On to the Supreme Court. Or just repeal the darn thing and get it over with.
P.S. – for all my lawyer-geek readers, here’s the full opinion. (h/t National Review).

NEWS FLASH: Missing Blogger May Have Been Abducted by Aliens
Head Muscle Press 26 January 2011: For almost six weeks now missing blogger Marque, owner and editor of the world renowned Marque’s Letters Blog has vanished without a trace. Attempts across the blogoshpere to locate him have as of this moment been unsuccessful, but loyal patrons of the ML site are refusing to give up the hunt. After spending weeks crawling throught the woods with bloodhounds, and searching the world’s seediest of bars, some seekers have decided that he is simply no longer on the planet.
“We are beginning to believe that Marque may have been abducted by a hyper-intelligent alien race,” one of the search party leaders (we will call Chuck) explained to HM Press.
“On the evening after his last blog post, 14 Dec, rumor is that strange lights appeared over Marques’ heretofore secret blogging layer,” Chuck explained. “I believe that these lights were alien spacecraft, and that Marque is being held hostage somewhere deep in the galaxy against his will.”
Though largely unsubstantiated by any facts, Chuck’s theory has gained popularity as of late.
Another ardent fan, Maine, suggested that Marque’s abductors were an ancient race of interplanetary bloggers with huge amounts of bandwidth, but little interesting to say. “These alien bloggers actually consume intelligent opinion like we consume…well…Kentucky Fried Chicken,” Maine noted. “Over thousands of years of voracious blogging, they have decimated their blogosphere like locusts in a wheat field. It became kind of an informational ‘dustbowl’ if you will.”
As the theory goes, Marque has been abducted to provied a new and fresh commentary on issues of the day to these ravenous aliens, and is currently being held hostage somewhere around NGC 117, about 21 light years from earth.
“We are desparately trying to find a way to hack into their Internet and get a message to Marque,” Chuck explained. “The problem is we need a piece of CAT-5 wire that is 1,000,000,000,000 miles long, and 2,546,769 in line signal amplifiers to get there.”
Maine, the eternal optimist, noted that if the worst case happens and Marque is not located, we should be able to read his next post over Wifi in about 20 years and 10 months.
Let us all hope however, that he finds his way back home sooner, as his absence has created a giant vaccuum in our earthly blogosphere that could well turn into a black hole and consume our galaxy. Until that happens however, bloggers around the world will continue to sit uneasily at their keyboards wondering if they will be next. God help us all.
