Good morning . . .
The report released on Rathergate has produced a flurry of activity and, for the most part, a lack of serious analysis by the media. As I scanned the dial last evening, only Fox News did any serious reporting and concluded that the Panel wrongly concluded that there was no political bias. There will be more on Rathergate in a special report later today.
There was plenty of activity at the Supreme Court yesterday. With an agenda that includes several hot issues, the Court has decided not to hear several controversial issues that will more than likely appear on the Court's doorstep later.
Among cases the Court declined to review is an appeal of the conviction of former US Rep. James Trafficant, and the ban on gay adoption in Florida.
In the latter case, a gay advocacy group, Lambda Legal said that the case "deserves to be heard." The 1977 which is the first state law to ban gay adoption says in part, "No person eligible to adopt under this statute may adopt if that person is a homosexual."
