Supreme Court Ends Session

Seemes like a cool cartoon to me, anyway.

Well, we are relatively safe until the end of September.

two good cartoons

The first one is somewhat clever, but not so the second.

It's intersting that when Liberals want to create derisive charactatures of conservatives they tend to rely on images that suggest base stupidity and cruelty : The Caveman and The Executioner (or is he The Tourturer?).

Not sure what SC decisions this term suggest the images of The Puritan or The Bishop, but perhaps someone who found this cartoon really funny could explain.

What images do Conservatives use to portray liberals?

The Tarot's Fool might be appropriate, but I doubt it would be widely appreciated.

Homoerotic images are currently taboo -- and rightly so!! It is far more offensive to call someone a Fag than a Caveman or Sadist!

Which, in itself, is interesting. If homosexuality is A-OK (if not preferred), why should anyone find it offensive to be so labeled?

The answer, of course, is that the use of "Fag" implies the dread characteristic of HATRED (not to mention INTOLERANCE).

Of course comparing someone to a trogladyte or a torturer implies only a clear and correct wit.

Curioser and curiouser.

PS; I am a poor speller and cannot access spellcheck via this Blackberry - please forgive me.

I agree. I liked the first one, but the second and the third are brute propaganda. The kind of garbage Republicans usually dump in the Bush Aftermath Threads.

The second one is, as has been noted, brute propaganda. The reason it plays well, is not so much the decisions made recently by the court, but it indicates a SC tip of the hat to the constituency wanting to return fully to those things.

The present Supreme Court, as a group, is one of the most antedeluvian and reactionary such groups in several decades. Not since the days of the Waite and Fuller Courts (late 19th-early 20th centuries) have so many wrong-headed decisions been handed down in short order. These folks seem to be in close touch with the current (and recent) GOP administration policies, but sadly out of touch with the spirit of the times and the prevailing public opinion.

Spirit of the times? Prevailing opinion?

How do you define both, and upon what do you base your opinion?

The public put a Republican president into the White House for two terms.Presumably some of the voters realized Bush got to appoint SC justices, and that one or more would probably need to be replaced.

The Democrats could have philibustered the two Bush nominations, but they didn't. Do you really think that if they thought the Spirit of the Times and Prevailing Opinion were dead set against Alito and Roberts (neither being a conservative in liberal's clothing) that they would not have held firm in opposing them?

Your assessment of the current Court is predictably hyperbolic. Let's discuss the various individual decisions, shall we?

You and your confreres are mistaken to think that the Dem's recent rise to power in Congress is some sort of sign of a Liberal Restoration. Look at their approval rating. Is it an indication of a renewed of an American love affair with Liberals, or that the current Dems aint Liberal enough?

Another silly cartoon.

Cartoons are only funny if they exaggerate, and yet so many see them as representations of reality.

Oldie but goodie
