So... Students getting paid for extracurricular activities is wrong because money ruins everything. OK.

By extension, students paying money to attend college is ruining college.

For a logical conclusion: Colleges getting paid for their students extracurricular work (college sports) is also ruining college.

To be fair, "avoid change at all costs!" Has been the Republican motto for a long time now. It's right up there with, "ignore reality."

Who are the people that care about these things? Everyone's going to put a case on it anyway.

If I were in charge of product design we'd have two phones:

  • A tiny one for people who like tiny things
  • A big honkin chonker with a 30-day battery life that could jump start a car that would fit in a man's pocket no problem

Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.

Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we're going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.

It'll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn't every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.

The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to "just pay the fines" will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!

Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year's Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.

They are insane.

Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don't bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.
