TODAY'S "TO DO" LIST

Just drove in from a wonderful weekend just outside DC visiting Anita and her wonderful family.

Here is your to do list for today:

• Read two new papers on Florida's 2000 election fiasco (and brainstorm on how you're going to convert your sentiments into productive political action). Links at Rick Hasen's Election Law Blog.


• Dig out your old copy of Green, turn up the volume and remind yourself of how nice life can be. This gets my vote as best road trip music for the summer.


• Don't bother listening to conservative talk radio today. In case you hadn't noticed, it's basically just bash Hillary day today anyway, so unless you want to hear grown men (and some women, too) engage in the dubious pleasure of wallowing in vague sentiments of anger and frustration, put on NPR instead. (And MAN! eastern Pennsylvania is a news radio wasteland! Everyone's either trying to enrage you or save you, sometimes in the same segment!)[MORE: As you'd expect, perhaps, the online world has followed suit, much to Josh Chafetz's chagrin. Get it out of your system now, folks, so that when Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008, you'll have already cashed in all your anger credits.]


• If you've missed it, listen to this story from Here and Now and remind yourself of how nice life can be sometimes.


• Bookmark Lawrence Solum's discussions on stare decisis and take a bite out of them.


• Read David Cole's commentary on Ashcroft's testimony last week, through the link at Talk Left.

Definitely enough after a seven hour drive.
