I Don’t Want To Deal With It
I’m concentrating on the weather and the World Cup because the weather affects me and the World Cup is more calming than watching the Catholic majority on the Supreme Court impose Canon Law on the formerly non-religious United States. They made it clear they were political in Bush v. Gore, corporate tools in multiple cases, and now they are imposing the laws created by a group of male dementia patients in silk dresses on the people of the United States.
Part of the training for interrogators/interviewers in both the military and law enforcement is recognizing when people are being evasive when they answer questions. Watching Supreme Court nominees testify is a good training tool. I knew the suckers were lying like hell, but Senators don’t really have the training to question people and get the truth. When you put religious whackoes on the bench, you are going to get religious whacko decisions.
The ‘Synod’ of Catholic Justices don’t believe that women really have rights, so it doesn’t bother them when decisions chip away at the rights the Constitution and laws give them.
The Supreme Court of the United States has no credibility with me, or many other US citizens. We don’t believe we will receive ‘equal justice under law’ in the overtly political, corporate, religious court.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said more or less the same thing in her scathing dissent, as well as listing all the legal points that made this sorry decision truly crack-brained.
An old friend of mine, an attorney working in a federal office, left a comment at my place today proclaiming this “a sad day for our country.” I can tell you this: if she’s worried, I’m worried.
This is such blatant pandering to a specific doctrine of a specific religion that it flies in the face of the First Amendment, and moves to establishing a favored state religion. It is the kind of decision you expect from the courts of Iran, the Taliban, or Saudi Arabia. It is unAmerican.
I saw this on John Oliver’s show Sun. It should be unbelievable, but it’s the usual offenders, so it isn’t. It is criminally insane IMHO however.
OT: I was going back through your posts to see what I missed while ill the past month or so. Came across this one where I’d missed you comment that the image I posted was missing.

Here’s a link to the image (it still amuses the hell out of me! The kid deserved an A+, he’s clearly smarter than the teacher)! LOL

Ah well… 😉 🙂
They are religious whackoes, so it was a foregone conclusion that they would run the law through another dimension to get the result that conformed to their ideology and to hell with the rights of anyone who didn’t accept it. It is the Terry Pratchett quote on my sidebar being clearly demonstrated in the Supreme Court of the US.
OT: I still can’t see it. I get redirected to a blank page: “http://themetapicture.com/media/picture.jpe”.
Yeah. And they only need one more to give the nutjobs everything they want every time. Those same wacko *Justices* always side with the NRA too. Even when someone get’s killed.
Hmm! Works for me. I’ll stick it on my Mediafire acc’t. That works. 🙂
Student Bogus Essay and Grade Photo
(You can zoom the image etc. if you want to actually read what the student wrote! It’s worth reading.) 😉 LOL
Here is the first sane editorial piece I’ve read so for (though in fairness, I’ve not read a lot out of disgust at the sheer insanity of it). On Medium:
Five Reasons That Hobby Lobby Decision Is Bananas (Not including the five dudes who voted for it!)
It’s an eye opening piece. And I believe, accurate. It’s truly insane!
The student is totally wrong – Sprite is a chemical soup while Sierra Mist uses natural flavors and real sugar, not chemical esters and high fructose corn syrup. 😉
WalMart is now majority owned by the Walton family again after a recent stock buy back, and thus qualifies for this exemption. What these corporations may be unaware of is that pregnancy coverage from a health insurance provider is more expensive if contraceptive coverage is not included. Insurance companies know that pregnancy is more expensive than contraception and price their product accordingly.
