Nov. 6th, 2003 04:50 pmI've been deracinated. My cube has an empty space where there used to be a wall. I'll probably be displaced tomorrow, too, if not into next week. Everything's covered in plastic. It's a bit eerie.
The day's almost over, thank goodness. After my 1.5 hour commute home (gotta love the bus system around these parts), I'll have just enough time to unwind before getting settled into the new episode of Survivor. In the words of Johnny Bravo, "Hoo ha!"

U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton of San Francisco ruled the law appears unconstitutional because it provides no exemptions for a woman's health. The basis for her ruling essentially mirrors the reasons cited by the other judges.
Hamilton called the new law "an undue burden on a woman's right to choose."
But Justice Department attorney Anthony Coppolino told Hamilton that "Congress' judgment should prevail" and that the law should not be stricken "because you disagree."
