This Supreme Court appointment is really throwing the liberals on reddit into a tailspin. Only a matter of time until one of them shoot up Republicans again.

My eyes are literally bloodshot red from crying for the last hour, and I just threw up from the stress. I can't believe we lost again. The president sexually assaults people, the Republican in Montana bodyslams people, this bitch in Georgia refuses to let women with breast cancer get treatment, the Supreme Court is literally a reich-wing controlled group now, the president is going to put Chelsea Manning back in prison, unions are no longer allowed to exist, that hero leaker Reality Winner is in federal jail, and now Drumpf is going to have the Supreme Court declare anything that isn’t orange unconstitutional. And the worst part is people still vote for them! It's happening. We are in 1930s Nazi Germany combined with 1940s Facist Italy and 1960s Soviet Russia. We must resist.

Fuck you Barnie Sanders! Fuck you for running as a democrat. you are an Independent, run as that and stay out of my primary. Fuck you for not stepping aside when it was clear you were not going to get the nomination. I don't fucking want hear anything about the DNC, I don't fucking care anymore. Fuck you for splitting the vote and handing the presidency to a know nothing, thin skinned, racist, homophobic, sexist, demagogue, autocratic, fascist whiny little bitch. Fuck you and your Barnie or bust crowd. You sold out this country. Now that little bitch in the White House gets to appoint a second Justice to the Supreme Court. Quick aside, Fuck you Mitch McConnell. So goodbye gay rights, safe abortions, universal suffrage, civil rights. Fuck you Justice Kennedy, you don't get to just quit. You are a Supreme Court Justice and as such are the last check we have against runaway authoritarianism, and you want to retire? NO! You don't get to watch the rise of American fascism and concentration camps for kids and think too yourself " I should spend more time with the family". Fuck you, you irresponsible traitor.

UK heterosexual couple wins civil partnership discrimination case

Quote

A British heterosexual couple who objected to the "patriarchal" institution of marriage have won a legal claim for discrimination because civil partnerships are only available to same-sex couples.

The UK Supreme Court ruled in favor of the couple, Charles Keidan, 41, and Rebecca Steinfeld, 37, who argued the law on civil partnerships was incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Announcing the decision, unanimously agreed by all five justices, Lord Kerr noted that the UK government did not attempt to justify the different treatment for same-sex and heterosexual couples. "To the contrary, it accepts that the difference cannot be justified," he said.
Civil partnerships in the UK were created in 2004 to enable same-sex couples to have their relationships legally recognized. The law gave couples almost exactly the same legal rights as civil marriage, save for a ban on on using religious texts in the commitment ceremony.
Same-sex couples have been able to marry in England, Wales and Scotland since 2014. But the law on civil partnerships was not changed, allowing gay couples to choose between a civil partnership or civil marriage. Keidan and Steinfeld argued the law was therefore discriminatory.
During the hearing, their barrister Karon Monaghan QC told the court they have "deep-rooted and genuine ideological objections to marriage" and were "not alone" in their views," the Press Association reported.
She added that matrimony was "historically heteronormative and patriarchal" and the couple's objections were "not frivolous."

The couple's legal bid was previously defeated at the Court of Appeal in February last year, but they were later given the green light for this week's Supreme Court hearing.
Wednesday's ruling does not automatically give heterosexual couples the right to enter into civil partnerships, but it puts pressure on the UK government to to change the law.

This is great IMO
