    Money is speech.

    So shut the fuck up, peasants, and let the people with money talk.

      Bribery is just argument by other means.

      Clarence Thomas’s concurrence on the case they take after this one.

        Man, I really thought the court would get slightly less insane and evil when Scalia died, but Thomas has just gotten wild with it. It’s like scalia’s ghost just left its body and decided to double bunk inside of Clarence.

          What if Scalia was the one holding Thomas back and Clarence was the one who shot Scalia with the ice bullet containing the heart attack serum that killed him?

            Scalia was the one holding Thomas back

            That’s a scary thought…though judging by how disgusting Scalia was I think Thomas may just be doing all this in solidarity. Something a kin to pouring one out for the homies, but for the world’s worst people.
