Way To Go, Supremes

June 27, 2016 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

You know, maybe we don’t need a new Justice.  Maybe just getting rid of Scalia did the trick.

Not only did the court overturn the Texas HB2 attempt restrict abortions, they said a little gun control  isn’t a bad thing —

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Monday declined to loosen restrictions that prevent individuals convicted of misdemeanor counts of domestic violence from owning a gun.

The court, in a 6-2 ruling, was unpersuaded by arguments from two Maine men who said their past convictions weren’t the type that should subject them to a federal ban on firearm possession.

And speaking of Fun With Guns.

The husband of the Sonic manager, Ronald McDonald, got into a fight with one of the employees and gun fire was exchanged.  McDonald got hit and had to be taken to the hospital.  He is expected to live to tell this story.  That’s a real shame.

  2. OK. All the image I am getting is that big footed yellow red mopped golliwog. I guess I am just out of sorts today for victims of their own foolishness!

  3. Oh my, I had lunch with my daughter-in-law and grandson at that very Sonic just a few weeks ago. I’m happy to have missed this (Not) Fun with Guns event.

  4. Some one’s parents named them Ronald McDonald? That’s bordering on child abuse.

  5. I’m glad the Supreme Court did something righteous, for a change.

    Today, a large legal finger has been jammed up the orifices of Texas Republicans. It was not the orifice that Republican elected officials had in mind a couple years ago, when they passed their ridiculous restrictions on abortion. Maybe they can remedy the problem in the next legislative session. Prohibit the performance of proctology exams on Texas legislators and state elected officials, except within hospitals or by physicians with admitting privileges.

    A Reasonable Request.

    Is there no one out there with the time and resources to reliably estimate what these stupid Republican laws are costing Texas, and for that matter other states and the country? If they can reliably estimate a person’s personal wealth at Forbes, can’t we do this? The voters need to know how much of their tax dollars are being wasted creating and defending these stupid laws.

    Those are the kind of facts you tar the “fiscally responsible” crowd with.

    Locally, near Johnstown, PA a man who had been served with a Protection From Abuse order used a firearm to murder his wife and child before taking the suicide express out of the court’s jurisdiction.

  9. I expected Thomas’ vote (no surprise there), but I am not quite sure why Sotomayor voted with him. Anyone know the answer?

    At JAK, it doesn’t work down here. I think Texas may be the epicenter of the IOKIYAR plague. And DonA, lets hope it was out of the frying pan and into the fire. Maybe he’s in line for processing w that blonde from Katy who shot her daughters in the street-on their dads birthday, no less!

  12. “Prohibit the performance of proctology exams on Texas legislators and state elected officials, except within hospitals or by physicians with admitting privileges.”

    Umptydump, that’s a good idea. A proctology exam on anybody in the Lege is a tricky procedure, because they have to work around the head that’s jammed up there. Well, almost anybody– I hope there are a few sane people in the Lege.

    @EPO – Sotomayor’s vote with Thomas was on a different case regarding weapons – not the Texas abortion issue.

  14. UmptyDump says:

    @Rhea – Actually this afternoon would be a good time for the Texas legislators to have an innuendo exam, because they surely must have evacuated their bowels this morning when they heard about the SCOTUS decision.

    @EPO – Sorry. I’m confused!

    I guarantee you not a single hedgehog has ever applied for membership in the NRA. Hedgehogs are cuter than prickly beavers and make better pets than wingnuts.
