Considering President Obama's anger over this ruling, I think law blogger Ann Althouse (who voted for Obama) has a good point...

"The President was a law professor — technically, a "senior lecturer" at the University of Chicago Law School — for 12 years.

"Just hours after Jon Stewart’s sharply observant takedown of Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment segments, the Countdown host launched into a diatribe that made Stewart’s segment look like a love letter. In railing against yesterday’s hotly debated Supreme Court decision, he effectively said it was worse than slavery, and compared Floyd Abrams, who is Jewish, to a Nazi.

Is Keith losing it?"

Who said that ? Rush ? O'Reilly ? Nope, the quote is from lefty blogger Tommy Christopher. Even the Left is becoming uncomfortable with Olbermann's increasingly vile comments.
