Yep. It's The Supreme Court Again.

If you think I'm paranoid about the Supreme Court, here's an example of why I'm concerned about the court's biased actions. In a nutshell, it's Alito. Justice Samuel Alito is the ultra conservative justice who is in the lead to bust unions and elevate corporations to that of a class above human citizens. Here's just a bit of background. The Supreme Court has a set of rules it agreed to follow. It's been in place for a long time. Rule number 14 states that the court can only rule on the questions outlined in the petition or fairly included therein. In other words, the court can't wander around willy nilly outlawing this or that or approving the other. The only decisions they're allowed to decide are those that are brought to them through the channels of lower court rulings and challanges. But Alido seems to feel he's above such narrow guidelines. A union case was brought before the court. Even several liberal leaning justices agreed this particular rule must be struck down. But Alito went farther. He demanded that unions could not charge nonmembers for negotiations on wages, a longstanding right. The four other conservative justices went along with him. Now whether you agree with this arrangement or not, it was not part of the suite brought before the court. Alito was in violation of rule 14. Does anyone think he cares? Based on his leadership in this assault on the rules, if you go to court to sue your neighbor for chopping down your fence, the judge could decide that your boat parked next to your garage is not an acceptable color. The point of the having rules is so everyone plays by the same rules. It now appears anything goes if your party is in control. I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to be non-partisan?
