I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

9-0 rulings are pretty rare and are SCOTUS' way of bitchslapping you.

Yeah, and it sounds like it was well deserved.

Not a terribly significant decision, when all is said and done. I'm surprised it even got to SCOTUS.

I think the recent ruling that made part of the PATRIOT act unconstitutional is just a bit more significant, even if it isn't SCOTUS.

Which ruling was this (the Miranda one)
'After 9/11, it was "You're with us or your with the terrorists." Now its "You're with Straha or you support racism."' ' - The Romulan Republic

'You're a bully putting on an air of civility while saying that everything western and/or capitalistic must be bad, and a lot of other posters (loomer, Stas Bush, Gandalf) are also going along with it for their own personal reasons (Stas in particular is looking through rose colored glasses)' - Darth Yan
