That is obviously a very old stone ship anchor dating back to the time of god flooding Mars.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Eight out of nine of them went to law school at Harvard or Yale. Those ivy league universities are the gatekeepers of power in this country.

Any word on legacy admissions? I mean, it’s preferential treatment of a minority, innit?

He's probably not wrong-ish. The airtight (legal) defense against any accusation of conflict is that these justices were a reliable vote for asshattery regardless of whether or not some billionaire would also pay them to do it. They only pump shit their way because they already know that. If there were any question..they wouldn't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Mike ‘The Worm Who Walks Like A Man’ Pence says affirmative action is no longer needed, because his three kids are college graduates.

Well, the Supreme Court ruled businesses are allowed to discriminate against protected classes now. Remember when the Maga crowd use to whine about "activist judges"
