Even Supreme Court’s Biggest Dicks Decline To Help Pennsylvania ****



Congratulations, Pennsylvania! You won! Now try not to riot!

Oh, we’re not talking about the football — we leave the sports commentating to Dame Peggy Noonington.

We’re talking about Justice Samuel Alito refusing to swoop in and save Republicans from the scourge of having to run in fair electoral districts.

How even can you have an election if you don’t let the representatives choose their own voters?

UNFAIR!

If God didn’t want the GOP to take 70 percent of the seats with only 50 percent of the vote, would He have blessed them with computer algorithms and **** that can produce works of art like this?



And yet, two weeks ago, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court held that gerrymandering “plainly and palpably violates the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”

They ordered the Republican Legislature to work with Democratic Governor Tom Wolf to submit clean maps by February 15.

But just in case the GOP dragged its feet, the Court hired its own expert and started coming up with un-**** maps on its own.

Try not to faint, Wonkers. But the GOP actually did drag its feet. A LOT.

First they filed a **** appeal to the Supreme Court, asking them to please make an exception this one time and rule on an issue of state law.

They also asked Justice Alito to issue an emergency stay to the Pennsylvania Court’s order to redistrict before the 2018 elections.

Which as of just now, he refused to do, either because he saw that the argument was ****, or because he couldn’t round up four other justices to agree to issue a stay.

Then the GOP claimed the decision was illegitimate because some of the judges who struck down the maps had taken campaign donations from Democratic and labor PACS and had spoken out against gerrymandering on the campaign trail.

Which caused Democrats to dig up campaign donations to the dissenting judges, including $25,000 from a PAC supporting Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, a named Defendant in the lawsuit.

Which all sounds gross and corrupt, because it is!

This is what happens when you make your judges run for election.

But we digress!

The most egregious **** that the Pennsylvania GOP pulled was refusing to turn over data on current electoral districts to the Pennsylvania court.

Scarnati sent a **** letter to the Judges:

In light of the unconstitutionality of the Court’s Orders and the Court’s plain intent to usurp the General Assembly’s constitutionally delegated role of drafting Pennsylvania’s congressional districting plan, Sen. Scarnati will not be turning over any data identified in the Court’s Orders.

And the General Assembly said it just plum wouldn’t have no data for the court until after the 2020 Census.

Reports that House Speaker Mike Turzai was conspicuously scratching his forehead with his middle finger during the court appearance could not be independently confirmed.

We have no idea whether these Keystone patriots will turn over the district data to the Court now that Justice Alito told them to take a hike.

If they don’t, will the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issue contempt citations and throw them in jail?

Will the good people of Pennsylvania take to the streets and start burning ****?

LOLOL, yes to that one!

Okay, Pennsylvania Wonkers, please storm the comments and tell us what is going on in your state.

Your FDF lives next door in RoFo country (that’s Royal Farms for you tourists) and she is most interested to find out what’s happening out west in the land of WaWa and Sheetz.

Oh did we catch them in the act!
They are very embarrassed.
They never thought they were going to be caught.
We caught 'em... It's so much fun.
We're like the great sleuth."

Speaking about the Nunes memo today in Ohio.
The people behind him look like they have no idea what he was talking about.

I wonder who means by 'WE?'
He and Nunes?
Did he just admit that the WH was working with Nunes on the memo?
Hmmm.

At the moment all you parrots got is word salad.

But by all means, goose step along like a good little Nazi.

Zieg heil, right?

Under Pressure from Fox News, Obama to Stop Making Stocks Plummet

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—One day after the Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity blamed him for the historic plunge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, former President Barack Obama agreed to stop making stocks tumble.
“Sean Hannity has accused me of making the stock market go down,” Obama told reporters on Tuesday morning. “All I have to say is, ‘Guilty as charged.’ ”
A visibly chastened Obama said that, at first, he thought that he had gotten away with making the stock market crash, but when he saw Hannity blame him on Fox, “I knew I had been busted.”
Obama offered scant explanation for why he had made stocks crash on Monday. “I guess since leaving the White House I haven’t really found enough ways to fill my time, so tanking the stock market seemed like something to do,” he said. “But I know that’s not a good excuse. The fact is, I caused a lot of folks a lot of pain yesterday, and for that I am very, very sorry.”
