Roberts STFU

Chief Justice Roberts is whining . He doesn't like the White House and many peons of Congress disagreeing with his activist court. I will echo DougJ, STFU . But here is what Roberts also did by expressing his "opinion" (which he already expressed through the majority opinion) he admitted he is a right wing hack. If I were a conservative trying to push a cause whether it be; abortion, gun rights (already cooking), gay marriage, entitlements and whatever the hell has been bothering me, I would bring it in front of this Supreme Court. The most ludicrous arguments have a chance. It is any wonder the right wing was inflamed by Sotomayor, they like their advantage. Glenn Greenwald : Supreme Court Justices, in particular, have awesome, unrestrained power. They are guaranteed life tenure, have no authorities who can sanction them except under the most extreme circumstances, and, with the mere sweep of a pen, can radically alter the lives of huge numbers of people or even transfo...

Special Comment by Keith Olbermann: Free Speech has been Destroyed

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy A little melodramatic as expected, but he says what most of us fear. Dahlia Lithwick at Slate : Even former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist once warned that treating corporate spending as the First Amendment equivalent of individual free speech is "to confuse metaphor with reality." Today that metaphor won a very real victory at the Supreme Court. And as a consequence some very real corporations are feeling very, very good. And that is a very, very bad thing for people.

Get Your Dunkin Monday

It was a wonderful weekend, where the lady and I got to experience some theatre, good Tex-Mex with some large margaritas, and Sunday football with friends. This coming weekend we will be heading to Champaign for some tailgating and Illini football. Well mostly tailgating. Above is the latest video from AFI, they don't even look the same anymore...or sound the same...guess they finally realized the Goth Punk look was ruined by Marlyn Manson, yet the music seems more solid than their last couple of endeavors have gone. We will see. Any other good videos out right now? Hit me up! Here are your highlights: It's on Ebay : Sarah Palin signed an XBox Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" a wakeup call for Americans Obama pushing the Public Option behind the scenes... Cutest site in the world? Supreme Court is coming into session with a big decision regarding GUNS PEW PEW The economy is still in trouble, but we would be in more trouble with Republicans behind th...

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

It's Tuesday, but feels like a Monday because of the Holiday. How did everyone's go? Hope it was fantastic. Mine included taking the lil boat out with the lady and cruisin' it was so Miami Vice. Last night her and I went to the Cubs game that was a hitfest/walkfest . WTF CUBS?! Can you get out of this funk already? Cool hats though. Also Chicago is becoming worse and worse of a city weather-wise, my patience is running thin...if only California wasn't imploding...oh well. Here are your highlights: But the president decided to start what may become a new tradition by sending a wreath to the African-American Civil War Memorial at Vermont Avenue and U Street Northwest in Washington- CNN Obama did the right thing yesterday . I am one of those who will rage on the South and their undying unapologetic love for the Confederacy, however soldiers who passed on deserve their remembrance. If they get a wreath though so should Americans who fought through much more dire and diffic...

Faux News, White Supremacist Court Justice

Image
Over at Fox Nation , a place where supposedly people "care" about America and people "decide." I found this tasty piece that sure riles up those non-existent rightwing extremists . Now if you look real close at the picture you will see clearly how well our Supreme Court resembles America according to Fox. So why not throw another old white guy in there? Obviously because President Obama is a racist bigot who comes from the North and hates America, is a socialist and thinks women actually make up 51% of the United States population. RAAAGGEGGEEEEE!!! Faux News, calls this fair and balanced, you are looking at the utmost imbalanced court everrrrr, WOMEN, ASIANS, LATINOS, RAAGGEE!!! If you would like to see what ridiculous looks like here are some of the witty responses: Anonymous Dave: UHHH..Because their White. White Males have been the new minority for quite some time Hugh from Florida: Because Michelle (you know, wide-glide) wants a Naturally Obnoxious Women to ru...

Next Supreme Court Justice: The List

Image
Now that Supreme Court Justice David Souter has announced his retirement, the speculation has begun on who will replace him . It so happens that Frank Chow has the inside scoop from the White House concerning Souter's replacement. Here is the early list. Judge Mills Lane . Yes it may sound far fetched, but you are talking about a Judge with ear-biting experience . Lane has an impeccable record dealing with a resume including feuding divorcees, trailer park disputes and whether rims belong to the pimp or the ho. He is a middle of the road no bull Judge who has close ties to the Administration. If you forgot Mills Lane was the referee in for the Obama vs. O'Reilly charity boxing match . Judge Dredd . He will quiet NRA and rightwing filibusters because Dredd digs guns, he is a hard ass and dates Diane Lane. However underneath the surface, Dredd is all about cleaning up the streets and civil rights. He has close ties to the LGBT community defending on more than one occasion Rob Sch...
