Why the Supreme Court is Important

The Supreme Court just handed down a ruling on Guantanamo that the detainees can challenge their detentions in Federal Court.

Or, in other words: "Court to Bush! Court to Bush! What part of `we are a nation of laws, not men' is unclear to you?"

Of course, the Four Fascists dissented, but that's to be expected. That this ruling was handed down while Chimpy is overseas is sort of a nice garnish.

Notice to You Democrats Who Are Still In a Huff Because Hillary Lost:

This is why the power to nominate justices to the Supreme Court is important. This is why we cannot entrust that power to John McCain, a man who is not only running for Bush's third term, but who has also endorsed and ratified the undemocratic policies of Vlad Cheney. This is what McCain said: “I don’t know if I would want [Cheney] as vice president. He and I have the same strengths. But to serve in other capacities? Hell, yeah.”

That s what you want? You want another president who is in favor of appointing authoritarian/fascists to the Supreme Court, to appoint justices who believe that whatever the president does is legal, and who treat the Bill of Rights as a dead letter? This is what you are willing to accept because Hillary lost?

So, if any of you are still of the opinion that you will vote for McCain or not vote at all because Hilary lost, then fuck you, fuck your horse, and fuck everybody who looks like you, for you are the pettiest and most detestable of souls, and may you be forever damned.
