I know I’m on hiatus, but today is different. Every year it’s different, a day marked out from the others, as Good Friday is, by the innocent blood that drips from the lintel. But Calvary marks a Passover, the purging of sin through willing self-sacrifice by the Son of Man. Today marks our own sacrifice of the sons of men, to no purpose all, to no god but Moloch. And the Supreme Court is his prophet, (peace be upon them).

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying: In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
