I don't think you read the article. It was the liberals on the court who did this, not the conservatives.
This is a day when we need to do a little bit of introspection. People here who blame this on conservatives are just sheep. Their thinking is, "this is bad therefore conservatives did it." I'm sorry guys, but the world isn't that simple. Sometimes we have problems in our own house.
We need to realize that sometimes the people we admire and respect don't have our best interests at heart. The "liberals" on the court screwed us over today, and they did it because they look down on us, they don't care about our homes or our property.
Face facts: the liberal side is the wrong side _on this one issue_ Break ranks with progressive leadership, join with conservatives on this one issue, and have this ruling overturned by constitutional amendment! Petty bickering, which is what I see this thread devolving in to, (as evidenced by the post I'm responding to) is exactly what they want us to do.
But, you're not going to do it, are you? You're going to keep on with the rhetoric, "the CORPORATIONS like walmart want to make this a FASCIST country run by SHRUBYA!!!111oneone"
go ahead and keep saying that shit. It's working out really well and helping to get a lot of things done.
