The Supreme Court Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry

Dig this map of state government trifectas. Red means the state has a Republican governor and both legislatures. Blue is Democrat, grey is split.

Transgendered rights, it turned out, wasn't a winning argument.

Of course, we've got an opening on the Supreme Court now and a bunch of geriatric liberals as well.

Gasp! The horror! No wonder they're rioting in Portland.
