After escaping the wilds of Waco, Texas and spending the next decade in NYC, she currently lives in upstate New York, where she misses being able to get decent pizza and Chinese takeout delivered to her house.

Time to give our angsts a shower.
plus that BS decision last year bringing down the voting rights act. SCOTUS is really on a roll lately.
SCOTUS has always been loathe to uphold buffer zones when it comes to freedom of speech. It’s really not a particularly surprising decision. Rather than focus on what the Court won’t do (and they won’t) we need to come up with better solutions to the problem. Do I know what those are? No. But I know that this one is probably never going to work out.
So I guess you didn’t hear about them ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby and killing public unions.
HOLY SHIT. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE HOBBY LOBBY DECISION. FUCKING…..ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????????????????????????
SINCE WHEN DO WE LET THE PRIVATELY HELD BELIEFS OF ONE PERSON VIOLATE THE PERSONAL RIGHTS OF OTHERS?????
FUCKING. THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY? HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY TIE WITH PRECEDENT???????
I need to go read this decision. Right. Fucking. Now.
I just made it through the synopsis. I’m seeing red. They went off the fucking rails. And it was written by Alito, so I just KNOW it’s going to piss me off. Alito is just Scalia without the slippery slope logic.
That’s more like it! :)
Sorry. I really hadn’t seen that those two had come down yet. And then I got on facebook, and went, oops!
Your shift from angry but still calm to COMPLETE ALL-CAPS RAGE is 100% on point.
Thank you, Liza. Sometimes I feel like my rage can be a mite too ragey.
Is that a thing?
