Their Bible is Atlas Shrugged and I would not be surprised to see Alito use the 60 page John Galt speech in his opinion.

Even if the case is settled or dropped before the Gang of Six hears arguments, will that stop them from ruling? They dug up the corpse of the EPA’s power-plant anti-pollution plan just so they could kill it again.

The states that will take advantage of this have the greatest number of MAGATs. I’m old enough to remember them squealing that they didn’t want government in their Medicare.

Well piggies, wait until you have no Medicare, then government won’t be.

This is the kind of grim and convoluted law, so boring to the people it will directly affect, that is going to come our way for the next 3 to 4 decades or more. This is the stuff that keeps me up at night.

I am telling my 36 year old daughter and her husband to count on nothing besides what they can save. This really alarms me since my wife and I would not survive without social security for very long. The Republicans talk about wokeness, but they are going after the New Deal.

I listened halfway to Tucker - one of the amazing things he says (among many) is that no one can explain Watergate to this day - one of the most well-documented and written about scandals and subsequent court cases of all time. Tucker Carlson is one scary bag of shit.

Pols been doing this since FDR conceived it. It’s a bizarre personality type that wants to deprive fellow humans of life as it gets supported by these measures come to be known as the safety net. What constituency are they looking to appease with this effort? I guess it’s a hatred of “socialism” and that’s as evil as witchcraft.
Add social security and medicaid to the 'Malleus Maleficarum."

I’ve never read a wholly satisfactory explanation of what the burglars were after.
(I’m not alluding to conspiracies or things of that nature.)

And people who never read the damned book regard selfishness as a virtue.
BTW, Ayn Rand said her own book was “bullshit”.
Total self-reliance? She grabbed on to Medicare when she got lung cancer.
