The last time I read something that made me feel quite this flavor of incandescent was a decade ago, in law school — it was Scalia’s dissent in Lawrence v. Texas. In fact, as I recall, I had to stop reading it before I finished I was so enraged, and the only thing that I could do to salve my anger was to comfort myself with the knowledge that it was, in fact, a dissent.
Thank you, Guy, for this post. This is a story USA Today should be ashamed of. Really ashamed. Dare I hope your comment somehow makes them think?
This is absurd and your rage is justified. Our culture is addicted to endless punishment.
This is why I refuse to look for a job. I'm content with collecting SSI until either I die or the USA collapses.
