Runaway SCOTUS

A Supreme Court of the United States that has abandoned any and all tethering to the rule of law. As opposed to an "activist court", a pejorative term coined by the Republican Party to describe Supreme Court justices who interpret law based on precedent, law and the Constitution as opposed to say...the Bible, a runaway SCOTUS features unelected justices tossing overboard whatever mumblings they uttered about "Stare Decisis" (“to stand by things decided) during confirmation, and just makes shit up as they go.

• 50 year precedent of Roe vs. Wade? "Meh...we know best what women want."

• ATF (firearm experts) determined bump stocks turn semi-automatic rifles into machine guns? "Well I'm Samuel Alito and that makes my wife sad, so no."

• 250 year precedent of "No man is above the law"? "We think Trump might win, so let's make him King."

• People with degrees in meteorology should oversee the National Weather Service? "We can look outside, too."

• Is "Insurrection" bad? Well...we have two insurrection-adjacent wives, so that's awkward. "Let's make it not bad."

• ProPublica keeps writing about Alito and Thomas taking bribes like it's a bad thing. "Let's just legalize it."

We have a runaway SCOTUS that is ignoring historical precedent, citing witch trials as case law and legalizing bribing the judiciary.

runaway roll

Refers to an inadequately-perforated and/or too-lightweight spool of paper towels or toilet-tissue. When you try to merely tear off a few sheets by giving the end of the roll a moderate yank, the paper does not separate the way you expected, and so the roll just wastefully whizzes off yards and yards all over the place, obliging you to fumingly remove the messily-bunched-up wad from the holder and tediously re-roll the paper inch-by-inch back onto the core again.

I do indeed prefer to purchase the "bargain basement" tissue-paper rolls from the supermarket or department store --- especially if they have a sale on the huge 20-roll "bales" --- but I find that a lot of times they are "runaway rolls"... the company goofed when they punched the rolls' perforations, and so that's largely why they're being sold off so cheaply.
