God and Country
W
hen the results from Tuesday's election are in (and the lawsuits ended), who will be the ones echoing that most reverent agnostic, Justice Felix Frankfurter, who on hearing of Chief Justice Fred Vinson's death is reported told his law clerks: "[that is] the first indication that I have ever had that there is a God."
Will it be Democrats? Republicans? Liberals? Conservatives? Evangelicals? Moderates? Independents?
Who among us will thank the Almighty for what happens? Will anyone be satisfied that "it's God's plan"?
And who among us will say, "God sure has a funny sense of humor."
My bet is this. If Ken Blackwell wins the governor's race in Ohio, then it's pretty likely the GOP will keep the House and Senate. And the subject won't be God's sense of humor.
