Women’s control over their bodies is over this fall…

Well…now we are sure that both Kavanaugh and Barrett lied their asses off when they both said that Roe v. Wade was settled law and that they didn’t see any reason to take any more cases that deal with a women’s right to choose…both of them just signed on to take up a case on abortion from Mississippi that was designed to get to the supreme court and take women’s rights back 60 years….and it will be decided this fall and you can bet with the 6-3 right wing majority that is the court now, that will mean that any restriction that any state wants to make on abortion will be just dandy with the SC…it isn’t even enough that there is only one clinic in Mississippi that performs abortions, these repub assholes won’t be happy until they make sure that women don’t have any rights at all…after all, their bible says they don’t and that is what they use to legislate in that backwater….this is just more of the same bullshit taking of rights that is the only reason for the repubs to exist anymore…just to hate and make sure that they crap on people they don’t like…I hate these people…

Don’t think John Roberts has suddenly turned liberal…

Well…with today’s ruling handed down from the SC saying that a Mississippi law that requires that doctors providing abortion services must have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic is unconstitutional, the breathless pundit class is falling all over themselves to try to brand Roberts as a closet liberal who will continue to protect a woman’s right to choose…don’t believe a damn word of it…while Roberts sided with the more progressive justices in this case, his reasoning was that they had already decided this issue in an almost exact case from Texas a couple of years ago and he went out of his way to telegraph how a case needed to be brought that would pass muster and put an end to Roe v. Wade. With Kavanaugh’s vote and dissent in this case, it is clear that he lied to Susan Collins when he said that he would follow precedent in every case and it was important to the integrity of the court to do so…he was just waiting for the opportunity to set women back 50 years and his dissent and that of  Clarence Thomas showed that they are chagrined to say the least that Roberts didn’t help them kill Roe. So, let’s not praise Roberts too much for following the constitution, that is his job after all and he should do it in every damn case as they all should…but, I guess we’ll have to take our wins where we can get them for now…

An epic smackdown for hate….

Well…I was really pleasantly surprised yesterday with a federal court ruling that was an epic smackdown of hate legislation enacted in Mississippi that would have allowed discrimination against the LGBT community by idiots that would only have to shout “religion” and then be able to fire people for being gay, or refuse them housing, or doctors could refuse to treat gay people…you get the drift. In handing down the ruling, this judge did what I have  advocating for quite some time now…that the 14 amendment’s equal protection clause be used to attack this discrimination since they all create classes of people who have less rights than everyone else…and this judge threw in the establishment clause from the first amendment for good measure since the idiots that passed this law openly said it was based on religious beliefs and that is directly forbidden by the first amendment. It has been a pretty good week for we progressives who believe in an equal society…and with the appointment that Hillary will make to the supreme court….it is only going to get better…I can see the smoke coming out of the the ears of conservatives…and I just fricking love it….

And to hate….

Well…just when you thought that the repubs couldn’t get any worse or hate any more, here comes Mississippi with a hate filled anti LGBT bill that is such a piece of crap and is so unconstitutional that there must be lead in water down there….this bill will allow anyone to discriminate against anyone just as long as it is a”strongly held religious belief”…this one will allow gay folks to be evicted from their housing, fired from their jobs and even goes farther to allow discrimination against anyone that doesn’t believe as these haters believe…unmarried and living together? Yep, you can be evicted from your housing and fired from you job….a woman wearing pants? Yep, employers that claim the religious crap exemption can now force women to wear skirts and I guess for men to wear beards or they can be fired…. a gay person in an emergency room? This bill allows the doctors and nurses to refuse treatment for religious grounds. There is just one thing I want everyone to remember, whenever there is hate in this country, it comes from the repubs…and whenever rights are taken away, it is the repubs that are behind it…come on ACLU…this one is ripe for a lawsuit today…get on it….geez…

Still no politics…

Well…I have been waiting for the congress to get back into session to give me some topics to write about but nothing yet…there is an interesting primary fight still going on in Mississippi for the repub senate nomination…the establishment repub won but the tea party candidate is screaming voter fraud since a bunch of black people crossed over and voted for the least crazy  candidate….not the tea partier…in an open primary where this is permitted…but, the sore losers that they are, the tea partier just can’t believe he lost so the lawsuits are flying…but the whole thing is just a grift to get the rubes to give up more money so McDaniel can pay himself back for the loan he gave his campaign….after all, if you are a repub the profit motive is your god and you need to make a profit off everything….oh, I guess this one is about politics…so, change the title to some politics….
