Just wandering around….

Well…have been thinking about a political one to do today and really haven’t come up with anything…so I’m going to wander around a bit and just see what happens…it is a little heartening to see the progressives start to find their feet lately with getting the filibuster eliminated for judicial appointees which will give us the ability to appoint judges that will follow the law and not ideology…and that is one of the ironies that I see in the judiciary…the righties howl and howl about activist judges, but which ones are the most activist? It’s always the conservatives who don’t believe in the law or precedent…and to prove this, you only have to look as far as Citizens United where the conservatives on the court threw out a hundred years of precedent and made corporations equal to people….and they are poised to further extend this terrible precedent with a new case that will allow Scalia and the rest of the conservative thugs on the supreme court to say that corporations have religious rights, too…and that one will have to be pulled out of their asses since nothing like that appears anywhere in precedent or the constitution….and it will mean a huge increase in the power of the corporations since they will then be able to argue that they can do whatever they want to their employees…basically nullifying the last 100 years of labor law…so, progressives, we need to keep fighting to take back the court and our government from these folks, to make this country what it can and should be…where people count more than corporations and the law is the law…geez…okay…I didn’t wander as much as I expected…it’s funny sometimes how a topic will just write itself…
