Wrong thread dipshit.

Careful. Dude is a known rapist.

The dude seems more interesting than his anticlimactic death would indicate.

This leads to an interesting predicament.... If the latest decision is held up in this form, does that mean lower courts get to choose which interpretation they want?

That is such an INCEL way to go out... dying of a heart attack after falling on top of some chick you took home and getting a trickle of tributes indistinguishable from mockery by internet comedians.

Speaking of which... https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/06/politics/clarence-thomas-stare-decisis-roe-v-wade-leak/index.html Dude is really an idiot.

Are you going to be his new Twitter social media coordinator? I hear the job pays like shit, but it's perfect if you're already a self hating tool.

It completely runs counter to the notion of precedent.... the entire reason the fucking court even exists. Alito is essentially pretending that the last nearly 50 years of precedent should never have happened. It's shockingly bad. Obviously the reason Roberts is so concerned by the leak is that it shows a fundamental lack of understanding about not just previous decisions but of the process itself, all by one of the most senior members of the court and just weeks after the other most senior member of the court compromised himself through his idiot dick coozy (among other things). It effectively amounts to him nitpicking the previous rulings (Roe and Casey) so as to invalidate them rather than use them as a foundation for a revised ruling. The fact that he his essentially parroting the GOP talking point of Roe being wrong as opposed to filling in gaps of the previous ruling is what is most concerning.

No, it isn't. You can dance around it all you want, but you're just dancing around the fact you think the United States is the senior (and only effective) partner in this group. If, in fact, Russia is foolish enough to be antagonized by this, then it's a brilliant play that allows us to take the negative attention while our partners continue to be effective behind the scenes. In all likelihood, the Russians are not that stupid, and they're not going to be antagonized by one country taking the credit for an action that most likely involved several countries working in concert. More importantly, such an admission would have no bearing on a decision if Putin uses nukes or not. If he's of sound mind, he knows deploying a nuke means he's lost or about to lose because it is a weapon of last resort where everyone knows the consequences. If he's not of sound mind, he's already "found" the moral justification he needs to act in his delusions.

I did. I can understand why Roberts was so mortified at it being leaked. That has to be the worst opinion ever created by a supreme court justice.

Glad to see you enjoy when Republicans are petty.

No matter what Russia tries to shape the narrative as, it's a fight between Russia and the rest of the world. Russia is well aware that it isn't just the United States giving the Ukraine intel, and us taking credit for the intel doesn't mean that if we were to stop that the intel wouldn't keep coming. Your entire premise is that the United States is the one in control, and that's just not the case.

I don’t see how it’s spitting on Russia’s face.

Well, I didn’t expect to be the adventurous one.

Personally, no I would not.

Nabs was just going to spam it anyway.

Also one of the links tried to infect me.

Either he's really dead or he's getting the Cosby.

Not that I know anything.. but I'm pretty sure you''d rather have a dildo with abs than a dildo that looks like a giant vibrating Tylenol.

The obvious reason to admit it is to stop the Russians in their tracks. It also lends more legitimacy when refuting tangential claims, such as when Russia claims that the Ukraine has attacked points inside of Russia's borders. If we know where their top brass is going to be or where their prized pool toy in the Black Sea is weighing anchor, what else do we know?

I love my kitty.... and I know I'm a whore deep down.

Indeed. In subsequent analysis by the media, it’s been pointed out that one this leak potentially ends up galvanizing each bloc on the court, creating a resilient impasse for Roberts as he attempts to broker a more tempered and restricted reversal of Roe, presumably one that pays at least some lip service to a woman’s autonomy. Whether or not the leaker is right to expose the draft, the leak unquestionably causes irreversible damage to the decision process, and it permanently diminishes public trust in this court. The question then is who is responsible. It’s hard to suggest that an appointee is perjuring him or herself just by changing an stance on precedent. Arguably, Gorsuch and Kavenaugh could decide it isn’t established law based on the specifics of the case. Notably, we’re only seeing Alito’s opinion so we don’t know how any of the others would modify and temper the draft to a final opinion. Nonetheless, nobody could reasonably look at the confirmation process and say that it isn’t corrupted. The last two appointed judges were widely seen as unqualified by independent observers, and the naked partisanship in their hearings left little doubt they were going to be less than partial. Removing the courts ability to obscure the thinking process essentially just confirms that what we thought was happening actually is happening. Importantly, it does nothing to prove or disprove outside interference on its own though. This is why I suspect the leaker will never be identified. We might be exposing an extreme and poorly argued argument, but it’s not unvarnished. The degree of trust it betrays is significantly less than of personal communications between justices or, worse, justices and outsiders to the court. It might be embarrassing to Alito, but that’s because it’s so poorly written and so beneath the standards of even past decisions of this same court. It really serves more as a cautionary tale to the justices themselves than it illuminates for us citizens.

Found one.... https://news.yahoo.com/susan-collins-supreme-court-leak-roe-abortion-kavanaugh-gorsuch-172603085.html Wasn't a Dem, naturally.

...again.

He couldn't use the horseshoe because then him and Nabs would be close enough to slap fight.
