To be fair, Pax, it was pretty awkward when Obama called out the Supreme Court. Otherwise, it was a great speech.
Yeah... Yo friend, we don't all share the same political views.
Much as I like how we all get along in here, despite differing viewpoints, I think bringing pure party politics into it is not a great idea.

Oh yea I just thought it was interesting that Alito actually reacted, you dont see that often, the rest of them were statues.
I think this video is quite fascinating actually.
I've watched it a few dozen times now. Some interesting editing and other things.
Note how the camera pans to the justices before Obama finishes talking and before he says "supreme court" or "seperation of powers". The camera then cuts to a close up on the justices to catch Alito's reaction. This camera motion and cut all happens before Alito does anything to attract attention as far as I can tell.
Is it typical for the TV broadcaster to know what the President is going to say before he says it? Because I am not sure how they knew where to point the camera here before the president even makes it clear what it is that he's talking about. Or was this video just crudely edited after the fact to make the reaction stand out?
Things that make me say "hmm". Watch it again and tell me what you think.

I see what you mean yes, interesting. I know they do hand out transcripts of the speech to the media and others 30 mins before he gives it.
From a book I am reading right now...
"At the most basic level, a linkage or relationship establishes a tie between two actors. The tie is inherently a property of the pair and therefore not thought of as pertaining simply to an individual actor. Many kinds of network analysis are concerned with understanding ties among pairs. All of these approaches take the dyad as the unit of analysis. A dyad consists of a pair of actors and the (possible) tie(s) between them."

But you reject structuralist semiotics?
We get so much snow in Maine, that we call the days kids go to school "Sun Days"!
