Just when you thought we were sinking hopelessly into the corporate/political quagmire, an unexpected majority of Supreme Court justices rise up on the side of “and justice for all.”  I find myself reticent to parse the thought processes of the more conservative assenters of the Affordable Care Act, lest I inadvertently cause an unprecedented reversal and I definitely don’t want to tamper with the more narrow-margined decision declaring same-sex marriage a basic “right”…so, I’ll just be happy, (no, gleeful), with Chief Justice Robert’s semi-elegant-majority opinion of the first and Tony Kennedy’s profundity of the second…and move on.  Or…maybe I have a few things to say about the dissenting jurists:

Haven’t we all had enough of Clarence Thomas’s dead weight approach to jurisprudence?  His lifetime position is a complete sham.  He never belonged on the court, (ask Anita Hill), and has proven his worthlessness at every session.  Justices can be impeached and there is no defense for his extended tenure.

Alito – simply bought and paid for without any grasp of the concept of justice.

Roberts – an enigma with a meandering sense of the separation of righteous and legal. He seems to have teetered toward honorable and fair with regard to the Affordable Care Act, (I’ll be kind and not suppose he has any ties to Big Daddy Insurance who is wallowing in the afterglow), but loses all credibility by claiming it was not his job to overrule a state’s right to decide who may or may not marry.  If the Supreme Court and each of its sworn judges cannot be emphatic regarding all men/women being equal in the eyes of the law, then none of us is safe from random discrimination.

Scalia – He is a pompous, self-indulgent bully. His giggly interviews intimating spiritual channeling of divine understanding has established him as a cartoonish character unaware that he has been duped by the little shoulder devil disguised as an angel.  He consistently eschews justice and fairness for convoluted, far-reaching legal precedent.  He is, in fact, the modern-era champion on “interpretive jiggery-pokery” which has allowed truly hurtful banking, insurance and corporate polluting practices to continue unchecked and unpunished.  He should be made to wear a matching black hat with his robe.

All in all, however, a very good week for the Court and We, the people, if not for manufacturers of Confederate flags, (unless their scarcity bolsters a windfall valuation for collectors).  NRA…status quo.
