Item 31

It is rich that Piglosi was cited in the Supreme Court decision to stop Slo Joe’s taxpayer give away to the deadbeat student loan recipients. Their stupidity always comes back to bite them. Wonder just how much Nancy is fuming.

I was shocked she said that. It's probably the only time she's ever been right. No wonder the Supremes memorialized it.

My favorite opinion came from Thomas in a concurring opinion on affirmative action, just completely slamming Jackson's opinion, she being the most notable affirmative action hire in the universe; and demonstrating that too many given preference under affirmative action are actually completely incompetent. I'm sure if we go back into the 1800s we could find some political hack who got on the court who had no business being there, but KBJ is certainly the least competent person appointed to the court in over 100 years. Thomas, who wasn't black enough and who was attempted to be legally "lynched" by our current president, must have enjoyed writing his concurring opinion a great deal. He slashes at KBJ's competence with almost every sentence he writes. And attacks with great vigor the basis for her entire professional career. She is a fraud. Tough being called out so ably to your face in such a public way. But when you get in over your head, sometimes it's not very fun. I imagine KBJ's influence on the court is minimal. I'm glad FJB wasted his pick on someone who will be even more inconsequential on the court than RBG was.

Another head-spinning week ending on a high note with the Supreme Court decisions. All 6-3, highlighting the political hackery of the three unwise liberals.

Brown is a disaster and Justice Thomas smacked her silly in his concurring opinion on the Haaavaaad and UNC discrimination cases.

What I find somewhat shocking is how poorly written (and researched) the dissents have been. It's one thing for a justice to disagree on what the facts mean, it's entirely something else to be incorrect on the facts themselves. Brown's dissent would have failed a 1L legal research and writing class.

As I read this week…probs from the Bee…the best argument for ditching ‘Affirmative Action’ by the Supreme Court sits on the Supreme Court!

The Bee is suppose to satire but often the information there is more accurate and honest that what you'd get from the corporate media.

The editor of the Bee recently observed that their material is supposed to be satire of events and public statements, but those things themselves are beginning to resemble the most biting satire the Bee could produce.

I’m not an attorney but an old guy who’s been following this stuff for a long time. Seems to me an example of that famous line from a movie: “stupid does as stupid is” Or something like that. Relative to the job they are in they are three not very smart women so they have chosen equally bad staff which produce bad results. That’s my theory.

These manuscripts are researched and written by the law clerks for each judge but they are probably all diversity hires to begin with so building a complete sentence may be a skill they are still trying to develop. Although, you'd think the judge would proofread before its release and make necessary corrections - and maybe they suffer the same skill deficit.

Morning SL,

Know what story keeps spinning thru my mind…the story about RBG and how she was this powerful voice for women and blah, blah, blah, and a beacon of light for progressive legislation and so on and so forth. But in the end, when she was well beyond her ‘best before ‘ date, when her side desperately needed her to step down so they could get another leftist rat to take her place on the SC and at a time when they could have, she decided to ‘Hang in There’ just long enough to kick off under the Admin of DJT and give us (err You, apparently I have to differentiate today) Amy Barrett and our long awaited return to a 6-3 Conservative Court…at least on paper! If that isn’t a sign that God is on our side I can’t find another one.

And Tony, if you’re going to remind me about sentences that run on and on, I know but I was on a roll!

Expand full comment

Yes indeed. God was n control on that one.

And Mississippi’s William Falkner wrote massive run on sentences and is considered one of America’s great writers.

I read once that an early indication of dementia is excessive use of the conjunction “and.” That made quite an impression “and” reduced my tendency toward run on sentences.

KJB opinions make Whoopi Goldberg “The View” commentary’s seem like Cicero.

Expand full comment

The US Constitution and all state constitutions explicitly prohibit bills of attainder. “Attainder” is a term from English criminal law that equates to being declared tainted and having one’s civil rights nullified. A royal writ of attainder would declare somebody tainted and nullify their civil rights without a trial, declare them guilty of some crime and then punish them without benefit if trial. A bill of attainder attempts to single some person or entity out for punishment and then pass a law ex-post facto to punish them. It’s illegal. It is basically what they are doing to Trump and his team. Presidential records act, Espionage act, the Logan act, all have been used to selectively prosecute specific individuals for political reasons for crimes that either don’t exist or for novel interpretations ( never used before) of existing statutes. It’s un-American and illegal.

Men are men and women are women. Trying to rename anatomy to suit political objectives of mentally troubled people is absurd. Why more feminists are not defending women from these attacks by hostile men is a testament to the fact that all that matters is power for Democrats. There are no fundamental principles on the Left, only rhetorical BS rationalizing the current power putsch. You’re only as good as the Dems’ last election performance , preferred victim groups. Remember that.

Expand full comment

Correct, Tanto. It's exactly what is being done to Trump.

Here's my take on why many feminists, but not all, are not defending us: They have no use for the family and for women who have children and want to stay home by choice.

Women are not men. We all make different choices and should be supportive of them.

However, all women should be united in this attack against us. It's a real attempt to erase us.

Yeah. It’s just more hypocrisy from them either way. Susan B. Anthony is spinning in her grave.

It’s easy to be aggressive when nobody scary is attacking you. Now when the Establishment lives up behind the transsexual movement, suddenly the radical feminists are silent. Women (and men) should be calling them out in this.

Exactly.

I actually thought that was what the feminist movement was. The idea that women could be what they wanted, whither that was a mom, or a career or both. It was about having the choice. Now the new T movement is taking everything female and turning it to dirt.

That was my understanding, too. I chose both. It was very, very difficult. And there are always sacrifices and regrets.

"Bonus Holes.". What's the issue?? You smell and taste of poop 💩. I see no advantage in that nor do I want to. Maybe you should read the book "SHOGUN" to remind yourself of the sickness of homosexuality.

I mean what woman would want sex with someone who not only had hideous breath, but farted all the time.
