So, out of morbid curiosity, has Rall posted his attempt to make Charleston about him yet?

"The ONLY TRUE WAY to destroy racism forever in America is to enact the full communist revolution, under the glorious leadership of myself, Ted Rall. Check and mate, you're welcome, America. :smug:"

I mean it's almost true but Rall is so drat smug and unlikeable you feel dirty just being in the same political movement as him, that's why he's on FOX all the time.

ACA means you have to buy health insurance or you pay a fine for not having it; healthcare exchanges at the state and federal level provide subsidies to offset the cost, and even then there are hardship exemptions for people for which the cost of health insurance would be more than 8% of their income. You can either get these through a state exchange or a federal one for the states that refused to set up an exchange. A conservative think-tank engineered a lawsuit to take down the ACA based on that and shopped it around for some plantiffs to attach to it. They're saying that the IRS is illegally allowing people access to subsidies through federal exchanges and according to the law those should only be on the state exchanges which means 1. anyone living in a state without a health exchange should be automatically exempt from the ACA fine and, 2. federal exchanges should no longer offer subsidies. The lawmakers who drafted the bill insist that that was never the intent of it, and the plaintiffs show no actual burden from the ACA. One is about to qualify for medicare, two are already exempt under the hardship qualification, and all of them would see some benefit from a subsidized plan through the exchange. The court threw out the lawsuit for the bullshit it was which in McCoy's world, and I guess Muirs, means someone had some dirt on the justices. Sheep-loving dirt.

He's a really lovely Jew, we also have teachings against holding hate in your heart, bigotry to your fellow man, cruelty to downtrodden people, and even if you believe yourself in some kind of equal war between Israel and Palestine the Jewish faith praises mercy and compassion to its foes.

There's no religion in history that hasn't managed to sneak around the 'mercy and compassion' thing.

D. T. Suzuki's apologia for Japanese soldiers who follow Buddhism (written in 1938) : "For it is really not he but the sword itself that does the killing. He had no desire to do harm to anybody, but the enemy appears and makes himself a victim. It is as though the sword performs automatically its function of justice, which is the function of mercy..."

Basically, weapons kill people, weapons are tools, people use tools, and if the person uses the weapon then someone dies and you can't blame the person.

There's another bit where he says (paraphrasing) "In a war, the other guy is a soldier, soldiers kill people, and there is a law against killing, so if we kill him then we have enforced the law against killing people and in fact it is not the soldier killing him but the concept that we shouldn't kill people that kills him." I can't find that exact quote though.

He was writing about the Japanese occupation of China that included the rape of Nanking.

Most religions teach those things. Most people that follow those religions only do those things when they feel like it and make excuses the rest of the time.

How exactly does the SCOTUS function? Is it half staffed by Bush-era liches who are empowered by misery and/or Koch Dollars, with a single guy as the swing vote? Does it ever not make 5/4 decisions or whatever?

Kennedy is often a swing vote, but Roberts has been known to side with the left-wing justices too, as in the recent 6-3 decision upholding Obamacare subsidies. Thomas is an originalist, a quirky constitutional philosophy that means he typically sides with the conservative justices but for his own reasons. Scalia's angry dissents are the funniest part of the current Court; in his gay marriage dissent two years ago, he said (paraphrase) "this would set a precedent to legalize gay marriage across the country!" A number of lower circuit courts then cited him in decisions legalizing gay marriage. I'm going to be overjoyed to read his dissent soon, assuming the upcoming Obergefell ruling is a win for marriage equality.

In fairness to JJ this is literally every single Canadian Cabinet though. There's a convention of ensuring diversity in Cabinet stretching back to when that meant Protestant/Catholic. It's one of the last major restraints on executive power.

Say what you will about JJ but this cartoon isn't wrong at all.
It's also true of Stephan Harper of course. How do you think Bec Oda got her job? It wasn't because of her competence.


Besides every single proposal JJ mentioned would be disastrous if implemented so I'm actually on his side for once. Say what you will about Harper, at least he's not trying to change the first past the post system.
