BREAKING: SCOTUS Declares Bush the Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Daily Kos: BREAKING: SCOTUS Declares Bush the Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, stated that “allowing Al Gore to win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize violates the spirit and intent of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Consitution.” Justice Alito was joined in the majority decision by Justices Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and Chief Justice Roberts.
In a strongly worded dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stated “This court has no jurisdiction over the Norwegian Nobel Committee and thus cannot award the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize to President George W. Bush.” Ginsburg was joined in her dissent by Justices Breyer and Stevens.
In a separate Dissenting Opinion, Justice Souter wrote, “This is just stupid. I quit.”
OK, is it wrong when the parody of such a serious injustice makes me laugh?
