After these last couple weeks I’ve come to find that the US Constitution is very similar to the bible, in that, if you want to be a hateful, vitriolic dipshit, it can be interpreted to prove whatever perverse conclusion you want. While this is nothing new, and was most notably exercised to justify slavery in this country, the christian rights’ insistence on pushing their values on others is no less infuriating.

Even though the first amendment begins with, ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion’ it is very clear that the current Supreme Court will be ruling as a fundamentalist christian entity. The decision on Roe appears to be only the first target in its crosshairs, and represents a landmark decision in that it takes away rights from millions of people rather than advancing them.

With that being established now, their final day of rulings had to include an attack on the environment. All of god’s creation, something christians care so little about, really brings into question the role they see for their creator. How could you possibly think that a loving god came down and created this beautiful planet, and didn’t have any expectation of taking care of it?

The decision at the end of this July fourth freedom week is a big victory for coal, yes, that old boyfriend you never thought you’d hear from again. For the court to rule that The Environmental Protection Agency does not have to the authority to regulate industry and protect the environment is so absurd that it’s as if they are prepping for a banana republican open mic night. 

Remember when Obama said that Miami was flooding when the sun was shining? That was seven years ago, and four of those were under the rule of a president who put a former oil executive in charge of the EPA. Climate change is real, like hell apparently, and we appear to be moving closer to that temperature with every stroke of the pen from this group of Salem wanna-be jurists.
