Not fiat, just a reminder of the law.
The Supreme Court building is the new Trump hotel. Everyone stops to flip it off.

not exactly - the ruling was that the IRS can release trump's tax forms to the House's ways & means cmte.  and thank goodness for that - if trump himself was responsible for handing over the paperwork, it would be the same ol' song and (not) dance…

trump also took a big fat L on his "arguments" in favor of the appointment of the special master over the docs seized at mar-a-lardo.  tough day for the cheeto mussolini…
I mean, wutthafuggahyagonnado?
Alito suggests that if the LGBT+ community wants equality — a Black Santa should be forced to take pictures with kids dressed in KKK robes.

YOWZA!
wow… just wow.

it's amazing how comfortable folks have become saying the quiet parts out loud.
so apparently a secretly-made documentary about Brett Kavanaugh was premiered at Sundance.  it dives into the sexual assault allegations against him, including stories that he & his friends drugged and gang-(assaulted) ladies in college.  also goes into how the Justice Dept. deferred to the White House's "suggestions" of what should, and shouldn't, have been investigated during his confirmation hearings.  sounds like this movie might kick up some dust…

Affirmative action in college admissions struck down by Supreme Court.

My wife and daughter just jumped for joy.
I hate selfishness…as a basis for what’s right and wrong

But I do think affirmative action in college admissions is dicey….I can’t and never have been able to stomach it much

There has to be a better way but of course many people who use their own personal interest as a basis for what’s right and wrong will oppose anything that benefits a group they are not part of…I can’t see people who oppose affirmative action supporting reparations! Or support devoting far more resources to school districts in poorer black areas than richer white areas…

Yet, a terrible wrong was (and in less dramatic fashion continues to be) done to a group of Americans. How can a very wealthy society not attempt to redress this?
