As a gay Californian, I took prop 8 personally. I spurn its supporters as I would spurn a rabid dog.

The legitimacy of SCOTUS, and the federal judiciary in general, hangs by a thread. It needs to be reformed, and the current justices need to retire, in order to restore any semblance of public confidence.

Why was appointing Eich as CEO so controversial? It's because he donated $1,000 in support of California's Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California's state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

Which is all the reason I need.

2008 is not ancient. Nor is same-sex marriage some minor technical legal point.

Nor has he repented.

Nations that were the source of slaves remain on the whole impoverished and underdeveloped.

Nations that were slavers still remain on the whole wealthy and highly developed.

This is not a coincidence, and there is a reasonable case to be made for reparations on these grounds.

Anyone who defrauded these programs should receive the maximum sentence allowed plus restitution debt that follows them to the grave.
