Quote of the Day -- SCOTUS Edition


“[T]he Court’s opinion can hardly be described as an exemplar of restrained and moderate decision making.  Quite the opposite. Hubris is a fit word for today’s demolition of the VRA.”  -- Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, in her dissenting opinion following the Supreme Court's gutting of the VRA today in Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder et al.

UPDATE:  With these cases being decided by assholes restrained and moderate jurists like this,  what's the big deal?
