Other decisions

Thinking about some of the other decisions the Supreme Court has just made.

Supreme Court strikes down Biden's student loan relief plan and limits LGBTQ rights

I don't feel too badly about the student loan plan being struck down. The government's plan would have cost over $400 billion dollars! I can think of so many other things that I think deserve more attention than student loan forgiveness. Why not help the homeless? Why not help those subsisting on Social Security? Why not help those who are crushed by credit card debt?

But I disagree with the court's decision on LGBTQ rights. It's another decision out of step with the beliefs of a majority of Americans, and is clearly the reactionary Christian court members allowing "their people" to discriminate against other citizens, not because of what they do but because of who they are. Who will it be ok to discriminate against next? Inter-racial couples? Jewish people?

It is no coincidence that these judges were appointed by Trump and are supported by Trump's Republican party in their decisions. They are a gun-loving, gay-hating, racist, misogynistic religious cult that's glued together by their shared hatreds. If they win the presidency again we can kiss our country goodbye.
