Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President has nothing on his public schedule.

The Senate is convening to pass a bill that provides funding for border security. Apparently, Senators Schumer and McCaskill, who sponsored the measure, are letting Gov. Jan Brewer determine U.S. policy these days. They bought into the border security BS.

There will be big news from Judge Walker today. He's going to issue decision on whether to end the stay of his Prop. 8 decision between 9 a.m. and 12 noon Pacific time (noon and 3 PM on the East Coast). If the stay is ended, marriages can begin in CA again -- at least until the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issues its own stay, which could happen pending an appeal.

We're getting a really intense early morning thunderstorm here in DC. So, no dog walking for awhile. It actually looks dangerous out there.
