Supreme Court

This is a movie, music and arts forum, so I don't want other
things side track or worse overtake. But dammit, the things the
Supreme Court is doing lately is scaring the crap out me. In the
sense thinking like movies. Are they being bought? The Koch
Brothers dictating this? A secret society running the show.
I'm just having a hard time accepting a lot of decisions coming
down lately
[glow=red,2,300]Hobby Lobby Ruling[/glow]
[quote]Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito,
Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy all ruled
for Hobby Lobby in the 5-4 decision
Funnyman Seth Rogen does not think that there is anything funny
about the recent Hobby Lobby ruling, and took to Twitter to
voice his opinions.
The comedian tweeted Tuesday, one day after the Supreme Court
ruled in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby that closely held for-profit
companies can be exempt from covering birth control under the
Affordable Care Act for employees and their families based on
religious beliefs.
“The people at Hobby Lobby are a—holes and those who voted to
let them be a—holes are also a—holes,” Rogen tweeted, with an
article from The Huffington Post that explained that the company
will still cover vasectomies and ****.[/quote]

The Hobby Lobby Ruling has exploded all over the place and
rightly so. People should be p*ssed and voice their opinion. But
will it matter in the end? I blame Obama. I blame him for
everything. I blame him for the Padres and Chargers sucking.
Man, I just wish I could go back in time when there wasn't an
Obama on the radar.

[glow=red,2,300]Must-see morning clip: Stephen Colbert and Jon
Stewart destroy the Hobby Lobby decision [/glow]
[quote]Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart missed out on quite a bit
during their two-week hiatus, including the Supreme Court’s 5-4
decision in favor of the craft store Hobby Lobby. The Hobby
Lobby decision stated that “closely held corporations” do not
have to provide contraception coverage to employees, if
contraception infringes on religious beliefs.
Each host had his own take on the “unanimous 5-4 decision,” as
Colbert called it. “Set your humping to dry,” Colbert joked,
given that contraception would no longer be covered. Colbert
explained that the court had ruled in favor of closely held
corporations and their religious beliefs.
“Oh, and it’s probably not a big deal,” Colbert added on, “but
they also ruled that corporations have religious beliefs.” Watch

[quote]Stewart had a longer take that involved going live to
correspondent Jessica Williams, who explains the “narrow” ruling
of the Hobby Lobby decision. The segment is interrupted by a
pants-less Jason Jones. Why is he without trousers? Well, his
corporation Jonsey Wonsey Has a Bonsey LLC has a religious
belief against pants. And you’ll see why. Watch below:[/quote]
