"We need to make sure that abortion does not become legal in our state, but 58% of the state thinks it should be legal."
"Well, that's simple, we just make it that they need 60%. Easy" (58% of the state votes against the change) (shocked pikachu face)

Measure won by nearly 58%, but Kari Lake is already beating the "frard" drum. Republicans never lose elections, they either win or won and was cheated.

jesus. the ohio secretary of state is complaining that "dark money" has "flooded into the state" to spread disinformation about issue 1 and that's why it was defeated. These people have no reality.
uggggggggggh he's doing the trump thing since money from GOP superpacs flooded in here. franted there may have been some aclu or prochoice ads playing i dunno. but as usual any ads about that were giving the facts. That the gop hastily threw this together to stop the abortion ballot and that's all this is about. While the GOP ads were dressed up like "Evil people are here to destroy the constitution". oh yeah? this has been the case for years and it hasn't been destroyed already? he's saying the constitution is for sale now. um....well...dude that's indeed what lobbyists do. |

You would think filing lawsuits by creating fake companies with fake grievances in order to set precedences would be highly illegal... but I guess the truth really ain't important in a Conservatives view of American justice.
The Supreme Court’s fake praying coach case just got faker. |

Not surprised he ended up in Florida or if he takes a coaching job there when his time in the limelight comes to an end. Or that the Supreme Court won't vacate the verdict now that its been exposed it was a fake from the Christian right. I hope reporters/investigators keep digging and find that it was fake all along.

I mentioned this in the Biden thread a few days ago. He's a local coach here so my wife and I had some discussions about it and didn't really see eye to eye, but one thing I was adamant about was he was doing this for money and attention. He was asked to stop, stooped for a while, "prayed about it", decided to keep doing it, was fired, and quickly found himself on right wing and other TV platforms, doing speaking engagements, and interviews. Getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to him financially and taking the job as an assistant high school football coach was a huge paycut from the right wing grift. |

Is it considered perjury? Or an ethical violation? Like can I just make up a story and sue anyone with no repurcussions?

There's a certain horrendous asymmetry here where a progressive service nonprofit is forced to shut down when a right-wing activist creates doctored videos of its activities, but when right-wing groups now do exactly what that progressive organization was accused of doing (and far worse), they get SCOTUS decisions in their favor.

It's super clear. If you're championing a right-wing cause, or have bought the SCOTUS Justice in question, then you have standing by default (and likely a judgment in your favor). Everyone else only has standing if Gorsuch, Roberts, and Kavanaugh decide it would be a bit much, even for them, to deny it. It's a lot simpler than having to remember everything about constitutional law. |

Looks like the MAGATs are livid at Barrett and Roberts for siding with the Biden administration on removing the physical barriers that Texas put up on the border.

When will those 4 judges get around to reading the Supremacy Clause? Like I know not to take the courts seriously, but even Scalia would have put together some bullshit dissent instead of just ignoring the actual Constitution. |

To follow that, the state legislature is working to pass a law that would ban many birth-control drugs and devices. Need those women poor and pregnant.

White women vote for the party that sees them as breeding mares at around a 57% clip. They are the ones sowing the red cloaks and hoods.

This decision is like extremely bad. Further, the Chief Justice says no law that the legislature could pass can change it, because any law would be unconstitutional.

How is a state constitution based on the Bible even constitutional in the first place?

"Moderate" Nikki Haley agrees with the ruling because she thinks embryos are babies. They are all insane.

If I did IVF in Alabama and had 10 frozen embryos, I may claim them all as dependents.

Not that it should be surprising but the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court is a hardcore religious nut and a massive racist history.

Tuberville was asked about IVF facilities shutting down because of the Alabama ruling and he stated that he agrees with the ruling because we need more kids.

Trying to straddle the line here makes her sound even dumber. Pick a side. Her stance is that embryos are babies. That means 8-10 "babies" are killed, on average, for each person getting IVF treatment. I'm not sure she even knows what her stance is on issues because she dances around every topic trying to appease the GOP base and moderates at the same time. |

I agree.
I'd like to see the Dems play this out more through Nov. Abortion rights plus IVF inconsistency/hypocrisy is a good rallying issue. I'd like a campaign along the lines of "re-elect Joe to prevent SCOTUS from getting even more extreme, or this stuff will get worse". |

The Supreme Court rules 7-2 in favor of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I don't think it's a coincidence, that after all the scrutiny on Thomas, that he split with Alito and not only went with the majority but wrote the opinion.

I kind of want to see everyone's faces from the Justices' conference when Thomas (who would have talked last as the most senior Justice) said he'd be siding with the CFPB.
Alito & Gorsuch were completely predictable on this ruling. |
