They Must Have Had A Good Treason
March 4, 2022
Today is the 233rd anniversary of
the founding of the Supreme Court of the United States. As we brace ourselves for
the battle to confirm of a new justice nominated by (Gasp!) a Democratic president,
we can expect flaming idiocy from the usual suspects. Unless Devil-spawn Bitch
McConnell somehow decides that his ill-gotten 6-3 majority is sufficient for
the moment, we can expect plenty of fabricated fireworks, moronic musings, asinine
arguments and seditious stalling.
I am already preemptively nauseated at the very
thought of Ron Johnson (R- MN), John Kennedy (R-LA), Josh Hawley (R-MO) and
You-Got-Me-Dizzy-Miss-Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sharing their tortured thoughts,
desperate to keep a black woman off the historically almost-all-white-all-boys-club.
They are simply not satisfied with the unrelenting white-maleness of the court
and the Court’s democracy-crushing, radical-religious,
devastatingly-hypocritical current configuration. To be fair, they are a bunch racist,
authoritarian antiques who cannot abide compromise, and are desperate to keep America
as white as possible, all else be damned.

Keeping Down With The Thomases
This brings us to the (head)case of the only
current black member of the Court. One who has stood up for white rights and
white privilege throughout is time on the bench. For most of that time besides
being known for his vehement opposition to affirmative action, he was most
famous for his record-breaking decades of silence as he sat in mute awe of
self-proclaimed “originalist” Antonin Scalia, who by most accounts remains as
dead as Generalissimo Francisco Franco, and similarly revered by lovers of
democracy. So-called originalist interpreters of the Constitution are,
essentially by definition, hypocritical fantasists, who blithely ignore
slavery, women’s suffrage, all manner of other vague or dangerously outdated
statements, and the fact that many actually involved in creating the Constitution
believed it should keep up with changing times.
Fermented fruit bat Ginni
Thomas,
insurrectionist-adjacent wife of Extreme Court (In)Justice Clarence is once
again under fire for her political activism. While her choice of fellow
travelers should make fans of democracy and reality shiver in disgust, that is
her business. However, it seems there are a not insignificant number of cases
before her hubby’s robed nonet have connections to Ginni’s
pals.
One might reasonably expect a devout
Constitution “originalist,” especially one who spent so many years sucking at
the teat, or the whatever, of self-proclaimed bull goose originalist Antonin
Scalia so consistently that Thomas was unable to utter a single word while
sitting on (under?) the Bench while Scalia lived, would recuse himself in order
to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, let alone the stench of fraud, fellatio
and fascism. But if Antonin Scalia allowed himself to go hunting with Dick
Cheney while hearing a case involving Cheney, one imagines all bets are off.
Waiting To Exhale
While most political
pundits are saying Ketanji Brown Jackson will certainly be confirmed, it is not
wise to count one’s justices before they’re hitched. There are too many wild
cards, jokers and abject flaming assholes in the Senate.
