Scientific American delivers a scathing article about the theologists holding the majority in the US Supreme Court. It’s so good, and so tightly written, that it’s difficult to pull an excerpt without wanting to also include the lead in and follow up. I’ll tempt you with some opening paragraphs, but the article is brilliant and deserves to be read.

“In five instances, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion confused nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that contributes to ozone formation, with nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.

You can’t make this stuff up. This repeated mistake in the 5–4 decision exemplifies a high court not just indifferent to facts but contemptuous of them.”

The Supreme Court’s Contempt for Facts Is a Betrayal of Justice

Latest comic: The Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron doctrine was largely overlooked in the wake of the debate, but possibly even more apocalyptic. In short, the Republican majority gutted the precedent that gave deference to scientists and other experts at setting regulations for air and water pollution and food safety.

Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council (1984) May Get Overturned

Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce seek to overturn Chevron, a foundational decision, which places strict limits on unelected federal judges’ ability to make policy decisions for the entire nation. Chevron has been cited by 17,000 lower court decisions, and it would cause a “flood of litigation” that would result if all of these decisions were called into question.

Designer in Supreme Court ruling cited client who denies making wedding site request

Smith named Stewart — and included a website service request from him, listing his phone number and email address in 2017 court documents. But Stewart told The Associated Press he never submitted the request and didn't know his name was invoked in the lawsuit until he was contacted this week by a reporter from The New Republic, which first reported his denial.

"I was incredibly surprised given the fact that I've been happily married to a woman for the last 15 years," said Stewart, who declined to give his last name for fear of harassment and threats. His contact information, but not his last name, were listed in court documents.

He added that he was a designer and "could design my own website if I need to" — and was concerned no one had checked into the validity of the request cited by Smith until recently.

So The Entire Case May Be A Giant GOP Fraud Play To Force A Decision
