Considering these guys have been busy all day with follow-up coverage on the decisions and, you know, their actual jobs as attorneys, this is some classic, classic work. Nicely done.
I agree. Kudos to the Tweeter from SCOTUSBlog.
I dunno. There is so much ignorance and ill will in politics that this stuff is going to live forever in some distorted form as if the Supreme Court did it.
And they wonder why they can’t get credentials…..
@Pinky: We’ve hit the Internet Age — everything embarrassing lives forever. We might as well laugh at it.
Upvote for the magnanimity though. These are dumb liberals we’re talking about.
Give them a break; they’re still on edge because @TIME never responded to their angry tweets about Daylight Savings Time.
And these are the people who supported the Obama administration’s positions.
@Jenos Idanian #13: they’re not as bad as some others- they want to burn down hobby-lobby. tolerance in it’s rawest form i guess?!
@Tillman: Not magnanimity. Things are confusing enough as-is.
OK, off my high horse, this one’s funny:
