Oh, Come on Supremes.

What the fucking hell is wrong with the Supremes?

Today's decision was a disgrace. Canada Customs has been out of control, and a bookseller that has been our 'point person' in fighting their homophobic and anti-freedom crap has been told that if they want to fight the Canadian government with it's bottomless pockets in court, they have to do it out of their own pockets.

Little Sisters during it's best year ever made a profit of 25,000$. A court case that goes to the Supreme Court can cost up to 2$ million.

Canada's New Government recently cut the program that once upon a time paid for challenges like this. The Court Challenges Program was a smart and useful idea. What killed it was the fact that it was based on a single ideology. Here's where I stop vilifying the Courts for a decision that was bad from a political point of view (I haven't read it, so it may be OK from a legal POV), and rip into the politics....

Tech update

Urrgh. Dead laptop. Not too fun, but hey, it happens. Which led me of course to get A: a new computer, which inevitably leads to B: other stuff discovered during the process of upgrading.
