SCOTUS

I always thought that acronym sounded dirty. But in general, I think I have a healthy respect for the Supreme Court. When the U.S. was just getting started the Supreme Court was able to establish itself as a crucial balance to congress and the president. Of course, they have made quite a few terrible decisions over the years, but they have also gotten it right a few times, too. Overall, though, I have not felt too good about what has been going on there, especially after the 2000 election nonsense. And when you hear about how arguments like these are going, I really start to wonder. Don't they realize that extracurriculars are essentially mandatory for any college-bound students? Oh right, I forget, children shouldn't have rights, even though it is OK to punish them as an adult. Obviously that is the best way to learn about responsibility.
