Cats: uh-huh Indigo: it's the Toaster of Necessity. Cats: uh-huh Indigo: you scoff now, but what about when that shiny toaster of DOOM is descending upon your soft, unprotected skull, HUH? Cats: the Helmet of Necessity will appear and protect me Indigo: the Toaster will shatter the Helmet into Bits. Cats: No it Shall Not, for the LORD thy God hath declared, "and thou shalt not shatter the Helmet, for it is good in my eyes. I am the LORD." Indigo: no no no, see, this is the Toaster of Blasphemy as well, and blasphemy is the unforgivable sin, which means it can shatter anything, including the Helmet. Cats: *raises eyebrow* I couldn't Test God, Mi--erm, missy Cats: I am a woman of simple pleasures, you know. Indigo: well, that, and i've finally figured out why you're so imaginative. Cats: why?

Indigo: i thought this relationship meant more to you... Cats: oh, hush. I haven't written anything in ages, you know Indigo: were all those nights of literary passion just a facade? Cats: ...no. more like a phase Cats: ;} Indigo: *gasp* Indigo: But... we have to stay together for the stories, at least! Indigo: that's it, i'm leaving you for Bo. He'll coauthor with me! Cats: Bo? Cats: BO?! Cats: *throws a chair through the window* YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ME FOR BO! Indigo: *hands on hips* Well if you want ME to hang around, you're going to have to put out! Cats: that's all you want, isn't it? Indigo: Well yeah. Indigo: Duh. Indigo: Dude, how messy is your room? You've been "cleaning it" ALL FREAKING DAY. Indigo: And you took off the dirty mind quote! I am shocked! Indigo: You know, I think I'll just sit here and be shocked while I should be writing this paper for art history! Indigo: Stunned, I tell you! Appalled! Indigo: Flabbergasted, even! Indigo: Aghast! Indigo: Agog! Indigo: Confounded! Indigo: um... Discombobulated! Indigo: Struck speechless! Indigo: Astonished and astounded! Indigo: Dumbfounded! Indigo: And a little hurt. Indigo: I really thought that quote meant more to you... I spent quite a while thinking that one up, you know. Indigo: And yet you just... toss my words into the void where deleted characters go. Are my ideas really so... disposable? Indigo: Cats, I feel like you've deleted my heart! Indigo: I'm sorry, I just can't talk about it right now. Indigo: ... Indigo: So that's all you're going to say, is that it? Indigo: All those times my quote and your profile had together, they were just a momentary fling. I thought we had something there... I guess I was wrong. Indigo: No, don't try to comfort me now. It's too late. Cats: *eyes you* you are so strange Indigo: 'Splain to someone else, Lucy. Indigo: bo has not been informed as of yet. Cats: you might want to tell Bo pretty soon, just in case Indigo: yeah, i know Indigo: it's just not the easiest thing to work into conversation Indigo: "Nice weather we're having. What a gay day it is! Speaking of which..." Azazel: so you liked it... i take it that means youre against the "patriot" act too? Indigo: oh yeah, definitely. Indigo: i'm about as happy with that as i am with the federal marriage amendment... Indigo: gah. it blows my mind. Azazel: i know man Azazel: grr Azazel: thats about the stupidest proposal ive ever heard Azazel: its downright unconstitutional Azazel: and the things only one sentence too Azazel: its not like it could be changed or whatnot to make it constitutional, its just plain black or white Indigo: you know as it's written, it wouldn't just ban actual "gay marriage" as such, but domestic partnership or civil union proposals too? basically it's just telling gay people to go away and stop bothering us. Indigo: "us," that is Azazel: yeah i know Azazel: eet ees boolcheet! Indigo: it's a crime against the constitution is what it is. grrrrarg. Azazel: yeah man Azazel: its actually kind of funny- theyre trying to have an unconstitutional amendment to the constitution Azazel: well funny to me anyway because i find irony hilarious Indigo: yeah, but you know, if it passes (which i doubt, but still) it'll be constitutional just because it's there. you can't declare amendments unconstitutional. Azazel: yes you can Azazel: the supreme court can go back in and declare it unconstitutional Azazel: its that whole checks and balancest thing Azazel: theyve done it before Indigo: no, not amendments. you can repeal it, but only by amending the amendment. Indigo: but congress can quite literally tell them that they have no jurisdiction. that's one of congress' powers, to declare the breadth of SCOTUS' jurisdiction. Azazel: yeah but it doesnt matter, they can still go in because of their supreme jurisdiction Indigo: not if congress tells them it's not their jurisdiction. Azazel: if congress could tell them to fuck off, then the system would be thrown off, and congress would have unlimited power Azazel: it doesnt work that way Indigo: i swear it does, they've done it before. one time congress passed an act saying that the SCOTUS couldn't hear cases having to do with first amendment rights, and the Court had to abide by it because one of the amendments specifically says that is a power of Congress. it was reversed later, but i forget how. Azazel: yesh, but the Court has declared amendments unconstitutional before as well Indigo: they can't declare any part of the constitutional unconstitutional, they can only choose to interpret it in light of other amendments. Azazel: whatever you say indigo Indigo: nyah. Azazel: this isnt going anywhere so i think ill just stop now Indigo: now that my utter superiority has been established... *grin* Azazel: shut your noise you! Indigo: heh heh heh. Azazel: *grins, only menacingly, if you could imagine that* Indigo: you know what? let's settle this the old-fashioned way-- Indigo: Google it. Azazel: oh snap! Azazel: its on! Azazel: fuck that, im askin JEEVES! Azazel: booyah! Indigo: i'm sorry, but google is vastly better than jeeves Azazel: take -that- mofo! Azazel: no jeeves will give you a direct answer to a direct question Indigo: screw you, i've got wikipedia! Azazel: wikipedia? Indigo: yep. it's kind of an open-source encyclopedia. Azazel: oh Azazel: cool Azazel: wait, pause Azazel: MR ROGERS IS ON! Azazel: i love mr rogers! Azazel: its a beautiful day in the neighborhod Indigo: i always sing that when it rains Azazel: dude, it would kick so much ass to have a postman like mr mcfeeley Azazel: the John Lennon of postal workers! Azazel: do you concur? Indigo: aye Indigo: the motion passes Azazel: damn right it does Azazel: because what i say goes! Indigo: unless it's unconstitutional Azazel: and the SCOTUS can declare laws unconstitutional! thats what i say! Azazel: not laws, amendments rather Azazel: so there Indigo: fie Indigo: fie, i say! Azazel: fie?! oh no you didnt! Indigo: >>Its jurisdiction is limited by Article III of the U.S. Constitution to "cases" and "controversies" arising under federal law. Thus, for example, cases that arise from the state supreme courts may only be heard by the United States Supreme Court if they present an issue of federal law. Where the state court decided the case on an independent and adequate state ground, the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to hear it. In addition, although the Constitution states the outer limits of the court's power, it also gives Congress the ability to limit its jurisdiction.<< Indigo: Note the bolded section. Azazel: *rolls eyes* but thats unconstitutional for that to be a law Indigo: no it's not, IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION Indigo: that makes it by definition CONSTITUTIONAL Indigo: and it's not even an amendment, it's part of the original document Azazel: no, because the congress has to be checked and limited by the judicial system Indigo: it is, but the SCOTUS also has to be checked by the legislative in the same way Indigo: dude, i got a 5 on the AP Government exam, don't mess with me Azazel: and besides, the constitution has been revised since its original writing, and large parts of it arent even in use anymore Indigo: that part is, it's been used before Azazel: wow, did you really? Azazel: thats impressive Indigo: yep Azazel: well you know what? Azazel: i dont care anymore Indigo: ha! that's because i'm right! Indigo: yes! Indigo: i rule! Azazel: haha, i just asked my kitty, "dottie, do you see any instructions" and she looked in the box Azazel: it was the cutest thing Indigo: *shakes head* cat people... Azazel: what? what about cat people? Indigo: maybe it's just me, but you tend to behave as if your cats were small children. everything they do is cute. Azazel: well if its a little bitty kitty Azazel: it is cute Azazel: ...*realizes what he just said about the cat looking in the box, looks around insecurely, twitches and then says "hey shut up man!"* |
