He popped a wheelie, shouted “excelsior!” and rapidly exited in a screeching whirl of wheels and tires, leaving nothing but a hanging cloud of dispersing dust and burnt rubber.
Approval of SC is at 40%, lowest in history.
The virus is just mRNA. No brain or any awareness. It can’t follow our rules. The only way out of this plague right now, short of a magic cure pill the goobers would accept, is getting vaccinated, wearing that mask and distance. The Army has a new vaccine that works, apparently, on all variations of this virus and it should be the next booster shot we should all get.
If mandates work at getting the hesitant protected then do it.
Oh, just wait until June 2022.
I’d forgotten this about Gorsuch.
It’s “could not have cared less,” of course, but perhaps Norm is correct and Gorsuch has further depths to plumb in his ability not to care.
One ray of hope is that they know the court is increasingly seen as highly politicized. It’s not supposed to be, but you can tell they’re worried about it with recent op-eds and speeches by the conservative side.
They’re about to blow up Roe v Wade which will start a firestorm of protest. So they may pull back on decisions involving other controversies, like saying the Covid vax mandate is somehow different from other government vax mandates. They may let Biden take the heat for it, instead of stepping directly into the vax controversies.
I wish I had a vote on Sinema in 2022 but she’s around until 2024.
Waiting for the loons to start screaming that vaccines go against God’s will… and should not be readily available…
…and that masks are offensive and should be banned .
… obviously sarcastic - - but I 'm 100% certain that if a protest rally was planned to support these crazy ideas … there would be hundreds of deranged MAGAS coal-rolling their stupid asses to join in.
He discovered his “earthen vessel” had a crack in it.
He was a shitty Catholic long before he became a shittier Episcopalian.
So True
Republicans and the media blamed Biden for gas prices.

Now that gas prices are going down, they’re silent.
Republicans and the media blamed Biden for the supply chain.
Now that Christmas gifts are delivering on time, they’re silent.
These days reason, logic and empathy are on life support and that hospital is way over crowded with the dying. So the cot with the reason, logic and empathy patient is out in the hall. No room available.
For example, Gorsuch insisted that the presence of medical exemption but not a religious exemption constitutes discrimination against religion. He implied that once a state allows anyone to remain unvaccinated for legitimate health reasons, it must then allow anyone to remain unvaccinated because of their faith.
But Gorsuch’s most alarming argument is more fundamental: He openly scorned the notion that the government’s interest in halting the spread of a lethal global virus is always “compelling.” While the justice begrudgingly acknowledged that limiting COVID is a compelling interest today , he added that it “cannot qualify as such forever.” Pointing to the development of vaccines and treatments, he suggested that state efforts to fight COVID will no longer qualify as “compelling” in the very near future because if these treatments work, people won’t get sick and die. “If human nature and history teach anything,” he concluded with a grandiose flourish, “it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.”
Cue a spike in gas prices at the pumps by sundown today.
Is he really an Episcopalian? I thought he began adhering to some weird God-bothering Protestant sect. I could be wrong.
@sonsofares, too
The court simply doesn’t care - they may SAY they don’t want to look like partisan hacks, but that ship has sailed. The best thing that could happen would be a mass resignation, but that’s highly unlikely. The court will never be viewed as impartial and non-partisan, at least in our lifetimes.
Public health should never be political but we have trump to thank now for the deaths of eight hundred of thousand here and millions worldwide. And vaccines and public health are very hot button political issues.
When you want to go full on fascist, buy a Supreme Court.
Twenty two million (est.) spent on Amy Coney Bearcat alone!
The cracks in our constitutional system are becoming crevasses.
