Antonin Scalia: Neener, neener, neener... Courtroom Sketches. Scenes from the DOMA case from your Cartoon Court Reporter. The culture war argument evaporates. Clarence Thomas fends off the irony of the "loving" interracial marriage case. Scalia shuts out the "New World." Kicking the whole can down the road.

Good cartoon. The supreme court is looking less and less rational and just by the year. As Maureen Dowd said, they have no problem making snap BAD decisions (Bush v. Gore, unlimited money in politics), but when they have a chance to make a GOOD decision, they have to try to slow down the progress of justice.

She’s made more-or-less the same post here (usually consisting of fewer than ten words) over 10,000 times. (For real. Click on her name and get her post count.)
She refers to Russians as “soviets” and thinks that subsidies are tax cuts.
When I was in third grade, I’d have felt intellectually superior to her. Now I’m just entertained.

There is no way to tell whether this twit is a male or female troll and it doesn’t matter—he, she or it gets paid per post. Nothing she says makes any sense; nothing he says is logical; and nothing it says is factual.
I know this twit is annoying, which probably gives her a good deal of pleasure. Best to ignore him. Responding to it isn’t worth the trouble.

Nope. He doesn’t have one. He does have an informed opinion, though. Good editorial cartoonists do, by definition.

How is having better (or some for those who never had any) health insurance tyrannical?

The smoke screen started in 1996 when the Republican Congress passed DOMA, and took what had long been a state issue and made it into a Federal issue to mobilize part of their base in the 1996 elections. Clinton could of vetoed the bill but he didn’t want to give the Republicans a wedge issue in an election year, so he signed it.Bush used gay marriage as smoke screen in 2004 so he wouldn’t have to deal with the real issue of the war in Iraq. Gay marriage was probably the deciding issue in Bush winning Ohio, the state that decided the election.The fact that Supreme Court took these cases is something the Administration or Congress has no control over.

It’s a pity, isn’t it, that some justices think they should rule by their personal politics rather than the law?

Ima gets it’s jollies in life from being a hated or a laughed-at troll. Probably bi-sexual or has a gender identity issues.Takes up way more than it’s share by using it’s 15 word vocabulary. But I read that conservatives are generally more fearful less informed and refuse to even consider any other side of things.I’m happy about the ACA, my best friend can’t afford to by health insurance and he has done without and his health has suffered.

Wow Loving v Virginia, really? The difference between a man and a woman is much greater than between “races.” Distinctions matter.
