A couple people mentioned this video at Open Thread last night: Are you an aspiring tea party protester looking for high quality markers to draw Hitler mustaches on President Obama? Can't spell words like fashism or soshulism? No problem. Crayola has colors so bright and patriotic, no one will ever notice!

This lovely bit of comedic satire was brought to you by The Full Ginsburg.

Another excellent offering from The Full Ginsburg.

BTW I love the term "full Ginsburg," which means appearing on all five Sunday News programs on one day, named after William H. Ginsburg...Monica Lewinsky's lawyer. Cool trivia.

Womenstake:

As we've previously discussed, on May 29, 2007, the Supreme Court issued a decision that severely weakens remedies for employees who have faced pay discrimination. The case, Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., was decided 5-4, with Justice Alito writing the decision. Justice Ginsburg took the unusual step of announcing her strong dissent in the courtroom.[..]

The good news is that the Supreme Court's decision was based on its interpretation of Title VII-meaning that Congress can tell the Court that it got it wrong.

People For the American Way has a petition for you to sign to urge Congress to support legislation to correct the decision.



SCOTUS Disinformation Alert!

Craig Crawford: "There is disinformation out there claiming that Clinton nominees, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, refused to answer right-to-privacy questions in their Senate confirmation hearings. Both answered some questions, and refused others. But in Ginsburg's confirmation, she clearly told senators she favored a right to abortion (and the Equal Rights Amendment). The right, she stressed, should be grounded in a constitutional right to privacy and in the 14th Amendment's "equal protection" clause...read on"

Craig exposes the obvious tactic the right will employ so Roberts can refuse to answer questions on his positions and further muddy the waters on how the Senate proceeds in their investigation of him.
