A panel of 5th Circuit Court of Appeals judges — all Republican appointees — unapologetically carried water for the anti-abortion litigants Wednesday during oral arguments in a case where those litigants are trying to get an abortion pill, mifepristone, yanked from the market.
They just don’t even pretend to care about the law or precedent any more at all…
Did the judges accuse anyone of being a witch?
“Isn’t The Real Problem Here How Mean You All Were To Kacsmaryk?”
Is there anything more fragile than a Republican in 2023?
(These delicate daisies are more fragile than that special Miracle Whip soufflé that Paula Deen whipped up to celebrate Nathan Bedford Forrest’s birthday.)
No bigger p word than your average “conservative”.
And by p word I obviously mean pantywaist, duh. Oh, you mean that other p word? Sure, works as well, pudknocker. Or putz.
When Danco’s lawyer pushed back, saying that the language reflected the unprecedented nature of the case, Elrod took an incredulous tone: “So you think it’s appropriate to attack the district court personally in the case in that way.” Ho soon jumped in to continue the beratement.
That a judge should considerate it appropriate to address a lawyer in such supercilious tones speaks to the imperial judiciary that our right wing brethren have foisted upon us.
I worry.
Our elections may not be rigged but this motherfucking corrupt inside baseball shit sure the fuck is.
Just wow.
Or, facts and sciencey shit.
Look how far they get to go. Unlimited money and a pet theocracy-in-waiting. I read somewhere - maybe a comment here - that the first thing the Nazis did was hand out radios.
If the GOP could rain free satellite dishes down on this country they would. After all, they just lost AM radio.
Media monopolies rule the land right outside every city in the country.
Trouble with capitalism is you can buy it. Democracy too.
They have gone rabid and I am not ashamed to say that I welcome the fact that it is gong to require violence to put them down. They will have it no other way, so I say we give it to them when the time comes. Make no mistake: they’ll start it. They can’t fucking wait to start it.
Those weapons sit there like a promise.
Yes. Our democracy.

When the judge is going church lady on your ass, you’re not having a good day in court. But I hope he finds a way to cite the church lady remarks in the appeal to the next level.
I don’t welcome it, Sin City is supposedly a comic book.
No, but some states will be banning witchcraft soon because those old biddies know how to brew up an abortifacient from herbs.
Did that make it a Black Forrest cake?
sigh
Edit: joke’s on me
Not quite “hand out” as in “free,” but certainly very inexpensive by standards of the time.
