Bigot Harry Jackson Gets Pimp Slapped By Supreme Court

Instigator of Intolerance Bishop Harry Jackson was dealt a fatal blow to his efforts to force a repeal referendum on the question of same gender marriage in Washington DC today when the Supreme Court refused to hear his case.

The District of Columbia back on December 15, 2009 passed same gender marriage legislation on an 11-2 vote and it was signed into law by then DC mayor Adrian Fenty.

Bigot Harry Jackson and his right wing friends have been anxiously trying to kill it ever since, especially in light of the fact the state of Maryland is prepared to take up the issue in this year's legislative session in Annapolis. 

Jackson filed a lawsuit against the District's Board of Elections and Ethics after it refused to put an initiative on the ballot that would repeal the DC marriage law.   The board cited the 1977 DC Human Rights Law in ruling that the ballot question would in effect authorize discrimination.

The D.C. Appeals Court, the federal court that rules on District of Columbia matters, issued a 5-4 decision in July allowing the board of elections' action to stand.  But the Supreme Court, without comment, declined to take up the Jackson v. D.C. Board of Elections case.

It requires four justices to agree to hear a case before it is placed on the docket.

Now that the Supreme Court has legally pimp slapped him again, he can scurry back to his Lanham, MD megachurch and prepare to put more miles on his car running back and forth to Annapolis trying to fulfill his role as a drum major for injustice.

Christopimpin' ain't easy is it Harry?

Break Out The Constitution-New Supreme Court Term Starts Today

It's the first Monday in October, and that means another historic Supreme Court term started today with Justice Elena Kagan joining the court.

It's the first time in American history that three women have sat on the Supreme Court and hopefully an African American woman will join them one day to counteract Clarence Thomas acting as Antonin Scalia's ventriloquist dummy.

Since Kagan was Solicitor General, any cases that show up on the Supremes docket this year she'll have to recuse herself from, which lends itself to possible 4-4 deadlocks on some issues until the cases she litigated finish percolating through the federal court system.

Kagan Confirmed To Supreme Court

The Supreme Court official photo at the beginning of the term this October will be even more diverse this fall.

For the first time in US history there will be three women serving on the Supreme Court at the same time with the confirmation earlier today of Elena Kagan to the court.

The 50 year old Kagan becomes the fourth female justice in US history and the 112th Supreme Court member. She was confirmed on a 63-37 vote with all except one Democrat (Ben Nelson-NE) voting for her, both independents and five Republicans.

She'll be sworn in on Saturday.

The ideological balance still remains 5-4 conservafools, which is one very cogent argument for an Obama second term.
