Tiedrich rant: the Supreme Court is making shit up again

this fucking Supreme Court is making my head explode — again. remember last July, when some piece of shit homophobe was so freaked out over the idea that someone might ask her to design a gay wedding web site, that she made up an entire bullshit story about how that had actually happened to her, and took it all the way to the Supreme Court?

it would have taken a legitimate Court all of ten minutes to discover that this woman’s story was a complete fiction, and then laugh her the fuck out of court. which is in fact what all the lower courts had done previously with the case.

but no — this Supreme Court swallowed the story hook, line and sinker. because they wanted to believe her tale of oppression at the hands of the wicked gay agenda was true. they ruled in her favor — because fuck you, gay people, that’s why.

well, they’re doing it again. today, the Court is hearing oral arguments in the case of Moore v. United States. basically a couple of rich fucks are trying weasel out of paying a wealth tax, and their argument is that taxes are bullshit and taxes on rich people are even bigger bullshit.

This is actually a GREAT READ and I have tons of respect for Tiedrich's distillation of the issue. He quotes Lisa Needham of Public Notice (here's the link: https://www.publicnotice.co/p/moore-v-us-brief-charles-kathleen-kisankraft) and I just learned a lot about Moore's wealth tax controversy.

Despite Tiedrich's frequent F-bombs and language-we-would-never-use-in-front-of-Mom, Jeff is often clever and funny as he explains his intense dislike of all things Repuke. I recommend clicking on the link for the rest of today's rant.

1. The SCOTUS is really losing its legitamacy

Crap like this really proves that it's a political tool of the right wing these days, not a fair and balanced judicial institution....

2. I heard they weren't buying this. Let's hope that is the case.

3. Let's add four more seats to this rotting shit show of a court.

And get some more liberals on the court while we still have the Senate.
