The real election: Voting for the next Supreme Court justices: Holding one's nose is not nearly enough for a vote for Kerry. But I may have to get a hazmat suit and vote for him anyhow, and this is why. The issue is framed all the more clearly by the House's vote last week purporting to exempt DOMA from federal Constitutional review. A Bush-majority Court could well uphold such a provision, effectively abrogating the Constitution altogether.
