Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Come on, man.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The revolution will be supervised.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

    It’s funny that the only impression of the SCOTUS outside a couple of recent audio clips that I have come from “The People vs. Larry Flynt”, where Scalia had the most prominent role.

    I wonder if he was cracking jokes when he betrayed his own legal philosophy to ensure that Bush became POTUS.

    Hah hah.

    I love that Thomas rates a zero. I guess that’s what happens when you never ask questions at oral argument and simply cede your vote to Scalia each time.

    Liptak is kinda dense if he finds Roberts’ joke about Gibbons v. Ogden hard to comprehend. It’s pretty obvious.

    As it see it, nearly every Scalia argument is a knee-slapper. Or is that wrist-slapper?

    Scalia’s opinions, at least, can be hilarious. He’s definitely an insulting bastard, but he’s funny.

    Even on a post like this — about humor — a couple of Lefty commenters display their amazing lack of same.

    Sad, really, for a party that wants to reassume power.
