No Restriction is Too Small - How the Supreme Court Enables Child Rapists

No restriction is too small for the Supreme Court to rule unconstitutional if it prevents a raped 9 year old from getting an abortion to cover up for her rapist. No restriction can be allowed to prevent minors from having abortions.

In all things, until you are 18, you are a child with parents who make decisions for you. You can’t get a tattoo, you can’t choose your school, you can’t get a credit card, you can’t even go on a school field trip unless your parents say ok. But if you want an abortion, and only if you want an abortion, are you suddenly charged with power to make your own decisions. This is the kind of judicial stupidity imposed upon society by the juristocracy.

Of course, the ACLU is trying to overturn this law. The heroes of freedom at the ACLU want to make sure that all child predators are free and clear when it comes to impregnating kids and getting away with it (* see footnotes). Planned Parenthood even glorifies young girls dating (and having sex with) older men on their own website for kids.

- Sources that indicate as the age of the impregnanted girl goes down, the age of the father goes up.

Google worth more than GM and Disney Combined

Drudge has been following the outrageous valuation of Google. You can see the charts here, but in essense, the market values Google more than GM and Disney combined.

The dot-com boom isn’t over folks, not with insane valuations like this. Google is a search engine, they have no theme parks, no factories, and so on. The dot-com bust was caused by crazy valuations that were realized to be myths. This valuation is that much more of a myth.

You Knew It Was Coming

Senators Avert Showdown Over Filibusters

You knew this was coming. 14 Senators (7 from each party) got together and decided how the filibuster thing was going to play. Many of the nominees will now get their nods and head to the bench. It’s unclear who will not get the nod, and the 7 Dems agree not to filibuster except in extreme circumstances. (Would that be if Clearance Thomas gets appointed to Chief Justice, what about if Alberto Gonzales gets nominated, who knows). I don’t blame them for cutting the deal, it was too easy for so few to get that many more cookies for having that kind of power on a heated issue. Not to mention the press time the GOP centrists will get with the liberals swooning over them, and both sides having what could be a face-saving out.

I’m not broken up about this too much. We’ll see how it plays but I would rather have actually SEEN a filibuster take place before all this went down. The true test will be what happens when there are Supreme Court vacancies, then we’ll see what this deal really means.
