What confounds is that Scalia and Roberts both talk about letting democracy and legislating take their course. And yet, they struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act which was a legislative victory for inclusive democracy.
pfft.

Fulton County just announced a mass wedding ceremony at 1 today at the government center in downtown Atlanta. I feel like I should be taking flowers or something, but I have a !@#$% medical appointment that had to be rescheduled to today because of incompetence.
Also, people have already been gay married today in Georgia and the sky hasn't fallen.

Oh, also: anyone who knows how involved clerks are in writing the decisions? Because I suddenly had this image of various clerks running around with thesauruses going "ooh! How about 'jiggery-pokery'?!? That sounds like something he'd use right?"

My issue is who cares if someone thinks you are a bigot or a big meanie? I mean, what? You own your opinions and if it makes people think badly of you? So be it.
In other words, not a sound argument for me.

I'm wondering if there will be a mass wedding ceremony at Pride tomorrow. That would be AWESOME.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I almost ended an email to my boss with BECAUSE FREEDOM. She might've understood, but I decided not to push the already-shaky bounds of my professionalism.
Today is a good day. I am still in my pajamas and I'm eating a hamburger. FOR FREEDOM.

But seriously, I wonder if Scalia is in the early stages of dementia. He used to make more sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So wait, what does it actually mean??
