So, I just want to make sure I understand what’s going on: Jackie is still holding to her side, right? Has anything been decided in this case?

Read this response last night on another comment board: “Forced birthers claiming to be pro-life is like arsenic claiming to be table salt.”

And they’ll get blown out in court. I know, it sucks because it costs a ton of money and takes time for this shit to wind its way through the system. But tehy don’t have any legs to stand on. If we can get Hillary or Bernie in the White House, their SCOTUS nominees will destroy the anti choice movement. They truly…

Right, but the story of the Anita Hill investigation isn’t really about the failure to get Clarence Thomas’s nomination rejected. Sure, that may have been the reason the investigation took place at all, but ultimately, the story is much bigger than that. This isn’t a movie about how Clarence Thomas was confirmed to…

I worked on those hearings. The most common reaction I heard at the time was from people attempting to be moderate was, “I’m not sure I believe either of them, there’s a lot here that we don’t know.” My reaction was always, “If you don’t believe either of them then you don’t give a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court…

“one of the first times workplace sexual harassment earned the national spotlight”

I was in college when that shitshow went on. Anita Hill would have been unnecessary if the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee had had the guts to say “this is an unqualified, inexperienced, gives-no-answers-because-he’s-a-stealth-reactionary piece of crap, so no thanks” instead of trying to conduct a very untimely…

“HBO made this movie in an election year to support Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, which loves to claim that a mythical ‘war on women’ is underway by Republicans,” said Mark Paoletta.

So, MI decided to stop allowing abortion coverage for state workers, even though insurance companies wanted to cover it. Just buy an abortion rider on your policy, they said. Except no such fucking rider exists for any of the state health plans.

After reading All The Single Ladies by Rebecca Traister I think she provides a pretty good argument for why this is an issue. It’s an issue for them because something like the pill changes the fabric of society too much for their liking because women aren’t dependent on men when they can’t get pregnant at any time or…

You know... I may be reaching here... but these men do a lot of brain gymnastics to find a way to deny shit to women. A fucking PILL (or other forms) causes the white powerful men to lose their shit and take this all the way to the supreme court (over and over forever) just because they don’t want a woman to walk into…

“This makes me think that the justices don’t understand how insurance works. Full stop.”

My bet? He would have understood it, argued the exception perfectly and succinctly and this case would been over today. He wasn’t stupid and he wasn’t out of touch, but he was smart as hell and deviously clever in his opinions.

I have a better idea. Just make birth control free for everyone, all the time. You get birth control! And you get birth control! And you get birth control! We could solve so many problems at once.

They don't get it. They get the privilege of some of the best health coverage in the country due to their positions on top of their personal wealth. It's the same crap as Congress. They fundamentally don't understand how their experience with insurance in no way mirrors what the rest of us go through.

The vacancy is better then what we had. My bet is Scalia would have purposely misunderstood how insurance works, too.

I KNOW. IT MAKES ME NUTS.

I imagine there’s a LOT of things that people with that kind of money don’t understand.

This makes me think that the justices don’t understand how insurance works. Full stop. You don’t buy insurance for specific medicines and condition. There is no “diabetes insurance” that you specifically buy on the marketplace when you need insulin. You buy comprehensive insurance and the company is gambling that more…

This is why we don't want vacancies on the court.
