#case law of god

[shinobicyrus]

This week, Supreme Court Justice Samuel "goes on expensive fishing trips with republican megadonors" Alito decided to use an official Supreme Court order to once again rail against same-sex marriage and the entire concept of safeguarding queer rights.

It was all in response to a case the Supreme Court declined to hear involving the dismissal of 3 potential jurors who claimed that they had been unfairly passed over (yes they're complaining about not being selected for jury duty) due to their religious beliefs. The case involved a woman who was suing her employer for sexual discrimination and retaliation after she started dating the ex-girlfriend of a male coworker. The 3 potential jurors that had not been selected had stated a belief to the court that homosexuality is a sin.

Rather than commenting on the obvious bias three potential jurors had against a party in the case, Alito instead spent five pages ranting about the sheer injustice that had been done to them. The case, he said, fully exemplified the "danger" that he'd predicted back in 2015, when the Supreme Court had legalized same sex marriage nationwide (in a slim 5-4 vote, I will remind):

"Namely, that Americans who do not hide their adherence to traditional religious beliefs about homo-sexual conduct will be labeled as bigots and treated as such by the government."

Again this was a case in which a court ultimately decided that maybe people who believed that homosexuals were sinful shouldn't sit on a case in which one of the parties was one such "sinner." That sounds pretty fair to me; they didn't call them bigots, or evil, or throw them in jail. The court just decided that maybe they weren't a good fit for that particular case. For that particular plaintiff.

But no, a Supreme Court Justice, someone who is supposed to be a scholar of law, turned it in his mind into a government assault against "people of good will."

Never forget how narrow that marriage equality decision had been. Never forget Alito and Thomas are still salty about it 9 years later and have stated in public multiple times they want to revisit this decision. Just like Roe, just like Miranda Rights, just like the Voting Rights Act - they will gut civil rights and established precedent on the altar of their Originalism and make us beholden to the tenets of their personal Gods.

And they're doing it in public too, so they can signal to everyone who thinks like them to keep trying, you have friends here. You have a sure chance of victory.

At the very least, the lesbian with mad game won her case.

#Samuel Alito is still an Originalist Piece of Shit #Supreme Court #US Supreme Court #Homophobia #Religious Liberty #is just just draping your beliefs with a cloak of righteousness #where are court cases against cities that make it illegal to feed the hungry and homeless? #where are the court cases against Texas or Florida about the dignity of refugees? #why does ''Religious Liberty'' always mean ''My right to treat people like Less Because God Says So'' #and nothing about values Jesus actually talked about? #all they want the law to do is protect themselves and THEIR interests - and bind everyone else #Christian Nationalism #Originalism

finally finished her! Enkidu, Who Seeks the Sun, a thoroughly insane illusion wizard who has some real weird religious beliefs. she's a backup character in case ___ dies in the campaign they're in

#ham art #dnd #furry #leonin #enkidu #in case ur wondering abt said beliefs #she believes that the world of faerun is an illusion created by some greater power aka a demiurge #and that the gods of the world she's in are either fools or liars in league with said demiurge #she wants to break this illusion by acquiring a philosophers stone #a legendary stone that has been theorized to exist by those of her order and which breaks the laws of this illusion #whether any of that is accurate is up to my dm lol.

I feel like every review of the Barry series finale that's like 'it was just meh...' is intentionally missing the point cause if they actually had to confront 'hey we as a country venerate service members to an insane degree when, just like normal people cause that's what they are, some of them are bad people. we will jump through hoops to absolve any wrongs these people commit. the police do get it massively wrong sometimes. justice is not always dished out. and we will make a butchered spectacle out of a tragedy for ticket sales.' they wouldn't get many clicks.....

#the way law enforcement overall were portrayed through the series alone I have not seen really talked abt anywhere #but GODDDDD like Janice was ~one of their own~ and they're all still so incompetent and stupid they can't even get her case right #like this show is screaming at you that this dude is PEAK delusional at the end #that's not what god wants for me #Sally tells him. to his face. if he wants to be absolved. he must take responsibility for what he's done. #but he doesn't. and he's absolved anyway. cause they twist his story to fit the #brave marine doing the best he can narrative #when really he killed his friend who was *also* a marine. he killed a lot of ppl. and never took responsibility. #and let's not even touch on how Noho Hank and Christobal are ENTIRELY written out of and forgotten #in the new narrative the movie makes. like those pesky queers further ruin this sterling service member triumphs over evil tale #I'm *obsessed* at this point idk. I've had all night to ponder cause I was up sick all night 😞 #hbo barry #hbo barry spoilers

do you ever think about the fact that the entire phoenix wright: ace attorney trilogy happens because gregory edgeworth dies.

#I just… that one event… is the reason for everyone else #gregory dying is the reason miles moves away and eventually becomes the demon prosecutor which is the reason why Phoenix starts taking law #classes and Gregory dying is the reason why the fey family’s name gets sullied and is the reason why misty hides away which is the reason #why mia starts looking into the dl-6 case which is the reason she becomes a lawyer which is now she meets Phoenix which is when he sees how #much faith she puts in her clients and how it saved him which is why he fully switches to law and becomes a lawyer. and the whole reason mia #met Phoenix is bc he met dahlia Hawthorne and the entire reason he met dahlia is bc he just happened to be at the courthouse at that #one specific day bc he was doing personal research into the law bc he kept seeing miles edgeworth demon prosecutor and he wanted to save #him. and the entire reason dahlia was there was bc she was cleaning up lose ends from the fawles case which only happened bc her father left #her mother and took her and Iris away. and he left their mother bc she was Morgan fey and her power and influence was gone bc 1. she was #simply the lesser sister and 2. her family name was ruined and power was the only reason he was with her. and so her left and took his #daughters and remarried and dahlia convinced him to leave Iris behind and then. and then. and then. #just. GOD it’s so insane. the Phoenix Wright trilogy is SO well written EVERYTHING is connected #anyway. sometimes I think about the fact that the entire series happens bc gregory edgeworth is killed. and I go insnae. #also I love a good Gregory lives au as much as the next person. and like. would miles have ended up so much more well adjusted? #probably yeah! but literally NONE of these characters would be the same if he lived. god. it’s crazy. #ace attorney #ace attorney trilogy #Phoenix Wright #miles edgeworth #Mia fey #Maya fey #gregory edgeworth #phoenix wright ace attorney #manfred von karma #franziska von karma #dahlia hawthorne

Bepo :“brother meet my boyfriend!”

Zepo: *staring at the sack of spite and skin that makes up Law* “I’d say you could do worse but, this just may be worse.”

Zepo would approve but very begrudgingly. (Him and Law do not get along, like the cattiest in-laws imaginable) idk I think it would be funny.

YEP

hes really really not impressed... as a pirate he is worldly enough to be okay with humans but at the same time? choosing one as a lifelong partner? and its not even a woman????? (dont tell him what bepo's role is...altho he would probably guess if he thought about it too hard. but zepo wouldnt because why the FUck would he wonder how it goes between them)

zepo: damn i was hoping that you'll cover for the settle down find a good bear girl and make some cubs for mom to be happy while i go off adventuring and do none of this shit BUT YOU WENT AND DID THE SAME DAMN THING AS ME

its very funny to think about because inside bepo are 2 wolves one is valuing zepo's opinion and the other is BEING SO PROUD THAT HIS CAPTAIN CHOSE HIM AND FEELING THAT ITS WAY MORE FIT FOR THE CAPTAIN TO BE ASHAMED OF HIM AND NEVER THE OTHER WAY AROUND - those expectations crash against the wall of zepo's judgement and trad values...he wouldnt expect his goofy little brother to pull this shit and yet there they are. human. seriously...

tbh law being the captain at least gains him some points (law voice: jee thanks) at least if its a human its not a nobody its the most important human on the crew

also thinking more - law and zepo are not types to pretend to get along and be friendlier than need to be (cuz 1- it just not in either of their natures 2-bepo would call them out too quickly) but they are not antagonistic either. zepo didnt have much expectations towards bepo he wont lie and law always has a hard time to be mad about petty things when bepo is all over him

#mangyraccooon #loving law and being proud of him is the wolf that wins in bepo of course #only difference is while in other cases he can feel a swell of pride in his chest when law introduces him...but when he is the one having #to introduce law. and its to the least impressed audience? it stresses him out he feels bad that his brother isnt amazed by law #law has to comfort him about that its not his fault that its a different culture #esp ridiculous considering that topic is ''im sorry captain my brother isnt blown away by you'' which is insane to law #noone has to be. especially family #dear god hes grateful he wasnt completely rejected <- law wont ever admit that he was a little stressed #lawbepo

The something between us we don't talk about,

It's a normal thing for people in love to question what kind of relationships do they have with the people they have romantic feelings for. And so it's normal when they want something more, something bigger than just watching this person afar and talking like friends and nothing more.

And there are two solutions: confess to the person you like, or bottle your feelings and pretend like relationships between you are enough for you... but pretend doesn't mean be, right?

[ Warning ] : spoilers for episodes seven, eight, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

　

The discovery of Doh Young-Choon being switched was something very painful for Ga-On since he was convinced: the system is just and will punish the conman; but when something he had to believe into turned out to be a lie, he was stunned and returned home.

Then, after a few days, Yo-Han suggests going back home, and Ga-On doesn't mind. But what he doesn't like is the reason behind his return: Yo-Han excuses himself with Elijah and her being anxious, so Ga-On lowers his eyes and sighs; however, he still comes back with Yo-Han the same evening and even waves at Elijah with a sincere smile on his face.

In the kitchen, Yo-Han's shining like a star on the Christmas tree, while Ga-On’s mood doesn't change much after he figured out who was the Elijah who missed him; he doesn't say anything, as usual discussing with Yo-Han their plans and thoughts while drinking coffee.

　

Talking about as usual: the ending of episode eight when Ga-On took Yo-Han’s side officially, is another beautiful example of how much the show hides the true motives in emotions instead of saying them out aloud.

Ga-On takes Yo-Han’s side officially, and they’re standing on a bridge both looking at the night version of Seoul; this is when an important conversation takes its beginning: Yo-Han turns back since he was one step ahead, and Ga-On turns his torso to Yo-Han, showing him he’s all ears.

The first phrase is Yo-Han’s “do you regret it?” and Ga-On’s answer of lowering his eyes; and since Yo-Han got to know some Ga-On’s expressions and their meaning by spending countless some time with him, he nods and starts listing advantages of being on his side. Ga-On lifts his eyes at “I’ll promise you one thing,” but pretty soon lowers them again, after not hearing what only he knows he expected in his head.

So while Yo-Han lights up the whole Seoul with his contentment of Ga-On taking his side officially, Ga-On tries to quickly make another reason for him helping Yo-Han. And finds it: fighting with the wrong world; and when Yo-Han accepts it, proudly lifting his head with a satisfied look in his eyes, Ga-On turns back to him for the first time after a while.

And even though officially their agreement was based only on revenge and will to change the wrong world, the first clause of their partnership was them becoming a family; so no wonder they started to act like a married couple — because they were, even though it’s written with invisible ink.

What we else don't see is Ga-On’s reaction to Yo-Han inviting Sun-Ah to their his house in episode eleven. We just see him cooking a whole banquet dinner for a guest and him being ready to interrupt and stop every small hint of flirting between Yo-Han and Sun-Ah.

But when Sun-Ah comments on him blending into this family perfectly, Ga-On starts to literally shine: he widely and sincerely smiles, being all proud and pleased with the fact of him looking like he always was there; but the moment Sun-Ah says she's envious of Yo-Han for being not alone anymore, Ga-On raises his eyes at Yo-Han with a clear sadness in his gaze. His mood drops, and the one moment he smiles after this little talk is when Ms. Ji appears in the kitchen.

Maybe it's when Ga-On understood that being colleagues and taking down the higher-ups together is good and all, but it's not what he wants. Not when it comes to Yo-Han.

Because in the same episode, just a bit later we hear Ga-On's "once this is over, I'll definitely..." when he is with Soo-Hyun in a famous restaurant. He's in a good mood, smiles, and jokes a lot that even Soo-Hyun notices the changes that happened in her friend; and maybe it's the moment Ga-On started to think about his confession to Yo-Han since he already knows when he'll tell him how he feels.

Because Yo-Han’s plans are pretty clearly shown in episode ten, in the scene of Yo-Han building a house of cards right after they caught Doh Young-Choon: he doesn't know how many floors the building will have, but what he’s more interested in is bringing the whole thing down; Ga-On lowers his eyes, thinking about something only he knows.

And when Yo-Han acts as if he’s about to put the house down, Ga-On shudders; Yo-Han says that Ga-On thought he would destroy the whole thing, Ga-On just smiles, proving his assumptions.

Note: even though the original scene didn't look like this, the original script still has Yo-Han saying “(to me) it’d more fun to bring the building down.” So we can assume that even in the original script, Yo-Han still wanted to destroy the house of cards in one movement instead of taking avenge on his enemies slowly.

But Cha Kyung-Hee shoots herself at the end of episode eleven, and the plan starts to fall apart since it lost the main key; then, everything related to Ga-On's sanity falls apart as well. For the first time since episode eight, Ga-On drinks soju. Like he did before he officially took Yo-Han's side and threw all the years of Professor's lectionaries; now he sits all alone, drinking a few bottles and being aggressive towards annoying fans of the show.

Ga-On calmed himself down: he'll wait until Yo-Han finishes his avenge. He'll talk about his feelings after this all will be over; but now, the situation is blurred and unclear, so he attempts to talk about them now, provoking and asking in what kind of monster he turns into. But Yo-Han talks only about their destroyed plans, so Ga-On’s gaze fades, even though a minute ago it was full of hope.

So the second Yo-Han starts to say that Ga-On had to cut Soo-Hyun out of his life to save the world, the decision is already made. But when Soo-Hyun starts to say that she doesn't care about what is right and what is wrong; when she talks about how she only needs him, he hears the words he wanted to hear from Yo-Han a few days ago.

The outcome we see in Soo-Hyun's case is Ga-On kissing her and her being shocked by his actions and not responding to it in any way; the outcome in Yo-Han's case is Ga-On taking away Yo-Han's hand from his shoulder and claiming that Soo-Hyun is his world, leaving pretty soon afterward.

— As in addition : the confession scene in episode thirteen... the whole speech was made for Yo-Han from the very beginning. He might have changed some parts of it to match their relationships with Soo-Hyun but the most important parts and words were all meant for Yo-Han.

First, the way how his expression when he says he wants to like her forever and that he was scared he would ruin everything is so similar to the one he had in episode ten when he was defending Yo-Han. The same smile, the same warmth in the eyes which quickly vanishes the moment he talks about their friendship in particular and him not wanting to be alone.

Second... as it was noted in @b612sunsets's gifset, the confession pretty well describes their relationships with Yo-Han, fitting in perfectly.

P. G. Wodehouse: when Archie Moffam was eleven years old he carried a dog three miles to take care of its sore foot. a woman was holding him at gunpoint and trying to force him to go to jail and make it look like he was cheating on his wife, and rather than take an opportunity to run away from her he stopped to help her dog with rheumatism. a stranger once gave him a piece of sausage in the war and upon meeting him by chance in the street Archie repaid him by rescuing him from homelessness, getting him two different jobs, and indirectly fixing his amnesia and reuniting him with his wife. he risked his own already flimsy position with his father-in-law attempting to help a working-class Italian waiter who barely spoke English and owed him nothing get better pay and hours, and when it didn’t work he helped the waiter and his mother get both money and a modicum of revenge. he adores his wife and calls her the “queen of his soul” and in the scene where he’s being held at gunpoint says he would rather be shot dead than break her heart. all this despite being a clearly-traumatized veteran of the First World War who was an officer for five years and was noted for his courage despite his higher-ups’ hatred of him. despite his family kicking him out of England the moment he was demobilized. despite his father-in-law blaming him for things that aren’t his fault and refusing to accept him no matter how hard he tries. despite this, Archie Moffam is so fundamentally full of love.

some reviewer on Amazon: yeah I couldn’t get into Indiscretions of Archie because he had no likable qualities and his wife shouldn’t love him as much as she does

#red randomness #indiscretions of archie #wwi #p. g. wodehouse #archie moffam #I still have five chapters to go #but Christ I am not normal about this book #people will really say Wodehouse is apolitical when he wrote Archie telling his father in law #‘this man fought for your country in the war and is living on the street and you (a millionaire) won’t even give him a place to sleep’ #like yeah it’s not a perfect book (what is?) and I didn’t love the sexism in the story about Bill’s gf #but that is probably a factor of the book literally being written in 1920-1921 #and yeah the book is mostly a comedy (and often a very funny one) #but jesus god in Heaven was not expecting this sort of thing when I started it #half afraid to finish the book in case Archie stops being a friend and ally to the proletariat #but fingers crossed

um. not like no one talked to me about it before i started studying social services but turns out that the child protective services course is a bit difficult to handle actually. like its actually kind of rough especially for students with a history of experiencing the Horrors themselves. apparently

#its mandatory even though i know i cant personally do that kind of work because. You Know. but like we have to read a book about the most #infamous cps case in finnish history for the course and like its very clinical and not graphic or gratuoitous at all but still #its important because it changed the cps law and system etc etc but god.

im so completely obsessed with the loz au byler concept every single post of it I see I HAVE to reblog and then I'm in the tags losing my mind in all caps and then the post just says something like "I think a zelda byler au would be neat"

#this post prompted by the last one I reblogged where I realized that was critical disaster in the tags actually #the post: “which version of zelink does byler best fit?” me: “IT'S SKSW AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS” #remember when wiseatom made a post that basically just said “thinking about a botw byler au” #and I actually honest to god got our mutuals in law to get them to unblock me so I could reblog it 10 times #and be like “YES I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT TOO” like that was insane behavior actually what is wrong with me #usually when people lose it about an au post the post is like. detailed. I just see the words “loz byler” and I just black out #so yeah. #anyway. I think I'm the originator of loz byler so most people probably?? associate with me #but in case anyone doesn’t I need you all to know that I'm loz byler person #if any of see an loz byler post make sure I see it if you have something to say say it TO ME #loz byler

disclaimer: these are not identical, the rest of these tracks don't bear much similarity, and they are obviously taken out of context. here is the mummy track, and here is the omashu track if you want to listen to them in full. i'm admittedly ignorant of non-western musical traditions - this could be a common motif, or the two composers could be pulling from the same source of inspiration - but it certainly is interesting that the only bit of the natla soundtrack that has stood out to me so far is the part that just so happens to sound like a jerry goldsmith OST 😐

#i'm frankly weirded out by this a bit #and inb4 anyone gets on my case: i think intellectual property laws r dumb and benefit fat cats but that doesn't mean possible plagarism in #a big budget tv show that is supposed to be artistically unique and a loving homage is anything other than utterly lazy #the mummy #the mummy 1999 #anti natla #natla critical #anti netfix avatar #netflix avatar critical #<- so far i don't hate the show or anything ig? this is mostly for blacklisting purposes #like dgmw - i'm not impressed with it - but to me hatred implies you feel a strong emotional reaction to smthn. i mostly just feel bored 💀 #len speaks #len's videos #also for the love of GOD don't go bugging the composer abt this. i might listen to the rest of the OST to look for similarities but i'm #truly hoping this is just a one-off coincidence. i'm inclined to give ppl the benefit of the doubt yk?

god help me im getting interested in law again

Just in case anyone had any misapprehensions, a judge asking you if you read the cases you find when you are doing legal research is bad news bears.

Happy to announce that my AA1 replay is going great and the need to punch Edgeworth in his face is back

#wow FUCK this guy <3 #replaying aa1 (maybe the trilogy) (probably the trilogy) to go back to the core #to the original characterisation #ace attorney #GOD Edgeworth was such an ass i love him so so much #whenever he's quiet for some time and then suddenly goes 'heh heh heh #or does that gay little finger wagging going tsk tsk tsk #also Phoenix at some point hyperfocusing on the case and forgetting Edgeworth is there #bc he's on such a roll #is further proof to me that Phoenix genuinely likes practicing law #he likes standing in court despite the stress and obstacles #ties nicely into Mia inspiring him to pursue law and reiginiting that sense of justice in Phoenix #that he originially got from Edgeworth #ofc his primary goal was to save Edgeworth and not become a lawyer. but it's definitely combined to a large degree

I’m fucking venting here bc I’m angry and don’t have anyone to talk to and I’m not sure if this is political correct or right or whatever but I’m fucking pissed - I’m a public school teacher who works in the inner city and this year alone there have been two shootings in my neighborhood involving students not dying school hours- and one student who went missing due to gang ties (they were found ALIVE a DAYS later) -

I’m fucking TIRED I’m FREAKED OUT and I’m ANGRY because I have to go into work tomorrow and I have to have that conversation with the kids during our SEL block because they will have questions and bc they are in middle school some will not know how to process it and will joke while others will be genuinely upset

and I feel nauseous thinking about the fact that my mother and four of my closest friends are all going through the same fucking shit as teachers at different schools right now- and my roommate who is trans- and unrelated to his identity is also kinda an asshole- has been shitting on me all night about how I’m not I’m danger like he is and how I don’t know his pain (and while I’m not making excuses I’m an openly gay teacher who works directly with the lgbt students and activly educated my kids on trans rights AND I work for a nonprofit organization that directly works to protect trans and queer rights and JUST LAST WEEK put out a video for our organization on antitrans laws - I’m not saying I fucking get what it’s like to be trans but Jesus fuck I’m fighting the fight for trans youth more than you are working at Whole Foods) why the FUCK are you quantifying suffering, why the FUCK are you lashing out at ME of all people, and why the fuck are you telling a public school teacher in inner city Boston that I have no idea what it’s like to be afraid- motherfucker I’m angry I’m sorry but why the fuck are you monopolizing suffering why do you think you have the right to talk to me this fucking way. I get you are scared but you work in Whole Foods in Massachusetts- the bluest state there is- )

there is no fucking cap on grief- sorry I’m upset at this as well but you saying it doesn’t directly effect me is just so fucking ignorant and suffering shouldn’t be quantifiable mf we are on the same fucking side why are you infighting right now (and I know this isn’t relevant and this is entirely unrelated to him being trans but god he is so fucking sexist- saying shit like I have no idea what it’s like to have my bodily autonomy at risk as if roe v wade didn’t get overturned THIS year???) sometimes it pisses me off like fucking sorry I’m being over emotional and overreacting to a school shooting as a fucking public school teacher GOD I should be allowed to be angry too in my own goddamn apartment-

you don’t get to sit on your high horse and say you suffer more than me and that I’m not allowed to be afraid ok I’m done I’m gonna go in tomorrow and make sure to hug my one openly trans kid extra hard bc I know they are suffering just like I know my roomate is suffering and needs a place to express his anger- I get I’m an easy target bc I’m a safe person to lash out at and I’m not telling anyone how to grieve and I know a lot of this is just knee jerk reaction to violence and anger- I just wish he wasn’t expressing it at the one fucking person who doesn’t deserve it, like fuck, the one thing people always say about public school teachers is that we have it TOO easy, especially the night after a school shooting

*Also fuck terfs and fuck anyone who is using a tragedy as an excuse to hate trans people*
