The Supreme Court rulings we’ve been anxiously waiting for finally dropped. And of course, liberal heads are a popping. What a wonderful way to celebrate the extended Independence Day weekend.
First, we had the ruling on the racist policy of Affirmative Action, more specific in this case to the racist policy of race based admission to college finally getting its well deserved kick in the groin. Next, the SCOTUS handed business owners a ruling that affirmed their right to refuse service for same sex “whatever+” based on their religious beliefs.
Then, the pièce de résistance - the SCOTUS ruled to throw out Joe Bribem’s laughable usurp of Congressional power to universally discharge $400 billion in student loans. The college kids finally got a real education: that there’s this thing called the U.S. Constitution, and it provides a checks and balances approach to governance, which specifies who has the power to do certain things within the federal government. They now also understand that no, nothing in life is free, and you pay back what you agree to borrow, even if it turns out to be a worthless purchase.
Finally. the kids also now realize that they were scammed, by a corrupt, demented zombie, who knew full well what he promised them was illegal. That really had to hurt. But hey kids, it might well be the best lesson you ever learn, and that lesson cost you nothing.
So this was all great news. Unfortunately, there was also some bad news. Each of these rulings were 6-3 decisions, with Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissenting on all of them. Ok, not a huge surprise there, as each are proud graduates of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Law School”. However, their dissenting opinions actually illustrate the problem with hiring based solely on race, sex, or political leanings, rather than a sound understanding of law, and its relation to the U.S. Constitution.
Those three stooges took turns writing the dissent in each case, which were summarily and rightfully ripped apart, with cogent, constitutionally based arguments by the other justices. Granted these rebuttals weren’t hard. Virtually all three of these cases could have been heard and ruled the same way by a group of 9 high school students… providing those students graduated back in the day when high schools were teaching them about U.S. history and our nation’s Constitution.
Perhaps the best rebuttal was delivered by Justice Clarence Thomas, in reference to Justice Ketanji Jackson’s dissent. It was epic:
“Accordingly, JUSTICE JACKSON’s race-infused world view falls flat at each step. Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments,” Thomas wrote. “What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everything—good or bad—that happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals’ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism.”
Cue the drum roll….
“JUSTICE JACKSON then builds from her faulty premise to call for action, arguing that courts should defer to ‘experts’ and allow institutions to discriminate on the basis of race,” Thomas continued. “Make no mistake: Her dissent is not a vanguard of the innocent and helpless. It is instead a call to empower privileged elites, who will ‘tell us [what] is required to level the playing field’ among castes and classifications that they alone can divine. […] Then, after siloing us all into racial castes and pitting those castes against each other, the dissent somehow believes that we will be able—at some undefined point—to “march forward together” into some utopian vision.”
Ka-boom! What a brilliant takedown of that lightweight, as only the inimitable Clarence Thomas could do. May God Bless and watch over this man.
A National Treasure
Let the Wailing Begin
Within minutes of each release, the usual dim bulbs began screaming about work arounds. Harvard declared “diversity and difference are essential to academic excellence," and vowed to “preserve the university's essential values.” Values? That festering cesspool of intolerance tossed out any semblance of “values” years ago. I remember when talent and hard work were essential to academic excellence. Not at that place, apparently.
Of course Joey Two Scoops got into the mix stating the court’s ruling was unconstitutional. Like this dope, who graduated in the bottom 10% of his class knows anything about the Constitution. He’s been violating it from the time Dr. Jill told him to raise his right hand to take the oath. Knowing his previous bribe (something he is an expert on) targeting the lemmings sitting in their Grievance Studies classes was totally illegal, he already had a back-up plan and 45 point type prompter speech at the ready: “The Supreme Court is wrong”, he said. “And I have a plan for a work around to fix this. Trunafrimphatrure!”
Under the new plan, Obama, sorry, I mean, Biden, will invoke the Higher Education Act, which he says will grant Education Secretary Miguel Cardona access to "compromise, waive or release loans under certain circumstances." So, another unelected, low-IQ, left wing buffoon has been directed to use whatever illegal tactics he can come up with to stick it to U.S. taxpayers, including those of us who paid off our student loans. Those “certain circumstances” will no doubt be tied to the students voter registrations, and will be unveiled sometime around mid-October, 2024. Let the lawsuits commence.
As would be expected, we also had the perennial victim class screeching and hollering about how the SCOTUS is illegitimate, racist, blah, blah, blah…
Notable race hustlers - Sharpton, AOC, Omar, Pressley, et al., burped out their tired, habitual assertions of discrimination and white supremacy and demanded that Biden simply ignore the SCOTUS and find other work arounds. The Constitution be damned! It was written by a bunch of old white guys anyway!
Perpetually oppressed and America hating Michelle Obama (Princeton and Yale graduate) and her oppressed family took time out from their oppressive life on Martha’s Vineyard to vacation in the Greek Isles with Tom Hanks and media mogul David Geffen. She somehow found the strength and time from her suffering to opine on Twitter that the future is now bleak (and no doubt oppressive) for minority students without the federal government interceding on their behalf.
Yet, when she and Barry launched their careers in public grifting, they were nothing short of boisterous about how they pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps to get where they are. That is until they realized there was a helluva lot more money to be made by race baiting and fomenting hate and resentment among Americans.
She posted her word salad while meandering through the Isles on Geffen’s yacht.
I’m sure the carbon footprint left in its wake was hardly noticed.
A Win for Freedom of Speech
Finally we can’t forget the SCOTUS ruling on the 2nd Amendment case involving a website designer in Colorado who declined a request to make a same-sex wedding site. I thought this had already been decided back in 2018 when a Colorado cake baker (Jack Philips) declined to make a cake for a gay couple, citing his religious beliefs. But the court at that time provided only a narrow victory based on the stasi manner in which the sate of Colorado treated Philips.
Justice Gorsuch gave this matter more clarity, writing for the majority that: “Colorado cannot force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance.” And he went on to say that the court’s decision would “provide similar protection to other business owners whose services involve speech, such as artists, speechwriters, and movie directors.” Hopefully, that will settle it. For now at least.
A Happy 4th of July
How ironic it is that these critical rulings came down 4 days before we celebrate our nation’s independence from a monarch’s tyranny. Yet, 246 years later we have wannabe dictators rising from the ashes all across our country, including the corrupted husk in the White House and his band of fascist despots, whose power would remain unchecked were it not for our nation’s highest court. So as we fire up the grills and toss back some cold beer (not Bud Light) tomorrow, let us give thanks for the Constitutionalists sitting on the SCOTUS. Without them, this country would be in far worse shape than anything King George III could have conjured up.
