Supreme Court ruling of DOMA and Prop. 8 to be decided on 6/26 at 10 AM

The Supreme Court is a presidential joke. Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts. All Republican nominees. Who broke the tie? Kennedy? Really. This is the highest court in the land and it's still a slave to bipartisan dogma rather than being an objective pursuit of legal insight. If Supreme Court politics play an analogous role down the hierarchy to judge appointees than it probably runs the same way as it does in New York, judge bids remain primarily a political party play to keep the other party at bay and judges are nothing more than over-glorified lawyers who have been sanctioned to be at the beck and call to kneel at the sound of the horn for their greater master. I'm happy this passed. But the US Supreme Court still remains a bigoted power play for senseless bipartisan politics that is still preventing all three branches from making the objective and progressive reforms needed to improve the country.

[MENTION=6761]AzureKite[/MENTION] There's not much dialogue to be had about Snowden, other than him being an American hero. The worst that he should be charged with is a fine for breaking his non-disclosure agreement that he signed when he agreed to work as a private contractor for the NSA. Other than that, he's on the run and the news is gobbling it up taking a picture of where he's not. Like pictures of an empty airplane seat when he wasn't even boarding the plan. Stephen Colbert on his Monday coverage nailed the media perfectly.
