Today's Supreme Court has turned its guns on we the people
The Supreme Court doesn't give a rat's patootie about you and me..
Today, Republicans in the Senate sent a bill approving the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline to President Obama's desk. President Obama has repeatedly said that he will veto that bill, and we can expect that veto later today or tomorrow.
After all, despite claims from Republicans and Big Oil, the pipeline wouldn't create American jobs, wouldn't lower fuel prices, and wouldn't make the United States more energy secure.
Of course, even if President Obama does veto the Keystone legislation, that doesn't mean the fight is over.
The State Department still has to rule on the pipeline, and theoretically, the pipeline battle could find its way to the Supreme Court.
And, if it does end up in the Supreme Court, we almost certainly know how the conservative justices of the court will rule.
