Marc Ambinder says “Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) plans to announce his retirement today.” Just as well. But I do hope that his decision wasn’t based mostly on the death threats he’s been getting. I hate it when bullies win.

Justice Stevens has just announced too. Not a slow-news Friday, apparently.

It was. They did. Expect them to be emboldened from here on out. I’m sorry that law enforcement is going to be stretched a bit thinner, but I’ll go out on a limb (not!) and predict more arrests for threatening lawmakers in the near future.
I don’t think Bart could get even Democrats to vote for him after his little health care stunt. I know if he had been in my state, I would have worked hard to primary the patriarchial jerk.
