I read somewhere a while ago that courts overruling and interfering with the lawful decisions of duly elected governments was a common first step in South American revolutions that end up turning their countries into communist dictatorship shitholes. Just something to be aware of. Fortunately we don't have to worry about that in Canada, we have a duly elected government working towards revolutionizing us into a communist dictatorship shithole, :)

Sad isn't it.

The important phrase is 'lawful decisions'. The role of the courts is to enforce the laws as written. If an elected government enacts a law that is unconstitutional, then of course it should be overturned.

Thankfully the supremes told the lower courts they were full of merde.

How to treat Trump and his supporters - Shame them, shun them, and show them the door.







Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin, a staunch conservative and never-Trumper, wrote a column, “Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the lost art of shunning,” in response to the Red Hen incident of last week (and which Trump stupidly tweeted about today), which should give the Republican establishment pause. A clip:
Unsurprisingly, the restaurant confrontations became a source of debate on cable television. On CNN, Ana Navarro tartly observed, “You make choices in life. And there is a cost to being an accomplice to this cruel, deceitful administration.” So, are these reactions to Trump aides reassuring and appropriate acts of social ostracism that communicate to the cogs in a barbaric bureaucracy that they cannot escape the consequences of their actions? Alternatively, should we view these as a sign of our descent into incivility, evidence that we are so polarized we literally cannot stand to be in the same room as those with whom we disagree?
It depends on how you view the child-separation policy. If you think the decision to separate children from parents as a means of deterring other asylum seekers is simply one more policy choice, like tax cuts or negotiations with North Korea, then, yes, screaming at political opponents is inappropriate. Such conduct is contrary to the democratic notion that we do not personally destroy our political opponents but, rather, respect differences and learn to fight and perhaps compromise on another day. If, however, you think the child-separation policy is in a different class — a human rights crime, an inhumane policy for which the public was primed by efforts to dehumanize a group of people (“animals,” “infest,” etc.) — then it is both natural and appropriate for decent human beings to shame and shun the practitioners of such a policy.

Republicans all upset about restaurant rejecting Sanders but rejoiced when a bakery rejected Biden. The hypocrisy is palpable:

Proven Fake News

Biden was never refused service. Biden's staff wanted to use the store for a media event and the store owner said that he had a differing political opinion. Even the store name is incorrect, the name of the store is Crumb and Get It.

So again... fake Democrat Liberal Propaganda.
