Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 21, 2022

I visited the state capital once. That’s the closest to politics as I’ve been.

Nobody thought about creating and signing a bill with their name.

maybe the Supreme Court should remember it’s not their job to remove our rights?

Congress critters should do their jobs and legislate the “Rights” that they want. Instead, they prefer to protest and pretend that they have been handcuffed.

No, Scott, the Supreme Court isn’t doing this to make Congress overrules their decisions. Of course. They are doing it because they are ideologues and theocrats who perjured themselves for it.

So Kevin is Matt Gaetz?

Nice to see a Biden parody instead of the usual Anti-Trump rant. I blame Truman!

Maybe we should remember that we are the ones responsible for all of this.

…and the arguments continue…

Congress is too busy holding bogus investigations into Trump to actually do their job.

Yay, Stiffy the Clipboard Male is back!

Stiffy is played by two flat actors: Left Stiffy and Right Stiffy. You can tell which is which—he faces the direction he’s named for. Fun fact: Left Stiffy and Right Stiffy hate each other violently.

The Congress did its job when it renewed the Voting Rights Act in 2006. SCOTUS didn’t like that, so it ruled against that law in 2013, arguing that the VRC was obsolete and no longer needed. This is what the SCOTUS super-majority is poised to do now for every legitimate piece of legislation Congress passes now — especially if said laws conform not to the 6 “Justices” notion of “original intent”, or whatever other specious arguments they can concoct to wreck the commonweal in favor of the reactionary fascist GOP.
