From Sotomayor to my forehead scar

Today feels like just another Tuesday, but in fact it is very different. As I flip through the television channels in the hopes of finding something mindless that will allow me to get work done, while breaking the silence. I came across countless stations that have Supreme Court hopeful Sonia Sotomayor in front of a panel of respected Senators who are grilling her on everything from her current political beliefs to statements she said years ago. All of this in the hopes that they will find someone neutral enough to please both parties for the time when she possibly serves as a supreme court justice, when it would be her responsibility to interpret the law, and not make the laws.....Does anyone see a problem with this? I mean it's all strongly politically routed, and then when all is said and done--Neutrality? I've always been one who has had questions for the framers and the Supreme Court has to do with maybe a third of them. (thought bubble) On a more exciting note, I am going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter, which will be amazing, I have no doubt. It's the sixth movie, and I feel like the characters have grown up with me. Something that future generations won't get to experience unless they're really slow readers. I've been debating just how dumb I look as a 20 year old with a black scar painted on my forehead, but then again be it youthful indiscretion, or just the actions of a devote fan. I know the movie will be amazing and I can't wait!
