I won't gloat, but I am pleased that

the Republicans have basically conceded the next 20 years on the Supreme Court to progressives. I suspect that Clinton will be a two term president, so there will be 4 to 6 positions on the court to fill. This was my greatest concern heading into this election. This will allow Clinton I judges to retire and force some of Bush appointments into retirement. Its the best news for our country!

I must confess I was shocked and did a little happy dance at the death of Scalia. I am not proud of myself and I did say a little prayer asking the Lord to forgive me.
