Saturday, 31 March 2012, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Readers routinely reminded not to READ FREE UNLIMITED NEW YORK TIMES' DIGITAL CONTENT SIMPLY BY SETTING FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" by later that year on April Fool's Day that is tomorrow in fact the Times already fired at least one executive over the "gold-plated" tens of million dollar porous "paywall" when it if anyone should have known that for a few million dollars of $100 bills lowered on pallets from helicopters the Times simply could have called Dick "Pig Heart" Cheney on the scrambled Batphone and had his "Blackdeath" boys go door to door to crack some heads and get the message out.
Speaking of April fools the Ninth Amendment moves on to the Justices haunting the once-hallowed halls of the Supreme Court where now Mr. Justice Thomas must be patted down for pornography or self-pleasure devices before entering the men's rooms out in the public area of the Court. Not to mention his lifetime bar from the women's rooms just like his Republican-expected extremely long lifetime appointment to the bench which he is giving up nohow since no one can make him do any work, and he hears from up there on the bench when he can understand what they are saying down there that it may be kind of hard to get another job in America these days.
In stark contrast Justice Antonin "Broccoli" Scalia sliding his words and the underclass unfortunate enough to slide legs apart down his razor sharp mind that shared an epiphany long ago that life/death/law it is all just economics. Sure does miss those pals of a similar bent from the University of Chicago school and the Seventh Circuit up there. Too bad Bork could not make the cut in 1987 simply because in his case as well it is not necessary to turn to the opinion to know the result, just the parties and/or the causes. Legal realism, economic style. If you have not got the bucks your "justice" decision on the case is a foregone conclusion. As is Mr. Justice Scalia's here with this what who cares Act rich people can pay for their doctors so how dare the Government tell them how to spend their money and the poor already have emergency rooms dammit.
The Ninth Amendment previously posted its prediction that the Court just because it found it essentially could ignore the United States Constitution (and that sure turned out to be a stellar idea) and in a day position a man for President who was not even elected, never to cite THAT decision again, now could take on this one too where the American people already clearly have spoken and having done so may not be so tolerant once again this time to have their and their families and loved ones health, welfare, and lifespans profoundly affected by nine spooks in black robes hiding up behind a bench that really is not that high. We could and did reach right over it as children just to bang the Chief's gavel.

Ninth Amendment Comment Published in Digital New York Times Regarding Mr. Justice Kennedy

Intellectually stimulating as it may or may not be to focus on the alleged jurisprudence of Mr. Justice Kennedy's apparent fascination with the concept of "liberty" (yes such as allows us to carry firearms in schoolzones) given the occasion of this most momentous week in this Court's history as it publicly considers the constitutionality of the ACA, perhaps we might just consider the shameful reality of the "Greatest Nation on Earth" not even providing basic healthcare for all. The Ninth Amendment log at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com observes that in the Federal Government every government worker gets health insurance from a list of about 100 plans which either play ball and provide reasonable healthcare or simply do not get to be on the list. We assume the Justices have at least similar benefits in addition to special attention wherever when needed. (If Mr. Justice Thomas is unwilling to use his provided mental healthcare but instead sit on the bench for decades manifesting some kind of semi-catatonic stupor, no doubt Mr. Justice Kennedy could find him at "liberty" to do so unless and until Thomas is removed under pertinent provisions of the US Constitution). So assuming the Justices are well aware of this excellent system already in place for millions, why agonize reinventing the wheel over the distracting din of obscenely well-financed biased filthy rich opponents who obviously care of nothing but their bottom line while Americans continue to suffer and die for no reason?
