Oh, so this is to settle an argument with a friend: which TV show is better?

Should I have dissented in the Civil Rights Cases?

THIS TIME IT'S REALLY OVER. SERIOUSLY. NO JOKE. IT'S DONE.

Gosh darn it!. Again, I was the only one to dissent. One guy recuse himself this time, so I guess that's almost progress. Yea, it definitely is. Mountains and mountains of progress. Increasing cynicism FTW!

Can you believe it? They said that the facilities could be separate, as long as they were equal. Well, gee willikers, that's just wrong. The facilities can't be equal, because people are racist in the South and will make sure they won't be. And even if they are, we can't work together to make this country a better place for all if we can't even associate with one another! Blacks can now be kept out of all their favorite places, and I don't like that one bit! In the somewhat modified words of Samuel "Screech" Powers: "Last time the Supreme Court made a wrong decision, this country wound up naked on bus to Canada!"

And by the way, I don't care what any of those Jersey Shore haters out there say, the Situation is SO FREAKING COOL. And yes, I voted in my own poll twice.

Ok, it's still not over…sorry

Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't posted in 13 years. Kinda slipped my mind. You know, I'm a busy guy, doing all that Supreme Court stuff. Yeah, I bet tons of my followers missed this blog. Just look at how many followers I have in the sidebar!

We heard a really important case today. It's called Plessy v. Ferguson. It's about segregation of races, and whether or not it's constitutional. I say, according to the 13th and 14th Amendments, it isn't, but before I explain why, you should know more about the case. Louisiana made a law, the Separate Car Act, that made trains within the state segregated. However, a bunch of people formed a committee, and pooled some money to test the constitutionality of this act. They chose Homer Plessy to do it, and now here we are.

I think it's unconstitutional because you're forcing someone to sit in a specific seat on a train! And only because the racism of white people. Obviously, blacks are going to be treated worse. Oh well, I suppose there's nothing I can do but…sigh…dissent again. Maybe I can actually make a difference!

Oh how naïve I am.

IT'S ACTUALLY OVER

I've written my dissent! Shoutout to my awesome wife, who helped me through it! She baked me cookies, cleaned my clothes, gave me inspiration, all that good stuff. Yeah. She's pretty cool. So anyway, guess what? I was the ONLY dissenter. I can't believe that everyone else thought the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was unconstitutional! I mean, ex-slaves need those laws! Without them, they aren't gonna be treated fairly! Oh well. I guess everyone else in America is just plain stupid. And don't even get me started on our government! I'm still sore from the monkey incident with Ulysses S. Grant. But remember, my fellow bloggers and readers: Fight on! We must fight to make public places equal for all races! (that would be a pretty good song lyric right there) After all, my main men B. Franklin and J. Adams, did ot intend for equality in private and legal matters and not in public! AUTOBOTS (colored supporters), LET'S ROLL.

IT'S OVER!

I've decided to dissent. I'm kind just chilling out right now. Getting ready to write that dissent. It's not like I'm procrastinating or anything for any reason. And you BETTER not get the idea that I'm nervous or anything. I'm just chilling with my boys! Having some fun right here. I definitely DO NOT have a crippling fear of going against my entire heritage and becoming incredibly unpopular all in one fell swoop. No sir. And hey, anyone see LOST last night? Pretty intense…

HELP ME.

It begins…

So, this is my first post! Well, anyway, I suppose I should get started:

We heard the last of the Civil Rights Cases today! I don't entirely know what to think about the whole thing. On one hand, I want to side with good ole Southern heritage. But on the other hand, those people seemed so nice, as innocent as a cute little puppy dog, and what I've done in my life has caused them so much trouble and violence already…

Oh, what is a Supreme Court Justice to do?
