Unlike their cheese-eating surrender monkey hero, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, the leaders of the modern-day Republican party are not ready to cry uncle.
Despite suffering heavy losses at the Supreme Court this week (among the darkest days in American history), they're prepared to soldier on—all in the name of defending "traditional values" such as motherhood and pure applesauce.
For, while the Supreme Court may have decided that Obamacare and gay marriage are now "the law of the land," its nine unelected judges are not God (Jesus), and they can't overrule His laws.
Among the (retributive) options being considered are giving these so-called "justices" a taste of their own medicine, and taking away their precious Court.
Simply put, the fight has just begun ... and the South will rise again.
Yeargh!

Elsewhere...
Mexican piñata Donald Trump proclaimed himself a friend of Latinos. 
"I do great with Latino voters. I employ so many Latinos. I have so many people working for me. I'm a job creator. I create jobs. I'm a master job creator. No politician knows how to create jobs. They're all talk, they're no action. They don't know what they're doing. And you know, the Latinos love Trump and I love them."
But...
Apparently, the feeling is not mutual. 
Donald Trump says he will sue Univision for "hundreds of millions of dollars" if the network holds to its decision to not air the Miss USA pageant next month.
Univision announced Thursday it will not air the Miss USA pageant on July 12 "or [work] on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization" after the businessman made disparaging remarks about Mexicans earlier this month during a speech announcing his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Trump is a part owner of the Miss Universe Organization. [...]
Trump claimed Univision caved to pressure from the Mexican government.
"They don't want me saying that Mexico is killing the United States in trade and killing the United States at the border," Trump told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Univision is totally laying down for the Mexican government. ... They want to silence Donald Trump. And Donald Trump can't be silenced. ... I have great respect for Mexico and I love the Mexican people, but my loyalty is to the United States."
And so...
Trump fired off a sternly worded letter to el jefe of Univision. 
Donald Trump sent a letter to Univision CEO and president Randy Falco on Friday informing him that "no Univision officer or representative" is allowed to use his Trump National Doral, the resort and golf club immediately adjacent to Univision offices in Miami, the On Media blog has learned. [...]
In the letter, Trump writes to Falco, "Please be advised that under no circumstances is any officer or representative of Univision allowed to use Trump National Doral, Miami—its golf courses or any of its facilities. Also, please immediately stop work and close the gate which is being constructed between our respective properties. If this is not done within one week, we will close it."
In a post-script, Trump added: "Please congratulate your Mexican Government officials for having made such outstanding trade deals with the United States. However, inform them that should I become President, those days are over. We are bringing jobs back to the U.S. Also, a meaningful border will be immediately created, not the laughingstock that currently exists."
The end.
