I'd just like to point out...

XOM makes more in profit EVERY DAY than most families will earn over the course of ten generations. They now have unlimited influence. Have a nice day.

I really have to give Glenn Greenwald props for not taking the liberal line on this one; whatever I might think about his writing style, he always sticks by his principles, even if they result in outcomes that seem to be against his philosophy.

I have a lot of really strong feelings about this one, but Glenn's take on the matter seems more grounded than mine would, because he's a constitutional scholar and I'm not.

All I can say is that I have severe qualms about this decision, and I will probably have more to say on it in an entry later, once I'm less emotional about it.

Well, he even used the same word to describe his feelings as I did-- ambivalent. (Which, despite misuse and abuse, does not mean, "In the middle," but rather, "Attracted to both sides," or at least, "conflicted.")
