Judicial Activism - "Compassionate Conservative" Edition

Unpaid parking tickets? That’s a strip search. And no leash on your doggie? That’s a strip search too. It might sound weird, and a wee bit terrifying, but that’s the verdict out of the United States Supreme Court this week.

    • Pat Denino Rachel Maddow reported on this last night. It is jaw dropping incredible how we are becoming such an increasingly callous, ignorant, and violent society.

    • George A. Denino 
      I do not see us becoming "an increasingly callous, ignorant, and violent society." What I see it a reactionary Supreme Court legitimizing behavior which has occurred "discretely" (i.e. hidden from public scrutiny or justified as "necessary to maintain order") throughout our history wherever and whenever the powerful have felt the need to keep the powerless "in their place."
      Carrying water for the rich and powerful is nothing new for the Roberts court. The 5/4 decision it handed down in the Citizens United case accomplished the same end for influence pedaling.
