Even though I get paid 50% more working in employment discrimination I’d much rather be spending my Wednesday night working for KNF. It’s becoming quite clear to me that inmate rights are my calling. This stupid employment case is a struggle, but I’m glad I know it now.

proof that justice scalia can't differentiate...
JUSTICE GINSBURG: General Verrilli, can we - can we go back to, Justice Breyer asked a question, and it kind of interrupted your answer to my question. And tell me if I'm wrong about this, but I thought a major, major point of your argument was that the people who don't participate in this market are making it much more expensive for the people who do; that is, they -they will get, a good number of them will get services that they can't afford at the point where they need them, and the result is that everybody else's premiums get raised. So you're not -- it's not your -- your free choice just to do something for yourself. What you do is going to affect others, affect them in -- in a major way.
GENERAL VERRILLI: That -- that absolutely is a justification for Congress's action here. That is existing economic activity that Congress is regulating by means of this rule.
JUSTICE SCALIA: General Verrilli, you - you could say that about buying a car. If -- if people don't buy cars, the price that those who do buy cars pay will have to be higher. So you could say in order to bring the price down, you are hurting these other people by not buying a car.

If you’re in Chicago and protesting treyvon Martin is the first youth violence protest you’ve cared about you can go fuck yourself. Protest for self affirmation is violent in and of itself.

One man I don’t know did something horrible to me on a train this morning. But little did he know I have 4 of the greatest men in the world in my life. My father, my boss, my best friend, and my boyfriend. The only words he spoke to me were: what are you gonna do about it? I couldn’t answer this morning. But now I know the answer: Learn. Grow. And be continually grateful...
