD Black Hills to an underground laboratory. The mine is one of two sites being considered by the National Science Foundation for setting up a deep underground research lab. For the Homestate, this would be at around 7400 feet below ground. The mine is 8000 feet deep.
While the NSF plans are still pending, SD Gov. Mike Rounds is pursuing plans for a state-financed lab to be started sooner at the 4800 foot level. In addition to being a research asset in its own right, this would also give Homestake a leg up in the NSF selection process.
The agreement with the mining company opens the way for the state to complete financing and to start to implement plans for the intermediate level lab.
A good move for the state.
