The court is wonderful when they scam through what one is wanting, but then they are evil when they find in favor of what you don't like.

So you don't believe in the ends justifying the means? Bully for you. But this isn't what your crabbing was about in your OP. You weren't talking about the implementation of the ACA...so why are you bringing that up now? You were crystal clear. I'm a hypocrite if I applaud the SCOTUS for their ACA decision and then turn around and say the SCOTUS is fucked up for their Hobby Lobby decision. It's crystal clear that your accusation of hypocrisy is based on this being flat-out liberal ideology having nothing to do with the actual facts of the case, the arguments and the structure of the decisions.
And I'm saying your suggestion that I'm a hypocrite is utter bullshit. Because I've been just as furious about decisions that were liberal wing decisions. The court isn't "wonderful" and the court isn't "evil". I like the decisions I like and I hate the decisions I hate. Excuse the shit outta me for having fucking preferences and opinions. The only way this can be hypocritical if it's based in political ideology. That's the only basis for your argument. There are liberal wing decisions that suck, and conservative wing decisions that I like. I don't know about anybody else on this forum but if you're talking to me, your accusation of hypocrisy is a load of crap.
