Fog & Scrambled Eggs (Updated)

It started out clear, with the full moon showing low above the western horizon. It's an unseasonably warm 19 degrees with a light frost. An hour later, it's already light as sunrise approaches, and there's a heavy fog. A little breakfast, and then off to the range. Since visibility is down to less than 100 feet, it's going to be pistol time - I wouldn't be able to see the rifle target, 100 yards away.

Update: the Wet Bunny range is socked in; it's on the waterfront, and the fog is as thick as peanut butter (thank you, Yukon Cornelius). No shooty fun today, dang it.

A word about the Supreme Court decision on corporate donations to political campaigns: despite the shrill screeching of the lefties & progressives, what actually happened is that the Court rightfully struck down an unconstitutional restriction on free speech. Scream all you want; it was the right thing to do.

And President Unicorn just publicly urged the Congress to pass another law which the Court already ruled is unconstitutional. Sorry, folks, but this guy is reputedly a "Constitutional scholar".
Somehow, I don't think that means what they think it means.

In the meantime, chew on this:

Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us all. – Justice William O. Douglas

I cannot assent to the view, if it be meant that the legislature may impair or abridge the rights of a free press and of free speech whenever it thinks that the public welfare requires that it be done. The public welfare cannot override constitutional privilege. – Justice John Marshall Harlan

Free speech is meaningless unless it tolerates the speech that we hate. – Henry J. Hyde, U.S. Congressman, Speech, 5/3/91
