Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Cheney Case

by | 7 Comments

This post is in: 

So what happens if (when, I predict), the Supreme Court rules that Cheney was right to assert executive privilege in the energy commission case?

Will the loudmouths using this as a bludgeon admit they were wrong, or will they simply resort to attacking the court and trying to make it seem like this was all about a golfing trip in which Cheney and Scalia never even saw each other?

If they rule against Cheney, I can tell you right now what my reaction will be. I will state I think they were wrong and move on with my life. If they rule for cheney, does anyone think that the reaction from the other side will be as measured?

    You’re right. If the Court didn’t want every single decision that it hands down with this Administration tarred with the same brush, it shouldn’t have made the least sensible ruling since the Dred Scott case.

    Ah, another round of the “Sore Loser Chorus.” I suppose it’s a good idea to get practice in before November.

    Yeah, M. Scott, but remember… we’re all supposed to be trembling in fear that come November, John F. Kerry will unleash the full power of the legal profession on us: the generous trial lawyers will “uncover” and “fight” against voting improprieties (against only the Republicans I’d presume).

    “Ah, another round of the “Sore Loser Chorus.””

    Yes, yes, any concern with the fundamental workings of democratic bodies is being a “sore loser.” We are aware of the conservative contempt for the very concept of representative democracy. Next.

    kimmit: don’t you have some kind of protest to attend? or social injustice to fight for? or a tax to find that hasn’t been raised enough?

    Lee, don’t you have some kind of gay person to hit? Or racist employer to benefit from? Or a level of government to find that isn’t bankrupting itself?
