Coming several days after a series of other court rulings, the Supreme Court issued a ruling today enabling division by zero. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy declares that all government and commercial actions outlawing division by zero, or declaring division by zero to be undefined or in error, are unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses.
The White House and many LGBTZ groups hailed the decision.

I hope this is satire!!
But it is entirely possible since it is gubmint. I remember several years ago one of the state legislatures declared that pi was to be calculated as 3.0 since trying to work with an irrational number was not rational. At my age my memory is not as good as it use to but I think it was either Kansas or Georgia.

Pi is also unconstitutional. It is not fair for one number to contain an indefinite decimal.
SCOTUS has decided to give other finite decimals the dignity they deserve, something which can never be achieved as ling as Pi remains indefinite.

The court cited in its majority opinion the writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau, father of the French Revolution, who first espoused in popular, widely acceptable form, the concept of "will to power", thereby setting aside considerations of so-called "natural law" and a teleological method of determining truth as inherent in the nature of a thing. Rousseau, and now the Justices, have clearly parted with age-old superstitions of truth, freeing such considerations so that individuals and societies might define truth in the way it deems most acceptable at any given time.

Gravity is responsible for millions of deaths over the centuries. It should certainly be unconstitutional.Women and minorities hardest hit. Or hits the hardest. I can never remember which.

The White House and many LGBTZ groups hailed the decision There was a similar move to round pi to two decimal places but I don't think it reached the Supreme Court.

Seriously. I don’t use the phrases “getting married” or “being married” when it applies to homosexuals.
I use the phrase “pretending to be married”.
It is no different than a couple of 3 year old neighborhood kids having a “wedding” out on the side walk, using toilet paper for a veil and riding away on their tricycles.
They are pretending to get married as they have seen normal adults do and only a fool would officially recognize it as a real marriage.
Next, PETA will be advocating that we all recognize the marriage of dogs to one another.

Forgot to add: in addition, no pun intended, those who were against division by zero in the past will see their families attacked by CPS and others dismembered with the help of ISIS terrorists and illegals as punishment for being against the law before the law was passed.
