Justice Decayed Is Justice Defied

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hypocritical fantasists, who blithely ignore slavery, women’s suffrage, all manner of other vague or dangerously outdated statements, and the fact that many actually involved in creating the Constitution believed it should keep up with changing times.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.
