The debate over the O'Brien vs. Markey race for the third GOP Supreme Court nomination has, for the most part, been respectful. Oh sure, there are the usual hysterics because 20 years ago someone bought a ticket to a colleague's fundraiser, but these are minor and safely ignored. I like to think of the pro-Markey crowd as best represented by Kevin Rex Heine, who at least does his homework. [Someday, I'd like to meet Kevin and shake his hand.] That doesn't mean I agree with him, however. In fact, the more I study Markey's decisions, the more uncomfortable I am with the thought of her on the high court.
