Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. it is not an award of any kind. either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. it is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the academy members and save face in front of the public. the academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.

While contemplating the bride, and eyeing the cake of soap, he muttered between his teeth: 'tuesday. it was not tuesday. was it tuesday? perhaps it was tuesday. yes, it was tuesday.' no one has ever discovered to what this monologue referred. yes, perchance, this monologue had some connection with the last occasion on which he had dined, three days before, for it was now friday.

The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
The supreme court is about the constitution. it is about constitutionality. it is about the law. at its bear simplest, it's about the law. it is not about the democrat party agenda. because that's what it's become. the whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the supreme court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. and if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the supreme court.
Party Warrior Justice
It is extraordinary that each of the three individuals this president [ george w. bush] has nominated for the supreme court - chief justice [john] roberts, harriet miers and now judge alito - has served not only as a lawyer for the executive branch, but has defended the most expansive view of presidential authority.

My feminist view - that gender is on a continuum and we are all better off dropping a lot of those binary notions - is one that is shared by the more recent generation of trans activists and theorists.

In a way, the world-view of the party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. they could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. by lack of understanding they remained sane. they simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.

...aesthetic values are changed under the influence of sexual emotion; from the lover's point of view many things are beautiful which are unbeautiful from the point of view of him who is not a lover, and the greater the degree to which the lover is swayed by his passion the greater the extent to which his normal aesthetic standard is liable to be modified.

I'm learning in my own sort of quiet, out-of-the-spotlight kind of way. i certainly have my general point of view about the government, and the future of our children. i'm certainly learning all the time, i'm happy to be an onlooker for now.
