How is overturning basic human decency not consistent? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 27/06/2013 01:39:23 AM

Especially when you consider that on two separate days this week SCOTUS handed out rulings upholding institutionalized racism (the Affirmative Action decision and the cutting out of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act).

I just don't see how they managed to make such decisions, as at the core of them the issues really are the same.

I am very happy at today's rulings, but just can't wrap my head around the mindset of SCOTUS after all the rulings this week are taken into account.

Somebody on this court has some split personality problems...

View original postGlad I got to see it.

I was thinking exactly that - I read actual news first when I got home, but I have to admit that I loved seeing all the positive posts on facebook. It's a good day when you can "like" fifty+ comments and not bore yourself.

<3 people right now.
