Loved the column, Barry, but I have one tiny nitpick. As a champion speller ( among my sadly limited skills), I must note that "predominantly" is misspelled.
Actually, I have seen it both ways. More importantly, my editor did -- unless he missed it. And then I will dock his pay. Not that he'll be able to tell.
By all means dock him because (not to be nitpicky although I am but as I have few other major skills I feel compelled to do so) when you’ve seen it the other way, it was (as it often is) misspelled.
Next, the Court will rule that the GOP is a faith and thus is protected from hate speech. The rites will include spraying ketchup on the walls and keeping appropriate people in their place.
I'm thinking of that Marie Antoinette thing those wacky French incorporated into their Olympics opening. One begins to understand how things got that far.
Somewhere in the (pick one) level of hell, Roger Taney took a sip of what passes for bourbon in the netherworld, exhaled with a discernable satisfaction and smiled the smile of someone who knows he now has a partner in legal atrocities--and a contender for Worst Chief Justice in American History--sitting in his former seat.
Dred Scott v. Trump. Two unpalatable matzah balls bitten off by two now-historical punchlines.
Talk about yer train of abuses and usurpations, yeesh! Superb job, Barry, of hitting the core injustices of these horrible decisions, and grouping them in both a memorable framework and a moving narrative. You expertly unfolded the ongoing pattern of legislating radical and profound changes from the bench -- kudos!
When they show you who they are, believe them. There is no settled law they will not overturn in order to suit Lex Luthor, I mean Leonard Leo.
I knew who you meant

Hackman is not a hack. Never was.
You didn't get the joke. It's ok. Jeeze.

Deeply, depressingly, perfect.
Thank you and, yeah, it is.

"There is nothing in the Constitution," one of the conservative justices will write, "the prevents keeping 'appropriate people' in their place.
Something wicked this way comes...No, wait! It's already here.
These people will take away everything if we don't stop them.
Really excellent, Barry.
Thanks, pal. It means much coming from you

That's how it starts. An Olympic skit goes off the rails and the next thing you know women want to control their own bodies.
The idea that Roberts ever has been a “moderate” always has been pure Beltway Pundit Class Bullshit.
He’s like Ted Bundy, who could be very charming, but always harbored and acted with evil intent.

And somewhere associate justice-in-waiting Aileen Cannon thinks, “Hold my beer.”
Jesus, Mary and Tapdancing Joseph on a luxury RV junket, that's not funny. I think a session with Life Coach Melissa is in order. ...
For me.

Thank you much for this, Mark. Very much appreciated
Well fuck, when y'all spell it out like THAT, it really hits home just how bad this court is for America in general and specifically, Americans.
