Transcript:
Thanks to the Supreme Court, cops now strip-search your daughter, son, mom, and dad for any offense, even an unpaid parking ticket. They can also search their anuses and vaginas. (Police Officer 1: Is her overdue auto registration fee anywhere in there?) (Police Officer 2: Checking, sarge.) But the American people are too doped up on sports and antidepressants to riot. (Man: I have nothing to hide! Only terrorists need fear the fingers of law probing their nether regions! Also, I pop ex-lax daily.) This situation clearly calls for some creative hacking of police criminal databases. (Woman: Ok... metropolitan police dept, D.C... Scalia, Antonin G... I'm in! Let's give the good justice an interesting record.) If we have to live in a poilice state, let's have fun on the way to fascism. (Police Officer: You're under arrest for rape.) (Man: That's metaphorical!) (Sit and squat cueball!)

The trolls have trouble with their talking-points algorithm sometimes. But don’t worry, I’m sure their programmers will update their code soon.

You got to love how the righties are blaming the liberals for this SCOTUS decision.

“Liberals going crazy!!!!”The right goes off about Obama allegedly shredding the Constitution just about every chance they get. Here’s a case of your constitutional rights actually being trampled on but you don’t care.

If only . . .

Yeah, we’re going crazy because we see that the Supreme Court has given government too much power. I don’t want the government to have the power to do strip searches when there’s no reason for them. Keep your hands off my body, please. This is a question of freedom — from unreasonable search and seizure.

By the way, I love the way Ted drew the bottom left corner of the first panel. Just within the boundaries of taste. Literally.

I wonder if anyone is for the strip search? Did a person bring this up? Who would be for a bill like this? How and where did this start?

Only the far right wing and the clueless still think Obama represents the left in this country. If you read Rall regularly, you should know how little respect he has for much of Obama’s agenda.

Hey, don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for those bozos.

Ted: Re “doped up”, you left out “talent” and “reality” TV.

Brilliant rebuttal!

Is that Sacha Baron Cohen as policeman? Nice Hugo reference, sir.
