Let Freedom Ring, at Least for Now

Recently the Supreme Court of the United States of America handed down some rulings.  It is, by precedent now, illegal to try to fix discrimination with more discrimination (which is the plain truth about what the euphemism "affirmative action" is) (Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College) , illegal to foist more debt upon the U.S. taxpayers by the mere whim of a President (Biden, President of the United States, et al. v. Nebraska et al.), and illegal to compel someone to express themselves in a way dictated by someone else (303 Creative LLC et al. v. Elenis et al.).

On that last point, what did Elenis et al. think, that there is a cabal of Web site designers who are conspiring to keep them off the Web?  Move on!  Find someone else, it shouldn't be that difficult.


English is a difficult enough language to interpret correctly when its rules are followed, let alone when the speaker or writer chooses not to follow those rules.

"Jeopardy!" replies and randomcaps really suck!
