Stupidities and thieving I read about yesterday.

So the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the First Amendment yesterday, saying that the law would muzzle free speech, and:

"In Tuesday's pornography ruling, the court majority said that the federal judge who initially blocked the Child Online Protection Act six years ago rightly found that the law was probably unconstitutional."

Hmm, we just can't tell what is Constitutional or not- I wonder if it is because the Constitution is stupidly considered a "Living Document" by the blundering, stealing, bleating asses we have for most of those in the legal, governmental, teaching and political class (damn! I despise having to call them a class). And to think, that these are the same “nine old men� that told us that the Incumbent Protection Act To Muzzle Dissension is constitutional...

Also related to the word of the government that you know you can trust, we read that the SCOTUS will decide if John and Jane Doe, "the couple, former citizens of an Eastern bloc nation," who defected at the request of the CIA and who promised life-time support to the couple, and which now says that they have received enough compensation for the CIA's requested act of treason, can even sue the CIA.

However, speaking of thieving, it appears that the, oh-so hard hit profession of teaching in Texas, has found another way to stuff their pockets with the gold of others! There was a loophole, that was eliminated today from the Social Security laws, that allowed teachers (I refuse to use the word educator) to be hired by their school districts, just for a day mind you, as manual labor (e.g.- a janitor) so that they can double-dip into monies that they truly never paid into because of their private retirement funds.

The retired principal, of the Richardson West Junior High Technology Magnet School, Margie Nancarrow, had this to say:

"I think I've provided for myself, saved some money for the future," she said. "I hate to leave any money on the table."

I just should have rightly said that the thieving guild and it sub-chapters were stealing again yesterday, as usual, and left it at that.
