You Asked For It, You Got It

This is what happens when you don't fully think through the long-term consequences of your vote for president...

In three separate 5 to 4 rulings, the highly political and conservative Supreme Court yesterday ruled...

1. That taxpayer money can be used to fund religious-based organizations, despite that pesty phrase early on in the Constitution about a separation between church and state;

2. That a banner held by a high school student off school property is not protected by free speech. (In fact, Justice Clarence Thomas went so far as to rule that primary and high school students don't have a right to free speech, period. What the fuck!?);

3. Took a radically right turn away from campaign finance legislation.

Can the United States really afford another four-year Republican presidential term? The blatant fascism of these guys should scare Americans to their very core.
