Almost an Aimee Mann song.

She said the RULING was an existential threat to law, not the Supreme Court.
When you put quotation marks around something, that's supposed to be an exact quotation.

Read it as many times as you like -- that's not a quotation from her.

So... knocking on the door was never a consideration?

So much of the damage done by the Roberts court is easily solvable with legislation. And balls. Mostly balls.

I need to spend more time in the Shivering Isles, but probably Balatro. It's always Balatro.

It's basically a mission statement for the show. The idea that it was filler and could have been left out is incredible to me.

Wait -- ABC News just fired someone for taking a side. Are we okay with journalists taking the other side?

Oh, sure. But these guys recreate the Battle of Britain or The Alamo and you don't bat an eye.

Decades ago, there was an elementary school book that was banned in Tennessee because it showed a boy making toast, which is obviously a woman's job.
That's the world we're headed back to.

Class action suits will be an easy way to get around this ruling.

The one I mentioned is, which makes it relevant.
I will happily give up Minnesota tax incentives for films in exchange for the elimination of Minnesota tax incentives for sports.

Then I guess Toronto residents can be pissed off about it. But no, I'm not.

Weren't Thomas and Alito on the other side of federal court injunctions when Mifepristone was the topic?

I don't begrudge anyone who engages with sportsball. Some of my best friends are sportsball fans. It's my taxes that subsidize millionaires and billionaires that I take issue with. I'm not asking any Twins fan to help pay for another season of Star Trek.

Tilson got .8%. Not 8%, .8%. We can't criticize the president of the United States because a Democrat who got .8% of the vote for NY mayor did something racist?
Congratulations on figuring out that the Times is part of the problem, though -- that's progress.

Merely talking about left-wing policies for 30+ years doesn't confer an automatic win in the primaries.

Technically they said that patients can't pick a provider that the state doesn't want to pay. Blue states should immediately defund all crisis pregnancy centers.

Spaghetti and meatballs is a great example of this. Italian immigrants to the U.S. were shocked by how cheap and plentiful meat was here, and started adding it to their traditional recipes.
Then you have chicken tika masala, which is technically Scottish food.

It's a plainly ridiculous ruling, and blue states need to maliciously comply by banning Medicaid dollars for crisis pregnancy centers.

We have municipal liquor stores in Minnesota. Besides the fact that a municipal grocery store would be useful to more people, what's the difference?

We don't need our universities to teach astrology or phrenology just because those ideas exists.

And they will, right up until their ox is gored. Look at the very first person they interviewed.
