Next, the uppity negros: Roberts actually writes “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race” in a decision against even the barest hint of affirmative action. We all see where that one is going.
And with the two biggies out of the way, there is finally the leisure to screw everyone over.
Striking down an antitrust rule nearly a century old, the Supreme Court ruled today that it is no longer automatically unlawful for manufacturers and distributors to agree on setting minimum retail prices.
…The decision was the latest in a string of opinions this term to overturn Supreme Court precedents. It marked the latest in a line of Supreme Court victories for big businesses and antitrust defendants. And it was the latest of the court’s antitrust decisions in recent years to reject rules that had prohibited various marketing agreements between companies.
What? Are you really suprised? You guys didn’t really think that there was enough privilege for all the straight white men, did you? But don’t fret too much. The higher prices you’ll be paying will go towards the further enrichment of the top 2-3% of the population, who will then be able to plenty afford to keep those women, brown people and foriegners in their place. And isn’t that what the Bush mandate was all about? Mission accomplished!
I am bleeding out of my face. These fuckers have made me bleed out of my face. Nice going.
The most devastating effect of the Kerry loss was the resulting loss of the Court. So brutal.
Teddy Roosevelt is spinning in his grave.
If there is a hell, these justices will go there and be forced to read “The Jungle” over and over for all eternity.
That would be cool. Sometimes it sucks that there probably isn’t a hell.
Habeas corpus is next, I hear.
