This statement doesn’t negate the impact of your vote, Justice Kennedy. It’s just your attempt to show that you’re not really siding with the crazies.

If Kennedy retires, I predict abortion rights and gay marriage both die within the next 5 years, and that the CRA, VRA and things like public accommodations precedent won’t be far behind. It’ll be his final parting shit he takes all over this country.

Just beat to shit emotionally

Need time to refocus on hope but it’s a continuing blitzkrieg of fascist bullshit.

Some return fire by our side is badly needed to bolster the troops.

Oh yeah, a good tut-tutting always stops vicious fascists in their tracks.

Everyone get a grip. This is not over. Don’t let any of this break you down. If we break down, we all lose.
Michael Avenatti is not going to back off or back down and neither will I. He is my inspiration to keep on fighting.

Kennedy does not look good. Prediction: he’ll join “the choir invisible” before RBG.

He sounds like Paul Ryan.

Not that I give a shit, but Kennedy has at least succeeded in flushing his absurd reputation as a judge of conscience down the toilet over the last 2 years. Truly a GOP political hack of the first order.

Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand”, but now we may need to turn that statement upside down. It may be that only by dividing this house that we will be able to keep standing. Not formal succession, of course, but arrangements - both formal and informal - among the states of Blue America, which is where most of the economic, cultural and energy drivers of America reside. Abortion rights, civil rights and economic energy will be fine in these states, but they organize into a unified political force to have full impact.

Don’t tut-tut, Kennedy, or Solomon, if I may call you that, sir. Only Steve Martin gets to do that.

Pontius Pilate also did the “tut-tut” thing. His legacy didn’t turn out so great, either.

Maybe he’s right. Didn’t notice Saudi Arabia in there. Ipso Facto and all.

Ok, this same conservative court gave corporations 1st amendment protections (free speech, and one would then think that the CEO of such company who publicly speaks on its behalf is speaking for said company.

Let’s say this CEO says, or describes policy that is discriminatory based on race/sex/gender. Low and behold this company employs a policy, that their lawyers believe is legal but in effect is discriminatory based on race/sex/gender, wouldn’t a victim of this type of discrimination then be able to hold not the company liable based on the policy and the speech of its’ CEO?

Regardless of what we may think of this decision, our main task is to keep Justice Kennedy alive and in the court for two more years. Whatever it takes. Maybe we can have some physicians follow him around 24-7, you know, just in case?

Goes to show that there is now a racist majority on the corrupted Supreme Court.
