Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President has a light schedule today. He's going to sign the Border Security Bill. I hope he invites Jan Brewer to the signing. And, McCain and Kyl, too. I'm sure they'll all be applauding the Democrats for taking this action and following the GOP's leadership. (Except, that didn't happen, of course.) I think the Democrats in DC should meet Kirsten Sinema, a state rep. from Arizona. Here's her take on Brewer.

Couple more big primaries ahead. On August 24, there are primaries in Arizona and Florida. In Arizona, that extremist right-wing ally of Jack Abramoff, J.D. Hayworth, is challenging McCain in the GOP Senate primary. So, if you've been wondering why McCain has become even more volatile and way more conservative, that's why.

I meant to give Swing State Project a shout out for getting me through the primaries on Tuesday night. The SSP crew really is amazing. If you want to stay on top of all things electoral this fall, bookmark the site, add them to your feeds and follow them on twitter.

Today, we expect a federal judge in Boise will rule on Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach's Temporary Restraining Order. If the Pentagon and Department of Justice actually think that DADT will be repealed, this should be a no-brainer. But, we've seen time and time again that the Obama administration continues to defend DADT even as it discharges servicemembers using that discriminatory policy. Actions here don't match the President's words or promises.

What else?
