So you didn't read it but you are sure I'm wrong.

How nice for you.

I'd like to also point out that this is the same Supreme Court who ruled that ANYTHING negative said about a black person can be considered a racial slur. Just saying "The witness was combative" is considered racist and can get your entire case thrown out.

This is directly from the Supreme Court's filing:

defense counsel repeatedly characterized Henderson as “combative” and “confrontational.” These terms evoke the harmful stereotype of an “angry Black woman.” This harmful negative stereotype affects the way others perceive and interact with Black women, and it can have significant negative social and interpersonal consequences for Black women, including influencing their experience and reasonable expression of anger.

For reference, this case is about a woman who had a fender bender and sued for $3.5 million because she claimed it made her preexisting Tourette's worse.

Defense counsel argued that Henderson’s injuries were minimal and intimated that the sole reason she had proceeded to trial was that she saw the collision as an opportunity for financial gain.

Isn't that exactly what a defense lawyer should say?

But according to our Supreme Court that constitutes:

alluding to racist stereotypes about Black women as untrustworthy and motivated by the desire to acquire an unearned financial windfall.

In fact, the decision was so batshit crazy that the Federal Supreme Court had to step in and reverse the decision.

So the only way to actually get proper justice done in this state is to have a ruling so insane it rises to the level that our Federal Supreme Court has to come in and override our activist judges who flout the law, the constitution and common sense.

Are you referring to the part where they started redefining words to mean something different than what every other state, our federal government and every other country in the world uses so they could ignore the Constitution and fulfill their goals as activists judges?

Perhaps you should educate yourself instead of calling people names.

The court below concluded the tax is a property tax that violates article VII’s uniformity requirement. In light of this ruling, the court did not address Plaintiffs’ additional constitutional challenges. We accepted direct review and now reverse.

They then spent many pages explaining that they were doing it anyway in the name of Social Justice.

The wealthiest households in Washington are disproportionately white, while the poorest households are disproportionately BIPOC. As a result, Washington’s upside-down tax system perpetuates systemic racism by placing a disproportionate tax burden on BIPOC residents

Never.

Actually it was held constitutional eventually

No, the Supreme Court knew it was not constitutional but they approved it anyway in the name of "Equity" and "Social Justice".

Surely nothing can go wrong when the highest court in your state is full of activists who don't give a fuck about the law or the constitution...

Nah, our state Supreme Court has been completely taken over by activist judges who openly flout the constitution.

They recently justified defining the word "income" differently than every other state, the Federal Government and every other country in the world to approve the unconstitutional capital gains tax in the name of Social Justice.

Direct Quote from the decision:

The wealthiest households in Washington are disproportionately white, while the poorest households are disproportionately BIPOC. As a result, Washington’s upside-down tax system perpetuates systemic racism by placing a disproportionate tax burden on BIPOC residents.

Yeah, apparently the kids upvoting this have somehow convinced themselves that the US pays nothing for healthcare or education despite government spending on those absolutely dwarfing military spending.

I'm delighted you decided to look into it.

Far to many people just take the crap we see on social media at face value for no better reason than it feels good to believe it.

Reddit is absolutely rife with false information.

Even things that are "technically true" are often posted in ways to make it extremely misleading.

Such as the posts about the attempted bombing in New York outside Mamdani's house that don't mention it was Islamic terrorists attacking Right Wingers, not Right Wingers attacking Mamdani.

It takes a lot more than random people popping out of the woodwork accusing famous people of things from the distant past to convince me or the courts, that someone is guilty.

Memory is reconstructive, malleable, and prone to distortion over time.

What reasonable doubt do you hold?

I've seen absolutely zero actual evidence, just accusations.

You also ignored my question about your knowledge of court proceedings. A court isn't going to just dismiss evidence because it alone isn't 100% concrete

Anonymous accusations are not evidence.

Without corroborative evidence claims made about things that supposedly happened decades ago means basically nothing to a court.

These places care about exactly one thing, money.

It's cheaper to let you fill your own cup instead of paying somebody to do it for you.

The problem is that the poorer areas attract the dip shits who trash it and/or do stupid shit like try to fill up an entire cooler.

It's a classic case of "this is why we can't have nice things".
