Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.
The willow is too close to the house.
There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.
A fool as well as an oath-breaker.
Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.
People are weird.
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.
Books are my comfort food!
Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!
Stay strong, because they are weak.
Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.
The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.
“I was told there would be no fact checking.”
New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.
Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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?

Things must be slow in the Blogosphere.
Who really gives a fuck????

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.
