Well I can't quite say I laughed out loud, but I was certainly highly amused to hear this news. And don't get on my case about not respecting the dead, blame the absurd American electoral system. Because be under no illusions the US supreme court is a governing body. Having her life and death matter to such an extent politically is a ridiculous way to run a constitutional system.
The Republican caucus on the supreme court have played their hand brilliantly. The Republican establishment really cares about two things, tax cuts for the rich and the security of the Jewish state. They realised that both abortion and gay marriage could become electoral liabilities for the Republicans, hence the Republican caucus made sure there was and remains a majority for Roe-Wade and for Gay Marriage.
I hold constitutionalism in utter contempt. By constitutionalism I mean the anti democratic fascistic idea that there are timeless moral or constitutional principles that can and should be decided outside of the democratic system. Slavery, citizenship rules, abortion and marriage are all political issues that will always be decided politically what ever a farce of a constitution you have in place. Unfortunately in Britain we are ever keen to follow in the foot steps of American cretinism. Americans sure come up with some dumb ideas, but seemingly never too dumb for us British not to want to copy them.
