Monday Musing

Whatever engineer designed the starter mounting on a Briggs and Stratton Intek engine should be demoted and forced to work in the shop parking lot.  With one set of wrenches and two screwdrivers.

It has long been my opinion that any consumer gasoline engine should be designed to be disassembled with any standard socket wrench set.  In this particular case, having a mounting bolt behind the bendix assembly is particularly evil.  Another particularly evil joke was putting a Torx-head bolt in that location.

I spent the morning replacing that starter when it should have been a ten-minute job.

Then I come inside and find that John Roberts has one again proved that he is a liberal.  He voted with the majority to strike down a Louisiana law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges in a nearby hospital. 

Roberts had dissented in the 2016 case and said in a concurring opinion that while he still believes that the past case was wrongly decided, he was ruling with the majority in the present case due to court precedent.

Roberts will turn backflips and jump through hoops to reach a liberal conclusion.  He was hailed as a true conservative when appointed by President  George W Bush, and he has given us Obamacare not once, but twice.  He's sided with liberals on abortion on several occasions. 

John Roberts is a complete disaster as a Justice.  If I ever have the opportunity, I intend to spit on his shoes.
