The Supreme Court is doing all kinds of stuff today, we see. Anyway, by a 5-4 vote, the court has ruled that juveniles may not be locked up for life without chance of parole if they haven’t killed anyone. If you have killed someone, however, you’re out of luck, because the Court doesn’t see any [...]

Indefinite Prison Terms For Sex Offenders
Posted in Lawmaking, Prisons, The End of the World, tagged prison terms, sex offenders, the supreme court, uhhh? on 05/17/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today, the Supreme Court ruled that inmates considered “sexually dangerous” can be detained indefinitely after their prison terms are complete. So now Congress deciding on the (indefinite) detainment of sexual offenders is totally legalized. Yeah, that’s not beyond its current powers at all. Justices Thomas and Scalia were the only dissenting, reasonable humans, noting that [...]

UHHH? “The high court’s 8-1 ruling was a victory for free-speech advocates and a defeat for the federal government and for groups like the Humane Society of the United States. Congress adopted the law in 1999 in an attempt to stop people from profiting by the interstate sale of depictions of torture and killing of [...]

THIS SHOULD WORK OUT PRETTY GOOD: Just this morning, the Supreme Court overturned a 20-year-old ruling that prohibited corporations from using their profligate profits to support candidates and pay for campaign ads, officially declaring consumerism and capitalism the law of the land. And because the American political consciousness/system isn’t already trivial and subjective enough, now [...]
Antonin Scalia Thinks Christian Crosses Are For Everybody

So there’s some shabby 5-foot tall World War I memorial cross located on government land in Somewhere, U.S.A The Mojave National Preserve, and apparently it is pissing off some non-Christians who are extraordinarily fucking bored. Their issue is whether this memorial violates the Establishment Clause in the Constitution, and well, it probably does. But! So [...]

Well.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) does not like Sonia Sotomayor because she is a “wise”, sassy Latina who speaks Mexican. He feels she is “unsuitable for the bench” because of a past affiliation with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF). Furthermore, his feeling is that all Puerto Ricans have the same opinion about [...]

• Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a person known to not be an old white guy (not cool, Sonia), goes through her second day of questioning at her Senate confirmation hearing today. Ancient and atavistic Republicans will be annoying to her, but she’ll likely be confirmed soon the end. But just look at this picture [...]

G. GORDON LIDDY THINKS SO! Oh what’s this now? Yes yes. Convicted felon and conservative radio show host G. Gordon Liddy was not very happy with this Sonia Sotomayor chick last Friday. Mostly because she was born in a foreign country (The Bronx), and is a woman. I mean, what’s her fucking problem anyway, not [...]

SHE’S BASICALLY JUST LIKE JUSTICE SCALIA, EXCEPT HE HAS A BIGGER RACK: Your President Barry has nominated that sassy New Yorker Latina judge lady Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court. Huzzah!

Justice may be blind, but that does not mean that it cannot discriminate against weight. Or medical conditions… Or suit colors. This is still America, after all. As the search for a female judge to replace David Souter’s seat in the Supreme Court heats up, some of this country’s deeply embedded misogyny comes to the [...]
Illegal Search and Seizure To Remain Illegal

In a decision reached yesterday, the Supreme Court limited the power of police to search a suspect’s car after making an arrest. Apparently, this is unconstitutional and has been repeatedly abused by the police. I wonder if y’all are as surprised as I am. Anywho, police many now search a vehicle without a warrant only [...]
