FIRST MONDAY IN OCTOBER

   It's that day again. The day when every county court judge recalls all the great things people said about them at their investiture and they dream of the day when writing           "Wh & cc" becomes "the petitioner's writ for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court is hereby DENIED!

It's the First Monday In October, when, by tradition, the *Trump Supreme Court convenes and meets for the first time of the year after the summer recess. 

Here's a neat article by retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, who, apparently had so much free time whilst serving on the Court that he was able to read the correspondence of Chief Justice Hughes during the construction of the Supreme Court building and learned that the words engraved above the entrance "Equal Justice Under Law" was not plucked from some learned decision by Justice Marshall, but was in fact added by the construction company because...steady now...it fit!

So what's on the docket? Glad you asked.   

The Right Of The President to Order The Artillery Shelling Of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. "If the President thinks a simple bombardment of a city that mocks him is necessary for national security, who are we to stop him?" wrote Justice Kavanaugh in accepting cert. 

The Right Of The FDA to Ban Painkillers.  Colloquially called the "Suck it up baby" case, the Court examines whether the right to effective pain management is written anywhere in the *Trump Bill of Rights.

The Right Of The FDA to Ban Antibiotics.  Similar to the previous case, but with some significant differences. Justice Alito fought to accept the case, employing the close scrutiny analysis of "Do you know what's in that stuff these doctors give you? Neither do I, and thus it should be banned."  This case has achieved a certain amount of notoriety because of the  leaked email of Justice Sotomayor, who wrote Alito "Are you out of your ever-loving F'ing mind?"  The case is being called the "Return America to the Dark Ages" case, where science and scientists are once and for all rejected by the Supreme Court. 

The Constitutionality of the Congressional Funding of the January 6 Heros Monument. In a move that surprised most court watchers, the Court agreed to examine the bill authorizing the federal funding of a monument to all of the people who stormed the US Capitol on January 6. "Re-writing reality is a fundamental part of what we are being told to do by the President" wrote Justice Thomas, in arguing to take up the case.

The Ban The EPA case, is also causing some excitement. "Who created the EPA?" asked Chief Justice Roberts. "Nixon!, And if that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the fake pollution and global warming bill of goods we have been sold for decades, then nothing will. Dumping fun chemicals in drinking water should be left to the solid and good discretion of the companies who have made the chemicals in the first place." 

 And finally 

The Criminality Of Running For Election ,  case looks closely at the right of the President to order the arrest and indictment of "certain individuals running for election."  Justice Coney Barrett (motto: "The name is Coney, NOT Comey...") wrote that "With the wrong people running for election, we get elections stolen like what happened in Georgia and Pennsylvania and Nevada in 2020." 

So there you have it. With some slight exaggeration, this is the state of the law in our country in 2025. Welcome to the dark ages, shepherded in via the mumbo jumbo of six people with no backbone, pride, or common sense. 

Let the shelling of Sheboygan and other renegade cities begin!

Ready. Aim....FIRE!
