Heh. I actually read the whole thing, carefully, and took notes. I loved the way Rand stacked the deck. For instance, if she believes A, but I might happen to believe B instead, she’ll say things like, “You must not take the cowardly short cut of holding that B…” Never anything rational, like, “Some people might believe B.” Everything has to be tautological. A very “Hobson’s Choice” variety of philosophy, given her lip service to freedom and individual liberty.
It’s worth reading in a forensic sort of way. You can see the corpse of actual rationality, dismembered and strewn about after a violent attack of insane emotional anguish.
Its the one filled with brittle, ironic sophisticates who are totally blasé about another Super Bowl win, and don’t what a can of cream of mushroom soup looks like.
Meanwhile, Darrell Issa has demanded that a federal court, whose workers are on furlough because of a shutdown he voted to create, require said employees be ordered to come in and work without pay in order to expedite his argument that “Fast and Furious” (remember that? Ah, 2010. It was a simpler time) is all Obama’s fault.
[QUOTE=Judge Jackson]
There are no exigent circumstances in this case that would justify an order of the Court forcing furloughed attorneys to return to their desks. Moreover, while the vast majority of litigants who now must endure a delay in the progress of their matters do so due to circumstances beyond their control, that cannot be said of the House of Representatives, which has played a role in the shutdown that prompted the stay motion.

So on January 20, 2017, when President-for-Life Obama takes the oath of office the Chief Justice will say, “Do you swear to uphold the Constitution and faithfully execute the laws of the United States of America?” Obama will reply, “I Yabba-dabba-Do!”
