Master-Debater131 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Ill get to the potential decision in another point, but first the leak. The FBI is going to be pulled in to try and find the leaker. In the entire history of SCOTUS this kind of leak is simply unprecedented. Its also a horrible thing to have happen. The only reason a decision would leak is to try and put political pressure on SCOTUS to change their minds. Until the decision is issued any justice can change their mind. Its pretty clear that this leak was done with political intentions in mind to put pressure on someone to change their mind. Hopefully they do not or this opens up a potential dark chapter in the history of SCOTUS where decisions become routinely leaked to try and create political pressure to change a justices mind. If the leak came from a Justice then they will likely find themselves completely ostracized from the rest of the court for as long as they serve. Unless it was Breyer who is retiring anyways, but I dont think it was him. He respects the institution too much to do this. It could be Roberts himself who leaked this. He is obsessed with the legacy and legitimacy of the court. He was rumored to be trying to convince people to come to his side just last week. If he couldnt, then this leak may be his desperate play to change votes. Im leaning more toward it being a Clerk who decided to make some waves because of their own political beliefs. If thats the case then the clerk is done in major law. No major law firm will hire them, and SCOTUS will avoid them, and any case they are on, for the rest of their lives. Its a total career ender for any Clerk who leaks SCOTUS decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Debater131 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 For the actual decision now. Im surprised at just how full throated the repudiation of Roe is, if this winds up being the actual decision. I fully expected Casey to be overturned, but not Roe. A quick look at the decision and its not entirely wrong either. Abortion isnt mentioned anywhere in the constitution. It was essentially a made up right that the courts created rather than let play out in the legislative process. All they are doing here is sending the decision back to the People to decide through elections and the legislative process. So, I agree with the fundamental principal of the ruling. These issues need to be tackled by the people through elections and the legislative process. Our politicians need to stop relying on the courts to make the tough calls that they are too cowardly to make. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the decision. I'm a firm believer in bodily autonomy, and the ability for a woman to have an abortion is absolutely a part of that. I may not always agree with the decision to have an abortion, but its up to an individual to make, not someone else. Whenever the government starts to make decisions for people I tend to not agree with it. Plus, this wont actually stop abortions. We all know what happens when the government creates a black-market with drugs. The same thing is absolutely going to happen with abortions, and its going to cost lives, just like the black market for drugs. Hate all you all want on those seemingly contradictory positions, but thats where Im at. I think the decision is correct legally speaking, but I really dont like it. Its up to the states now to decide on what to do next. Theres a bunch that have been moving either pro or anti abortion in recent years expecting this kind of decision to come. My state just passed some very open abortion laws, and we are surrounded by states that passed very anti-abortion laws. Abortion tourism is absolutely going to be a thing here. Im hoping that we have the resources to help women get here if they need to, because its absolutely going to be tougher for poor women to get abortions now. Politically, this could be a big win for Democrats and help blunt their losses this year. But that all depends on just how far they push this. Most Americans agree that Abortion should be legal, but there are varying degrees of opinion there. The general consensus is that Abortion up to the 3rd Trimester should have unfettered access, but in the 3rd trimester more regulations apply. If Dems go with that as their position they absolutely could turn this into a winning issue for them. However, if they go full blown "any time, any reason, no regulations at all" then that risks alienating just enough people that they cant turn this into a win. That position isnt popular outside of the Democratic Base and the bluest of blue areas in the country. Theres a good number of traditional Democratic voters who dont support the full-blown abortion position that the more vocal base does, including a substantial portion of the Hispanic vote that tends to be more religious and was already trending toward the GOP. This same argument goes for the GOP though. They could fuck it up by going for full bans when that isnt the popular position either. Any politician that runs on a moderate position will likely see support on this issue because the moderate position seems to be the general consensus on this issue. This is the ultimate political grenade being thrown into the room, and no one knows what happens next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I doubt the leaker was looking to gain references for the future prospect of throwing out the Thomas family’s sedition plans or disposing of the empty beer cans in Kavanaugh’s office. Much like the Trump administration leaks, the SCOTUS is experiencing this because they have been thoroughly delegitimized as representatives of the American people, and have fully accepted their role as an accessory for the Republican Party to roll back on our nation’s freedoms.

We've inextricably linked things like nationalism and patriotism and "dedication to the """founding fathers"""" (as if anyone knows what that even means anymore), building up this idea that our country is clearly perfect and should never change and in fact maybe we changed too much already and need to go backwards, etc. The entire identity of conservatives is stagnation in service to some ideal that never existed.

If Supreme Court decisions are getting the same kind of spectator sport theatrics that Congress and the House campaign on, then it’s clear that the courts have been compromised by the same petty politics and wanton criminal activity that ended the legitimacy of the legislative branch. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Supreme Court decisions are getting the same kind of spectator sport theatrics that Congress and the House campaign on, then it’s clear that the courts have been compromised by the same petty politics and wanton criminal activity that ended the legitimacy of the legislative branch. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_lost_username_ Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Quote A state judge struck down new congressional districts in north Florida on Wednesday, saying that Governor Ron DeSantis, who drew the lines, had made it harder for Black voters to elect the candidate of their choice. “I am finding the enacted map is unconstitutional because it diminishes African Americans’ ability to elect candidates of their choice,” circuit judge Layne Smith said on Wednesday, according to the Tributary. Lawyers for the state of Florida are expected to immediately appeal the ruling, and the Florida supreme court will probably ultimately decide the case. The decision dealt specifically with DeSantis’s decision to dismantle Florida’s fifth congressional district. It stretched from Jacksonville to Tallahassee, was 46% Black, and is currently represented by Al Lawson, a Black Democrat. DeSantis’s new district chopped the district up into four districts where Republican candidates would be favored to win. Judge strikes down Florida governor’s ‘unconstitutional’ election map | Florida | The Guardian I'm pretty sure DeSantis is going to be the Republican candidate for President in 2024. He's pretty symbolic of what the GOP is all about now, which is power for power's sake without much regard for how it's gotten. The party doesn't have a platform and it's leaders are it's entertainment wing (Fox News, Steve Bannon, etc.) and the base that turns out for the primary (i.e. lunatics, idiots and assholes). DeSantis, like Trump, isn't a leader as much of a follower of what's hot for the real powers of the party. DeSantis is like Trump, except he's less likely to just ramble off on what pops into his head and is more deliberate when it comes to long-range planning and himself. I don't think Trump is going to run because he's selling his D.C. hotel, dropped that little tidbit about "health" concerns could prevent a run and he seems to be content holding his king's court in Florida. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the person that won is probably just as bad as Cawthorn cuz Trump endorsed that candidate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go over the rules pretty clearly. He should have put his phone down and watched the training video. Im going to laugh if the new guy gets into the same trouble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 https://www.barrons.com/articles/gasoline-prices-how-high-51652816252?tesla=y How High Will Gas Prices Go? $6 a Gallon, According to One Prediction. If gas really does hit $6 a gallon nation wide this summer then Biden and Democrats are beyond screwed. Its already looking like a Red Wave year, but throwing this on top of all the other existing conditions would turn November into that scene from the Shining when the elevator doors open. As it is any seat that is a D+5 or less is very much a target for the GOP. If things get much worse that will likely turn into any seat that is a D+10 or less. The House is already gone and is going to be in GOP hands, the only question is by how large a margin. The Senate is much more up in the air, but even that isnt looking so good for Democrats. As it is we are setting new record prices each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
