Here are some Haiku’s created to capture the essence of todays Scalito hearings. I was going to write a longer narrative about them and him, but I haven’t had a chance to watch any of it, and well, these are a nice way to open the dialogue.
You can find these here at hotlineblog, where they were created. I reprint them here to save on your clickage rates.
