Tonight on The Independents: The Supremes! (As in Court.) Starring Damon Root, Judge Napolitano, Peter Suderman, and Timothy Sandefur!

We have a totally sweet Red Meat Friday theme episode of The Independents waiting for you on your television boxes at 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT (with repeats three and five hours later) on the Fox Business Network. It's all about the Supreme Court, and who better to give us a tour of its secret quasi-libertarian history and futureshock than beloved Reason superhuman Damon Root, author of the splendiferous Overruled: The Long War for Control of the U.S. Supreme Court. Damon shall provide a précis of his penumbras, as a way of re-jiggering the dull-witted modern understandings of the truly meaningful divides on the High Court.

You think your body's had enough of libertarian SCOTUS-analysis? THINK AGAIN, MORTAL. Beloved Senior Editor Peter Suderman, who will bring a very fine price where we're headed, breaks down Obamacare's upcoming judicial vulnerabilities, and participates in a super-competitive Supreme Court trivia contest. Timothy Sandefur, principal attorney of the Pacific Legal Foundation, talks about the fascinating Facebook/violence/free-speech case Elonis v. United States. And I dunno, maybe you've heard of Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and Reason.com columnist Andrew Napolitano, author of the brand new Suicide Pact: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Lethal Threat to American Liberty? Well, our favorite WHAT-PART-OF-THE-CONSTITUTIONist will be on to assess who is the most libertarian member of the Supreme Court.

Do you even deserve such a good show on cable television? Well, yes, because you have been donating early and often to Reason's annual Webathon, in which we are seeking an audacious $200,000 in tax-deductible contributions by the end of December 9. (Please donate right the hell now, etc.) Part of our essential value proposition is that we serve as your tribune, injecting libertarian arguments into all sorts of venues where they had been previously scarce. Watch tonight's show, and tell me how that's going.

Burn!

*clap, clap, clap*

[Sevo]

"Apparently a Rolling Stone also gathers no evidence."

Clever turn of phrase, but it is more damning that RS LIED about having fact checked the story.
It's not that they were mislead, it's that they flat-out lied about it.
Do they now expect anyone to believe anything they print without outside corroboration?

[The Whole Truth]

What an appropriate place to be your typical boring self.

[SweatingGin]

This article isn't fit for AARP Magazine!

[Sevo]

That's COLD!
How about Parade?

[PapayaSF]

And more feminists who insist on reinforcing the old stereotype that women are not logical:

Melissa McEwan @Shakestweetz

I can't state this more emphatically: If Jackie's story is partially or wholly untrue, it doesn't validate the reasons for disbelieving her.

[Sevo]

Sarc, I hope

[Anonymous Coward]

It isn't. McEwan is a good little Outer Party feminist.

[Sevo]

So if the story is "wholly untrue", we are still to believe what?
Doesn't she understand that if it is untrue we are bound to believe it is untrue?
Or is she simply maintaining that "up" = "down" because she wishes it so?

[Irish]

She's maintaining that engaging in mindless moral panics is totally okay when feminists do it and that pointing out the sexual paranoia of modern feminism is meanspirited and heretical.

[PapayaSF]

I would translate it into something like: "Just because critics were right this time doesn't validate critics of feminism."

[Sevo]

If that is the case, she needs to go back to school and maybe learn how to use the English language.

[seguin]

Truthiness. It FEELS true, ergo it is thus.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous bullshit, it really doesn't matter because screw you, LISTEN AND BELIEVE DAMMIT.

[Irish]

It's Melissa McEwan.

She just published this today.

It has a content warning of 'rape apologia' and is about how anyone who doesn't believe her wants all the women on Earth to be raped in service to the Dark Corpse God we know by the name of Patriarchy.

In the article she lists a bunch of supposed gang rapes in order to claim that since gang rapes happen, this gang rape must have happened. However, half the gang rapes she links to ended in acquittal which means that legally they weren't gang rapes, since people were found innocent.

Secondly, none of the other gang rapes have any resemblance to Jackie's claims. She basically argues that because one thing that was kind of like a gang rape happened in a super poor neighborhood in Cleveland, we should believe that it also happened to Jackie, even though her story makes no sense.

This is your brain on 21st century feminism.

She also claims it's believable that a fraternity would stage a gang rape as an initiation ritual and links to this story as proof. You'll notice that in this story there was no gang rape, it was just a fucked up and dangerous hazing ritual where they drank tremendous amounts of alcohol and did fucked up stuff with sex toys.

So her argument that this must have happened is based entirely on linking to stories that are completely different.

[Sevo]

But at least she is not asking us to believe her story if it is untrue; she is maintaining that it is true.
I find that at least a bit comforting in that (per above), I was afraid she was simply saying the truth of the matter was ittelevant.

[GILMORE]

" Melissa McEwan Moderator ? 7 hours ago

LaurenB So sad that these journalistic errors have clouded the issue.

Rolling Stone did not make "journalistic errors"--even if it turns out Jackie's account was deliberately or inadvertently (it did happen over two years ago) inaccurate.

If media only ever reported on sexual assault cases where all of the facts were 100% verifiable, virtually no sexual assault cases would ever be reported on at all.

If your goal here isn't to actively make sure that doesn't happen, then I am asking you to stop peddling this garbage about journalistic errors in this space.

[Sevo]

"Journalistic errors" my ass!
How about bald-faced lies?

[GILMORE]

RAPE IS NOT A LIE IT IS REAL

[Rebel Scum]

Check out this gem from FB.

We know rape is rampant in this country, the exact number is not significant no matter what's the number is, it's happening.

No matter what the number is, theft is happening. No matter what the number is, speeding is happening. No matter what the number is, (Kennedy) interrupting is happening. No matter what the number -

You see where I'm going. This person's statement has no legitimate, discernible premise, but is meant to be taken seriously.

[Irish]

The best is that it's provably untrue that 'no matter what the number is' rape is 'rampant.'

Our rape rate is not high. It is actually very low. We know what the numbers are, and they fall well short of 'rampant.'

[Rufus J. Firefly]

These (some) people have journalism degrees.

THIS is the frightening part of all.

[Anonymous Coward]

This is your brain on 21st century feminism.

Which is little more than a cult that puts scientology to shame.

Shakesville is run as a safe space.

Translation: Dissent will not be tolerated. Opposition will not be tolerated. The Narrative is All.

[Whahappan?]

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

[GILMORE]

"disbelieving"

I have seen in multiple fembot locations the argument made that 'disbelief' requires extensive evidence and extraordinary justification....while "Belief" should be the default view of any 'reasonable' person.

Not just for 'rape', but basically ANYTHING that a woman says. Because its the most 'radical' thing society can do = Listen and Believe when wimmins are sharing their 'experiences'

In short = its an argument that effectively turns what we normally think of as "Reason" (DRINK) and turns it on its head.

You don't need 'evidence' for an argument.

You need 'evidence' to justify an absence of agreement with someone. Skepticism is not a legitimate POV and is hateful and bigoted and sexist.

Which is why the 'facts' here are not important to many people. Its about the sinfulness of the *skepticism*

[Rebel Scum]

but basically ANYTHING that a woman says

I have known women to lie or at least be disingenuous to me more often than other men are.

Skepticism is not a legitimate POV

Same with the AGW crowd.

[Sevo]

She certainly seems to have some confusion regarding "fiction" vs. "non-fiction".

[seguin]

Penises are guilty until proven innocent.

[Irish]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

She just posted this:

[GILMORE]

"" deliberately misunderstanding ""

Again - its the same thing i'm talking about above

They don't believe in "Reason"

'Blind Acceptance' is an example of RightThink

Any form of skepticism or attempt to apply rationality is DELIBERATE CRUELTY

I'm not kidding. That's how their universe works, apparently. They've entirely *abandoned* reason.

"I was talking to the dog."

[Suthenboy]

"I can't state this more emphatically: If Jackie's story is partially or wholly untrue, it doesn't validate the reasons for disbelieving her."

This woman is insane.

The feminist line is that truth is unconnected to belief or credibility. That is some first rate, pure crazy.

[Suthenboy]

Yuri Bezmenov could not have been more accurate.

[Whahappan?]

Yeah, but the scary part is that they acknowledge it. Crazy people actually believe the nutty shit they say. Charlatans pretend to believe their lies to fool the gullible. These people openly deny the importance of truth or reality.

[DK]

... who is the most libertarian member of the Supreme Court.

Good question. Maybe if you Frankensteined the nine justices you might come up with a libertarian one.

[Irish]

I think we should take Thomas' views on the first amendment, Scalia's views on the second, and Ginsburg's views on the fourth and fifth.

We might have a passable Supreme Court Justice!

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Thomas' views on the First? He doesn't think the Establishment Clause should apply to the states. Also, see Black v VA and Holder b Humanitarian Law Project.

[Irish]

He doesn't think the Establishment Clause should apply to the states.

That's actually a pretty reasonable position if you believe the Bill of Rights was meant to bind the Federal government and not the states.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

I don't think he's against incorporation in general, but if he was, wow, that would make him worse.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Scala is against incorporation so his sidekick no doubt is.

[Old Man With Candy]

Did your mother have any children who weren't mouth-foaming racists? Or was that your entire family, not just you?

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Irish, this explains his stance better
http://m.wsj.com/articles/BL-LB-47999

[Irish]

In a separate opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that while the First Amendment "probably prohibits Congress from establishing a national religion," it wasn't intended to restrict states from adopting their own official religions. Under this view, not only could state or local officials ordain religious exercises for their meetings, they could use tax dollars to fund an official church. He cites the clause "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," saying that "choice of language?effectively denied Congress any power to regulate state establishments."

After all, "at least six States had established churches in 1789," Justice Thomas wrote. Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire "maintained local-rule establishments whereby the majority in each town could select the minister and religious denomination (usually Congregationalism, or 'Puritanism')." Georgia and Maryland "permitted taxation in support of all Christian churches," while South Carolina limited its subsidy to "all Protestant churches," he added. And while Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island "had no history of formal establishments," they "maintained religious tests for office."

I don't see any problem with this. I don't think states SHOULD have a state church (and individual state constitutions should also outlaw such things) but his point about state churches existing in early America is pretty reasonable.

[Irish]

In other words, I think every state should individually not have a state church, but it's the Supreme Court's job to interpret the Constitution, not to decide what they want the Constitution to say.

Thomas's argument is an originalist reading of the Constitution and I think he documents his argument well.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Fair enough, but if the metric is most libertarian and not most reasonable originalism he comes out worse there.

[Virginian]

Fair enough, but if the metric is most libertarian and not most reasonable originalism he comes out worse there.

It's possible for a polity with a state church to be more libertarian than a secular polity.

I'd rather live under the government of colonial America circa 1730 then under Soviet rule in the 1930s.

[Irish]

It's possible for a polity with a state church to be more libertarian than a secular polity.

I'd rather live under the government of colonial America circa 1730 then under Soviet rule in the 1930s.

Well, that is a bit of a false dilemma.

[Virginian]

Well, that is a bit of a false dilemma.

Eh, I'm talking about the real world.

You give me a rocket ship and a suitable planet to land it on, and I'll go set up a truly libertarian polity. Until we get that, we're going to be dealing with an endless series of compromises and small victories.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Yeah, I'll take neither, thanks

[Virginian]

Yeah, I'll take neither, thanks

Good luck with that.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Thomas disregards the 14th Amendment in his support of a state religion.

Dumbass.

[Suthenboy]

"....his point about state churches existing in early America is pretty reasonable."

I am less than convinced. Many actions by the federal and state governments which were widely accepted at the time were clear violations of the constitution and of natural rights.

Failure to live up to our ideals in the past is not justification for failing to live up to them now.

[Agammamon]

I'm pretty sure that if a state government can violate a 'human right' then its not a human right.

Our rights do not *derive* from government, government is merely supposed to protect our ability to enjoy them.

To say that a state can establish a religion is like saying that a state can disarm its citizens, board state employees with those citizens, does not need warrants to conduct searches, citizens can be obligated to testify against themselves, etc.

[Irish]

Okay, you guys convinced me. Stop piling on, I concede.

[Suthenboy]

"...if you believe the Bill of Rights was meant to bind the Federal government and not the states."

That would be somewhat difficult to resolve with the notion of natural rights.

[Raven Nation]

It would be difficult to resolve but, if Thomas is an originalist, he is at least being consistent. The Bill of Rights was produced not only to protect individual rights but to attempt to maintain the primacy of the individual states wherever possible. Hence the wording of the Tenth Amendment reserving rights to the States and the people.

[Agammamon]

But the 10th amendment does not give arbitrary power to state governments.

It simply says that those things not explicitly federal (nor explicitly forbidden) can be done by the states - but the caveat is that the interpretation 'state can do anything not forbidden' runs afoul of the basic principle the constitution was created for, the protection of individual rights.

[Raven Nation]

uns afoul of the basic principle the constitution was created for, the protection of individual rights.

OK, I won't say this is a settled debate, but the this statement is not the one which has the most support among historians. The Constitution was not designed to create a government of unlimited power. BUT, it was designed to create a government with more power that the government which existed under the Articles of Confederation.

This is why so many duties are spelled out in the original document: because the framers wanted to give specific powers to the new government. It was because these powers were seen by many as not being restricted that a BoR was drafted - see my post below.

[Agammamon]

I think the BoR was meant to bind *government in general*.

[Raven Nation]

I think it has come to mean that - and that's a good thing. But, within the historical context, it was written specifically to bind the new federal government.

[Virginian]

I think it has come to mean that - and that's a good thing.

Well it binds government to the specific restraints of the BoR. But the anti-federalists were right way back when: placing the BoR in the Constitution, even with the 9th Amendment in there, has led to the statists insisting that only the enumerated rights are actually right.

A more diffused power locus in this country might have led to one or more aggressively libertarian state governments with the authority to chart their own course to a greater degree then is possible in the modern USA.

[Anonymous Coward]

Of the three pictured above?

Scalia has the occasional brainfart that the First and Second Amendments matters, or that some judge-made test is an absurd legal fiction that ignores history, reason, or both, or that the Court will (wrongfully) toss reason out the window and bow to public pressure a la Korematsu.

Thankfully, he comes to his senses in time to remember that the Commerce Clause is all-powerful, the Fourth Amendment is toilet paper, and all possible deference must be given to the police.

That said, Thomas is simply a statist Republican and Kennedy, in a just world, would be impeached, flogged, and exiled along with the other eight Nazgul.

Speaking of validation, here's some more validation for your belief that cops don't get treated quite the same by grand juries as you or I would.

I made a huge pot of baby lima beans with generous portions of meaty neck bones, lots of onion, garlic, jalepeno and chicken broth.

I dont do that very often, but I had a craving. Go figure.

[Virginian]

That sounds good. I made a great soup the other week with hot italian sausage, cheese tortellini, tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc. Was fantastic.

Might make chili tomorrow. Or a big thing of pinto beans with ham. New place up the road a bit does this

Hickory Hill Huevos Rancheros

ham-cooked pinto beans over corn bread with melted cheese. Topped with 2 fried eggs*, tomato, onion and sour cream garnish

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Since it's a SCOTUS focus, here's an update on a case I flagged a week ago here

"The Supreme Court will review whether Texas's rejection of a proposed license plate featuring the Confederate flag violated the free speech rights of the group that wanted the special plates."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....id=HP_more

[Irish]

I see a 9-0 decision coming.

License plates are produced by the state. As such, I think they can control what is printed on them. They're not saying you can't stick a Confederate flag on the back of your pickup.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

But if the government creates a public forum they usually can't deny speech there based on content of the speech

[Irish]

But if the government creates a public forum they usually can't deny speech there based on content of the speech

Really? Public access T.V. exists because of an FCC mandate. So if I wanted to run pornography on Public access T.V., they couldn't stop me?

[Bo Cara Esq.]

They could stop you on obscenity grounds but not other content. There's been cases on that

[Bo Cara Esq.]

http://www.law.cornell.edu/sup.....24.ZS.html

[Irish]

If they can stop you on obscenity grounds, why can't they stop you on 'we think this is racist' grounds?

Surely calling someone a nigger is worse than showing a pair of tits.

I also have a feeling that if I wanted to start a show on public access T.V. in which I did nothing but talk about my hatred of Jews, they would probably find grounds to prohibit that.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Obscenity is treated as a historical exception to the Free Speech Clause.

[Irish]

It being treated as a historical exception in no way makes it rational. Where exactly in the Constitution does it say 'oh, obscenity doesn't count?'

[Bo Cara Esq.]

I agree it's irrational, but there you go. It's not the only irrational thing in our legal system.

[The Whole Truth]

So has speech that incites violence.

So stop with what is obviously going to be a stupid drawn out attempt by you to draw a stupid fucking distinction when we live in a world where hate speech laws exist, and the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

There are no hate speech laws in the US, though there are hate crimes laws ( I think these have a speech element, but they're different than straight up speech regulations)

[The Whole Truth]

"There are no hate speech laws in the US"

So what, I never said there were

"we live in a world where hate speech laws exist"

Learn to read what you're replying to properly before you make a fool of yourself replying to it.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

So your argument is that hate speech laws exist somewhere in the world therefore????

[The Whole Truth]

" the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity."

How fucking stupid are you? I said read fuckboy.

And this is the point where you stupidly say "nu uh, the SC can't just DO STUFF" and then we laugh at your naivety.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

So your argument was 'since hate speech laws exist somewhere in the world our SC might just apply them here?'

Um, okaaay.

[The Whole Truth]

"Um, okaaay."

That's a solid counter, fuckboy.

[The Whole Truth]

By the way, this is where we laugh at you for your naivety, AND your ignorance of the historical background of the court considering international jurisprudence.

If you're really a law student, you suck and should get your money back.

AHAHAHAHAA HOW FUCKING NAIVE AND IGNORANT ARE YOU?

[Suthenboy]

We?

You have a frog in your pocket?

[The Whole Truth]

I have your wife in my lap, that counts.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

Oh, you're that crazy guy. Thought so.

Apart from your legal silliness, do you not get that your first section really does no work? If SC might just do whatever they want and make hate speech laws so what that other countries have them?

[The Whole Truth]

NO stupid fuck. The prevailing opinions of the populace at large are legitimizing the idea of "hate speech" laws. The SC considers the opinions of the populace at large. That's why the rest of the world matters fuckboy.

In addition, the entire point of my response was to point out that you were patently irrefutably wrong in your claim that "They could stop you on obscenity grounds but not other content."

I cited an example that totally refuted you, and then continued the idea that exceptions are not novel or hard to manufacture.

It is no wonder a multi part idea was lost on you.

fuckboy.

[The Whole Truth]

AHAHAHAHAA HOW FUCKING NAIVE AND IGNORANT ARE YOU?

[The Whole Truth]

"They could stop you on obscenity grounds but not other content."

That was wrong and a lie. I have no intention of continuing to explain a very simple point to you, when you're not even intellectually honest enough to admit you're a liar.

I'll even accept "mistaken" even though you'd be lying about that.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

we live in a world where female genital mutilation laws exist, and the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

we live in a world where laws banning the word meow exist, and the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity.

[The Whole Truth]

We live in a world where you were wrong and a liar.

"we live in a world where female genital mutilation laws exist, and the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity."

"we live in a world where laws banning the word meow exist, and the SC can gin up a justification based on an exception just like if it was obscenity."

Neither of which have what I stated, "The prevailing opinions of the populace at large are legitimizing the idea ".

You can't even make a cogent counterargument because of how stupid you know it would sound.

Yes bitch, you're totally right, the Supreme Court never considers prevailing opinion and never gins ideas up out of nowhere.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAA HOW FUCKING STUPID AND NAIVE ARE YOU?

[Bo Cara Esq.]

You said 'the populace' meaning, incredibly stupidly, 'the world.'

China just banned 'meow'.

[Rebel Scum]

Surely calling someone a nigger is worse than showing a pair of tits.

I think both are innocuous. (or at least should be on the grounds that one is just words and the other is just tits.)

Also, consider that the State gov't has a monopoly on license plates and, by extension, what is on them. With this in mind, should they not make any and all customization options available?

[Agammamon]

According to our courts - tits are worse than nigger.

[Rebel Scum]

What about nigger tits?

I jest, but courts are not always right and are not intended to be the end all be all of what is moral or just.

[Copernicus]

which poses the age-old legal question:

How would the SCOTUS rule on a plate reading "tits trump nigger"?

How about nigger tits?

meaning, they (WaPo) didn't really scoop that something was fucked up before anyone else. They just closed for the kill when they realized that there were some problems with the reporting being reported elsewhere, and they had the resources to do the additional primary reporting.

[Rebel Scum]

He is making a Constitutional argument based on the Federal Constitution as opposed to State Constitutions. The first Amendment to the Federal Constitution states "Congress shall make no law..." in reference to the Federal Congress. State Constitutions may, necessarily vary on this. 14A is irrelevant to 1A in this instance because 1A is specific to the Federal Congress. He also states that he does not think that a State should define a State religion, just that they have the authority to do so (via Constitutional Amendment or original definition) whereas the Federal Gov't does not. Though I would not understand someone as dense as you to understand this distinction.

[Rebel Scum]

would not *expect*...

[Bo Cara Esq.]

"14A is irrelevant to 1A in this instance because 1A is specific to the Federal Congress."

That would make the free speech, assembly and exercise clause not applicable to the states.

[Rebel Scum]

That would make the free speech, assembly and exercise clause not applicable to the states.

And look at what we have stumbled on to. No worries, I believe all State Constitutions have a 1A equivalent that refers to the General Assembly of a given State.

E.G.

that the General Assembly shall not pass any law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press - Constitution of the Commonwealth of VA

One thing I want to know is how Jackie's story changed. Was it initially partly plausible and thus possibly an embellishment of a real event?

And how much of this story was Erdely's creation? Did she coach Jackie to spice it up? Or did they both decide to exaggerate?

I'm still pretty surprised how quickly RS gave up. Looks like they didn't really believe it let alone do much investigating. I mean they lied about knowing who the guys were.

Pretty clear that Erdely was looking for rape story and got a really nasty one and ran with since it suited her agenda.

Oh and will the AFI change their list of Greatest Heroes? Can't have that rape apologist Atticus Finch at the top.

[Bo Cara Esq.]

She's admitted she was looking for a rape story. She approached several women from several schools, but decided on this fantastic one in part because UVA was a 'genteel, public school' but also well known

[Irish]

She's admitted she was looking for a rape story. She approached several women from several schools, but decided on this fantastic one in part because UVA was a 'genteel, public school' but also well known

I read an interesting article earlier that pointed out how depraved Erdely's search for a proper rape victim was.

They mentioned that, in essence, Erdely had decided not to pursue stories on documentable sexual assaults because the circumstances were too prosaic and lacking in the narrative she wanted. Instead, she chose a case she could not document with a 'victim' who refused to even tell her the names of her alleged assailants.

This is quite literally the opposite of how a journalist is supposed to behave. I think it's unbelievable that Rolling Stone tried to put all the blame on Jackie when clearly the biggest villain here is Erdely. She should be fired immediately.

This is quite literally the opposite of how a journalist is supposed to behave. I think it's unbelievable that Rolling Stone tried to put all the blame on Jackie when clearly the biggest villain here is Erdely. She should be fired immediately.

Yeah, they should have realized that Jackie was lying. If she has mental problems then that means that they took advantage of mentally ill person and caused her more trouble.

[SIV]

Jackie is responsible for her actions as well.

[mauricegirodias]

I'd also throw in Emily Renda, the "activist" (and "survivor" of an unreported rape) who brought Jackie and Erdely together. Wouldn't be surprised if Renda took a damaged kid and coached her into telling the victim narrative Erdely needed.

Renda needs a career, ya know.

The Independents Attire Review, 5 December 2014

From Here to Fraternity-Edition

- Kennedy: Queen of the Nazgul-Kennedy chills us to our marrow with her ghostly-white presence hovering within folds of limitless blackness. We are clearly running out of shit to say about "Black". Is she making a chromatic allusion to the Black-Robed Justices? We doubt it.

- Matt: We've thrown out our view on the 'pink shirt/blue tie' thing: not our fave. We think lilac remains the idea pairing with pink, but sadly there's probably little we can do here to dissuade him. This pairing is a sad carry-over from the "Formula" days. We should simply be glad his wife probably burned that old suit.

- Kmele: I am always a sucker for Kmele 'doing it straight', and the charcoal blazer and maroon tie is classic-'classic'. The maroon ties are (like the purple) always victorious in my mind; however, we think Kmele's best-look with 'greys' are his monochromatic combos (layered shades of grey)... like what

- SUDERMAN:... is wearing!! We're glad we belatedly decided to do this, because Pete's super-sharp 'Mad-Men'-esque getup tonight deserves special props for overall sartorial victory. His last 2 appearances have gotten progressively better to where he's now rivaling Kmele for King Of All Dapness despite few-and-far-between opportunities. Pete takes the rare win.

Now that its a lie, instead of being relieved that there was no heinous gang-rape, they're pissed off because they didn't "bust the baddies".

Yes, he's so fucking stupid that he actually though that was a counter. No shit. He actually cannot tell what you mean when you tell him explicitly that there is no popular opinion to ban the meow, and that's why it's different.

He's so fucking dumb and blind that you actually have to explain it to him. And he still argues anyway.

The 'popular opinion' to ban hate speech is not US popular opinion you maniac. You are incredibly ignorant of how US law works; you've obviously heard some snippet about the influence of foriegn opinion on US law with no idea of the context.

Meanwhile in St. Louis, another Bosnian was attacked by a gang of youths

http://www.stltoday.com/news/l.....e56f3.html

Only this time apparently it was a "hate crime" (unlike the guy who was killed in a hammer attack), I guess because she said they used a Bosnian slur (which to be honest, I can't think of what that would be).

And also a story that didn't get national coverage (since the victim is white), but the highway patrol is being sued for drowning a guy who he had arrested. Basically the cop handcuffed him, then drove too fast and he fell into the water and drowned because he was handcuffed. To be fair, the cop did try to rescue him, but seemingly panicked and had little experience in water policing.
