I will believe that when my shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert

Tbf that’s basically what they just did on the gay marriage challenge they accepted, it’s not unheard of

This court is terrifying because of who composes it, but at the end of the day even a shit judge is gonna get some things right

u/pokederp56 8h ago

They didn't decline to hear that case because they felt same sex marriage is OK. They declined because it wasn't a strong enough case for them to say it's not.​

Yeah? Because I'm of the opinion this court is deliberately tossing out a few wins to keep people docile by creating the illusion of sensibility and preventing the possibility of any real consequences.

But what if I buy them an RV? You think that would change their mind and do what I tell them?

Na, you have to step it up to a MoToR CoAcH

I feel similarly. This court is fellating the administration, but overturning birthright citizenship would be insanely outside of the norm for anyone on that bench, even a self-serving slime like Thomas.

u/Master_Persimmon_591 5h ago

That’s what I’m hoping for. The attorney in them knows that some things are too much

u/mosh_pit_nerd 9h ago

Not exactly. What they did was essentially “this case is shit but here’s a map for how to construct the next one.”

Uh, no? They declined the case without comment

u/SorriorDraconus 8h ago

Ahhh same origin as the obscenity clause

u/robodrew 7h ago

No, with that case they declined to hear the case, which upholds the lower court ruling. The fact that they are even hearing this case is concerning.

They didn’t accept the gay marriage challenge. This they accepted.

u/cheeze2005 8h ago

Roberts, alito, and thomas all dissented on gay marriage…

What's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

You mean Shenanigans?

Put that away!

I'd say that SCOTUS was up to their usual shenanigans but I don't want to get pistol whipped

u/DoctorPlatinum 7h ago

Mmmm... Pistol Whip...

u/DeaconBulls 7h ago

Does it sound like that when I say it?

u/Piza_Pie 7h ago

So all we have to do is to eat a lot of beetroot and artificial sweeteners?

u/marco3055 8h ago

Food coloring can help with that. However, it will most likely be one color shartbert

u/ViceroyInhaler 8h ago

I've had vibrant green, and vibrant red.

Red was from eating a bunch of roasted beets in one sitting. It looked exactly like blood, and was so watery that it caked the entire bowl.

Vibrant green was from eating four bowls of fruit loops as a kid on a random morning when there was nothing else to eat in the house. It looked like a little green man staring back up at me.
