Dipshit governor thinks judicial branch isn't an equal pillar of govt & 5-3 Supreme Court rulings shouldn't count.

Today's decision from a divided court is a prime example of activist jurists imposing their will on the people.

Amnesia can be disorienting, e.g., supremacy clause, tradition of rule of law, and SCOTUS as the final arbiter of dispute.

Call the waaaaahmbulance.

There is more to come after Hillary /Warren are elected. I believe this is the beginning of the end of the Right Wing Dominance in States and in the Supreme Court. A lesson for the Republicans, you pushed too hard and now you will feel the backlash.
