Blogging the Supremes

The Supremes Court tossed out some more hits, but none of them were a single.
The File Sharing call was the right call legally, but that’s only because the law is very much wrong. Our government shouldn’t have passed a law that benefited an industry that refused to work with the nascent file sharing industry to make things work and have everyone make money. Napster when Metallica came after them should have been the industries bridge to settle these problems. Instead it caused a rebellion in their consumer base.

This is similar to the ruling on the Cable Internet industry ( thank you comcrash) the cable companies have far to little realistic competition but the law was pretty clear here to and the court played to the law, although the law was dumb.

But the Ten Commandments were the big issue. While largely apathetic to the whole thing I found it very right calls in both rulings but I wished their was some way to make a cohesive philosophy our of it.

Kentucky tried to pull a fast one. Had Kentucky put up the display they have now in the beginning, the ruling would probably be different. But they tried to back door it in and use it to pat themselves on the back and work the voters. I hate it when politicians try to grease the voters, but I hate it even more when politicians whore out god to grease the voters.

Judge Roy Moore may end up governor of his state because he has whored out religion to grease the masses into voting for him. He hasn’t went out and gotten things that made their life better he played into religious fear mongering. We as a society need to think “what would Jesus do” and remember how Jesus turned out the money changers and all the people cutting a profit in god’s house.

That is why we needed to boot down Kentucky. The Texas case it was a monument had stayed around until the ACLU went all militant on it. It is the same wingnutism but in a qlipotthic nature as the actions of Roy Moore. And the court was right to shoot down their zealotry.

Now we just wait to see who resigns from the court, and how many.
