The Supreme Court has done its thing again. If you happen to be a house, or a big pile of money, you’ve got no problem. They will protect you. If you are a mere human, it’s all got worse.
They have given the government permission to persecute absolutely anybody it wants. They did consider the rights of the individual in this, and have decided that if a person can afford a lawyer, the government should back off, for the time being, and find somebody else who can’t afford a lawyer. That’s cheaper and faster if you’ve got a quota to fill.
Even if the government was benign and benevolent, this ruling is just plain evil, but they are doing it with the full knowledge of what the government is going to do.
You can’t even excuse the fact that this judgement was delivered on a Friday, and that the justices are clearly a set of bored and lazy workers who are putting in a shoddy shift before going home for their holidays. They backed this up with directly attacking the gays, while also hindering the lower courts from blocking all the illegal stuff the government is doing. Up until now, the lower courts had been doing a good job. That will stop.
It comes on a day where Senator Taberville raved about “inner city rats” who are “try[ing] to overwhelm us… we have got to fight back.”
And now they can.
