SCOTUS now on the Wall of Idiots
As curmudgeonly as I am, I like people. Human beings are amazingly smart and we have been so for a long, long time. (See here.)
But (and there's always a "but"), I created the Wall of Idiots section for a reason.
Ideology makes fools of us all and, it turns out, the Supreme Court is no exception. (See here.) It turns out that SCOTUS is not only aiding and abetting environmental destruction when it appears before them, they even seek out opportunities above and beyond the call of duty to do so.
A good friend once said to me that life wasn't some sort of trial run. The natural world isn't either. It's the only one we have-- unless you believe in some fictional utopia that lurks just down the road.
Of course, if there is such a place, I bet it's a gated community and the SCOTUS justices own condos.
But the environment, like disease, doesn't recognize economic and national borders. You'd think smart people, like the justices, would understand that.
