SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

So it is legal to discriminate due to *reasons* now?

Edit: And so they did. Student loan forgiveness is d-e-d, dead.

Hello recession!

October is going to be fun, heading right into the heart of holiday shopping season.

Can't wait for the NYTimes headline of "Why are Student Debt Ridden Millenials Killing the Holiday Shopping Season?"

SCOTUS rules 6-3 in favor of the right to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Shooting down student loan forgiveness is next. My guess is they’ll throw out the case for lack of standing that involves the two student loan borrowers, but rule 6-3 for the loan service providers.

Today, I remind myself that I've had Crunchwraps more Supreme than this court.

The Federalist Society churns out nominees who would not make the cut to judge the Westminster Dog Show.

What in the ****? How do you pretzel yourself into that absurd theory?

Is it true that military academies are not included in striking down AA??

A landmark Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action in university admissions contained an exception for the U.S. military's service academies that has exposed a division within the court over the role diversity should play in national security.

They've just about erased LBJ from the history books. Said goodbye to voting a few years ago, and now here comes affirmative action.

Great plan.

The Trademark one reads somewhat as though Sotomayor initially had the majority opinion, but lost Jackson to Alito. Not as obvious as some prior instances of losing opinions, but possible.

So tomorrow we'll get student loans and the anti discrimination law cases.

Interesting. Curious who is going to get those cases. Gorsuch hasn't written in December but has six opinions already. February is a complete crapshoot since only three justices have written. Alito is the most likely to get at least one of the February cases, if not both. Today's confusion over whether Sotomayor or Alito had the trademark case might explain her lower opinion count.

Affirmative. Action - 6-3 by Roberts - affirm action violates the 14th amendment.

Ef. You.

I can't wait for them to rule that Child Labor Laws violate the Constitution.

No Republican should ever be elected to any office in this nation again.

I assumed affirmative action was dying this week
