SCOTUS and the Imbeciles - 7/1/2023

"The Supreme Court is racist against Black Americans!" Uh, no. The Supreme Court said that everyone has to be treated equally, that racial preferences, by their nature, are discriminatory against someone on the other side of the preference equation. Our country was founded on the words, "All men are created equal". Granted, it has taken us a long, long time to get here, but here we are. As they should, the court says, "Treat everyone equally."

"The Supreme Court discriminates against gay people". No they don't. They protected the right of people who prefer not to participate in publishing a website about or advocating for something against their wishes that conflicts with their religious beliefs. Of all the bakers who might decorate a cake, printers who might print your invitations, of all the web designers who can publish your website, don't go to one you know has religious objections to your content. Some religions have beliefs and practices with which some, perhaps nearly all of us, disagree. Practitioners of those religions have freedom of religion, freedom of speech. Frankly, it is clear to me that these businesses are being targeted because of their beliefs. Standards of tolerance and acceptance are being replaced with participate, advocate, and celebrate or face the consequences. Of 100 web designers, one objects to your content. As long as the other 99 are willing and able, you're not oppressed. You still want the one who objects to do it? You're not oppressed, you're an activist asshole.

"The Supreme Court made abortions illegal again." No they didn't. The Supreme Court said that abortion is not protected or addressed in the US Constitution, therefore it is a matter to be decided by the states. The ruling was NOT for or against abortion. It was simply, and correctly, asserting that the Federal government wasn't the appropriate place to render that determination.

 "The Supreme Court screwed all the people with college loan debts by deciding the program was illegal." You believe that? Really? Seemingly, the college money you borrowed was wasted. You should have gone to a school that taught about the US Constitution and the separation of powers of the US Government. You know, that whole pesky Executive, Legislative, and Judicial thing. The court could give a rat's ass if we forgive the loans or not. The court simply and correctly asserted that the power to do so is NOT vested in the Executive Branch of government, but in the Legislature. The fact that our Senate and House of Representatives are nearly useless, and that our President thinks he's a king, not the Chief Executive, isn't a SCOTUS problem.

I'm exhausted by the number of uneducated and educated imbeciles who get totally righteous and indignant over all these awful SCOTUS decisions. Illiterate about the Constitution, uneducated about the branches of our government and the functions of each, absolutely certain the Supreme Court is the problem, and unwilling to even try to understand basic US civics, including the responsibilities and authorities of Federal and State government, these people unwittingly boast about their own ignorance and stupidity time and time again. There ARE ways to codify all of the above issues into law, some or all of: Amend the US Constitution, have Congress pass a constitutional law, and or passage of laws at the State level. You want it? Feel you should get it the right way via some shortcut. The easy way out often doesn't hold up to educated scrutiny. You're pissed anyway?

Imbecile.
