We can risk a vote for the third party of our choice when the Supreme Court is not apt to have and vacancies for the following four years. If that were the case this year, I, too, might vote for Nader and the Greens. But it most definitely is NOT the case this year.

Shucks, I worked for Henry Wallace and the Progressive Party in 1948, although I wasn't quite old enough to vote for him. If the Republican candidate hadn't been so unappealing, the votes for the Progressive Party and the Dixiecrats might have taken the election away from Harry Truman and given us Dewey. Heaven Forbid!

As for this year's threat to the Supreme Court, I suppose you all heard that George Bush thought Roe versus Wade was a decision Washington had to make when he planned to cross the Delaware and attack Trenton.
