Supreme Court hat trick!

 

The Supreme Court hit the Grand Pooba three hard blows on Friday.

The first was the torpedoing of the student loan bailout,  It seemed pretty obvious to me.  A mere president cannot move billions of dollars around on his own,  Congress has the power of the purse, not the president.  A president is not a king.  He can say whatever he wants, and shout about executive orders all he likes, but at the end of day, not a penny moves without the consent of Congress. Basic civics and separation of powers.

Then affirmative action was host down as it was revealed the the University of North Carolina and Harvard had engaged in blatant discrimination against both Asians and whites.  Everyone deserves a chance and a equal opportunity.

And finally, free-enterprise capitalism triumphed over wokeness as a Colorado web designer, who had worked with the LGBTQ community decided  she did not want to design sites for gay marriages.  After the state government of Colorado tried to intimidate her, it went to the US Supreme Court and wokeness lost.  The point of having a business is to be able to run it as you see fit.  Again, why did this have to go to SCOTUS in the first place?

Nonetheless, fundamental freedoms were preserved and we have to remain vigilant to keep them.
