I wish there was some kind of legislation where someone puts forth things that will obviously get struck down has to pay all costs personally.
Like a corollary to SLAPP suits.
Conservatives on the Supreme Court:
Amy:
What even is the "First Amendment"?
Brett:
Pass me the ass drugs and my boofin' kit. I'm feeling like denying some basic rights tonight!
Sam:
Surely, some 13th-century South American tribal justice will have some insight into this!
Clarence:
Dudes, my pubes are huge! Plus, I got a date on a yacht with my man, Crow. He's got a list of my latest bills to pay off, and I need a couple done by Friday.
Neil:
Whatever, guys. Just tell me what way to vote on this. Coming up with "textualism" or whatever the hell that means is getting harder.
John:
Just like racism, all the hatred for whatever this covers has magically disappeared, and this law should stand. Excuse me while I go look at my scrap book of 2000 and all the fun we had with chads.
So they only want freeze peaches if it is to further vile and hatred?
Yes.
