I don't even understand how that can be.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I just do not even. how?
this illegal activity is protected free speech. human trafficking can be protected free speech? and if that is too far, I would argue that coercion MUST be protected if bribery is.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm trying not to wish bad things on the conservative justices, and just stick to wishing for something that causes one of them to need to retire.

Our wings are not tired.
A couple deciding to retire would be better.

I don't think it's considered bribery if there's no proof that Company A gave Senator B X amount of dollars to specifically do Z. Generous general donations in exchange for a future consideration is in the grey area, even if they've had conversations about what Corp A wants to see happen.

Sigh, I will have to go look at the decision I guess, but that sounds bad.
on my way to the LL Bean outlet, I found there was an actual Hobby Lobby store, but I wasn't curious enough to stop in to not buy anything.
My mom pointed one out when we were out shopping, where the Tower Records was back in the day. I didn't tell her not to shop there because they are evil, because I don't think she would shop there anyway and, really, kind of an inconvenient location.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't understand what's confusing for you guys -- corporations are people and money is speech. I mean, obviously!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I thought this ruling was about individual donors, not corporations. Am I confused?

Oh, I don't know anything about what's going on in the Court, just stating some Truths.

You have to say "my friend" somewhere in there, Jesse. Maybe a couple of times?
