Supreme Court Rules That States May Stop Medicaid Payments to Planned Parenthood, Completely
Update: Ketanji Brown Jackson Confesses Dozeons of Times "I Just Don't Understand"

Sorry, back to the Supreme Court. (There's a lot of this today.)

This decision is from yesterday.

Later in the post I discuss Ketanji Brown-Jackson's objection to having to actually read the law when "interpreting" the law.

States previously had the power to forbid Medicaid dollars from being used by Planned Parenthood for abortions. Supposedly -- we all know this is a lie, because money is fungible.

Now the Supreme Court says that states may cut Planned Parenthood off completely.

State Media NPR:

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed South Carolina to bar Planned Parenthood's access to federal Medicaid funding for non-abortion services. The decision allows states to ban the organization from getting Medicaid reimbursements for cancer screenings and other care not related to abortion.

LOL, sure, Planned Parenthood is known for its cancer care services.

At issue was a provision of the federal Medicaid law that guarantees Medicaid patients the ability to choose their doctors, or in the words of the statute, they are entitled to "any qualified and willing provider." South Carolina, however, maintained that it could disqualify Medicaid providers for "any reason that state law allows." Or as Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, put it, "Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize abortion providers who are in direct opposition to their beliefs."
On Thursday, the Supreme Court -- by a 6-3 vote along ideological lines -- agreed.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the court majority, said that regardless of the words in the statute, the law does not "clearly and unambiguously" provide individuals the right to sue to enforce the "any qualified provider" measure, as Congress didn't specifically authorize such suits.
"Though it is rare enough for any statute to confer an enforceable right, spending-power statutes like Medicaid are especially unlikely to do so," he wrote. And he wrote that allowing someone to sue over one aspect of Medicaid plan requirements could also open the door to a flood of lawsuits over other requirements.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, writing for the dissenting liberal justices, described the case as a civil rights issue, saying citizens have the right to sue over deprivation of rights.
...
The court's decision comes at an important time for Planned Parenthood, which is facing financial difficulties nationwide -- NPR reports that Planned Parenthood has closed at least 34 clinics since last year. And in Congress there is pending federal legislation that, if passed, would eliminate all federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

Related: The Genius Ketanji Brown Jackson attacks her colleagues for being "textualists" -- that is, they make their rulings based on the actual text of the Constitution and the text of laws -- rather than just free-ballin' it and claiming the law means whatever she wants it to mean this morning.

ABC "News" think that this stance makes The Genius look good.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unloaded on her Supreme Court colleagues Friday in a series of sharp dissents, castigating what she called a "pure textualism" approach to interpreting laws, which she said had become a pretext for securing their desired outcomes, and implying the conservative justices have strayed from their oath by showing favoritism to "moneyed interests."
The attack on the court's conservative majority by the junior justice and member of the liberal wing is notably pointed and aggressive but stopped short of getting personal.

She's accusing them of twisting the law on behalf of "moneyed interests." How much more personal can she get?

She's Jasmine Ratchet in a robe.

Can't wait until Alito or Thomas gets similarly "short of personal" with her, and her qualifications to sit on the Court. Update: I wrote this yesterday, before I knew of today's majority opinion trashing the Highly Unqualified Ketanji.

It laid bare the stark divisions on the court and pent-up frustration in the minority over what Jackson described as inconsistent and unfair application of precedent by those in power.
Jackson took particular aim at Justice Neil Gorsuch's majority opinion in a case brought by a retired Florida firefighter with Parkinson's disease who had tried to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act after her former employer, the City of Sanford, canceled extended health insurance coverage for retirees who left the force before serving 25 years because of a disability.

Gorsuch wrote that the landmark law only protects "qualified individuals" and that retirees don't count. The ADA defines the qualified class as those who "can perform the essential functions of the employment position that such individual holds or desires."
"This court has long recognized that the textual limitations upon a law's scope must be understood as no less a part of its purpose than its substantive authorizations," Gorsuch concluded in his opinion in Stanley v. City of Sanford. It was joined by all the court's conservatives and liberal Justice Elena Kagan.
Jackson fired back, accusing her colleagues of reaching a "stingy outcome" and willfully ignoring the "clear design of the ADA to render a ruling that plainly counteracts what Congress meant to -- and did -- accomplish" with the law. She said they had "run in a series of textualist circles" and that the majority "closes its eyes to context, enactment history and the legislature's goals."
"I cannot abide that narrow-minded approach," she wrote.

I forgot to mention in the previous post: Barret insulted Jackson by stating that Jackson doesn't know the difference between a judgment and an opinion.

A judgment is the basic "this side wins, this side loses" part of a ruling. You have to pay this guy $50,000. You have to stop building housing complexes on an old Indian burial site.

The opinion announces the rule underlying that judgment, and announces the rule-going-forward in all similar cases.

Coney made the point that lowly district court justices can only render judgments for the parties before it -- but then their opinions assert an anti-constitutional unlimited jurisdiction across the entire country. And Coney accuses Jackson of not being able to tell a judgment from an opinion. This distinction may be lost on a layman who doesn't understand the legalese of the law, like Ketanji Brown Jackson, but it is extremely important to actual jurists who weren't absent the day they taught law in law school.

Coney says that Jackson ignorantly believes that a mere opinion about cases well outside of a lowly district judge's jurisdiction have the full force of law.

The whole article -- by ABC "News" -- is about the ignorant Ketanji's constant dunking on her colleagues for believing that the text of the law matters when interpreting the law. ABC "News" thinks she's a brave, tough-talking hero, like other progressive Moron-Heroes like Donkey-Chompers and Jasmine Ratchet.

So just so you know -- liberals pick and choose from a thousand different outside factors they can use to challenge, undermine, and twist the actual language of the law. They will claim, for example, that if someone proposed an amendment to a law which was rejected by legislators, that amendment should still be consulted to determine "legislative intent." They claim that everything can be used to "interpret" the text of a law except for the actual text of the law.

They're big fans of citing legislative and judicial decisions in foreign countries as evidence of a supposed "consensus" among "world authorities."

Of course, they only pick and choose these extraneous sources according to how they advance the progressive/communist cause. They never will cite legislative history to advance a conservative interpretation.

Congress passing a law is only one step in the legislative process, radicals believe. The second step is stuffing into that law a whole wish list of leftwing priorities, stuff Congress could have put into the law but didn't, or even stuff that was proposed to be added to the law but was affirmatively rejected.

It doesn't matter. Leftwing judges think they have plenary power to say a law means whatever they wish it to mean. The actual law is just a starting point for their Judicial Jazz Odysseys.

Note that racist race-hustler and DEI hire Jamelle Bouie thinks that Ketanji can take shots at her white colleagues all day long, but the moment they point out that she seems perfectly ignorant of the law, it's "racialized disrespect."

By the way, "Jamelle" is a made-up name, but it's even worse, because the -elle ending is a feminine ending. At least if you're going to make up names, try to have a basic understanding of how language works. The male form of this made-up name would be "Jamel."

Update: "I don't understand."

Yes, we know dear.

🚨 INBOX: If there's one thing we know about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson this term - it's that she doesn't understand.

I guess in fairness I should say that this is a standard leftwing tic: Saying "I don't understand" when you mean "I disagree."

But given her proven confusion about the law and Constitution, we have to at least consider the possibility that she's being literal.

Just because PP pretends to offer other health-related services doesn't mean their only product is abortion.

=======

shipwreckedcrew's take is that she spent so little time on the Circuit (roughly a year) after 8 years in her district position before Biden appointed her to SCOTUS that she never developed any intellectual tools for how the higher courts actually work.

She treats SCOTUS like a trial court.

Seems about right.

And just think of all the other 700 district court judges out there.

15 As I said earlier thread.

The mere existence of the terms or concepts of "textualist" or "originalist" is the universe's way of trying to clue in lazy thinkers that the entire enterprise is off the rails.

We both sign a contract obligating me to pay you for services rendered. You render the service. I refuse to pay you. Because I don't think the clear language of the contract obligates me to do so.

So you are a "textualist", meaning you argue that a document means what it says.

Glorified clerks. "isms" and "doctrines" and all kinds of very unimpressive obscurantist crap that the society just defers to. No chance of relief from this, given inertia and the Legal Cult, but good to point it out once in a while so actually thinking people realize there common sense reactions are sound.

37 As was almost a certainty even without confirmation, US refueling assets did in fact help with Israeli air operations. Their refueling fleet is far too small for 1,200 sorties/600 refuelings (sort of official numbers) in 11 days.

Which casts IDF CoS's otherwise encouraging/sensible statement about Israel treating Iran as an ongoing problem with military action always on the table in a slightly different light. Though the op tempo for limited strikes might well be handled without help.

Well then, let me tell you about this thing called an "Order" ....

Generally, "judgments" come only at the end of the case, and represent the final outcome of the lower-court proceedings. There wouldn't be a "judgment" at any prior stage of the case. There would be an "Order" directing the parties to do something. That's why it's called a Temporary Restraining Order.

The opinion usually does more than set forth the "rule." It explains the reasoning behind why the court decided as it did.

He was as involved in her selection as pretty much any other president, telling his aides basic guidelines and then his aides bringing him a name. Maybe there were 2 or 3. Maybe he met with them.

75 This is wonderful news for all (ok, except liberal feminists who shave their heads to prevent babies...or imagined rape...vs closing their legs).

Medicaid comes from tax dollars. I should not be paying for an unborn baby to be killed.

This is going to set the pink puthy hat/ Handmaiden's Daughter's hair on fire! It is their "healthcare!" Right. Planned Parenthood does squat but birth control, and their main ticket is abortion. It is a total myth they do mammograms...or most of them. Some barely do ultrasounds before an abortion to see the age of the baby.

There is always, out of pocket, buying the day after pill in drug stores. I know because I saw a partial wall of pill selections in a Walgreen's in the last year. I guess if they can spare the change from drugs they can buy the pills on their dime and no one is the wiser.

80 Sotomayor claims the legislative history around the passing of the 14th includes proponents discussing and agreeing that it would grant citizenship to illegal aliens.

But that doesn't explain why either the "or naturalized" and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" parts were thought necessary.

If any and all born here--regardless of legal status--were intended to be citizens, neither clause is needed or necessary.

She also takes great pains to obscure that "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a legal, precise, technical term of art, and not merely "oh, it just means subject to the criminal laws."
It's the difference between "can be arrested" and "can be drafted."

Illegal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the sovereign because they cannot be compelled to war on its behalf.

It's a tell: The great pains the left is taking to hide these questions reveals they know it was never meant to naturalize children of illegal aliens.

97 People's Hippo Voice, I thought the legislative history of the 14th was absolutely clear, and per your comment the language of the amendment precisely addressed any possible misinterpretations of the sort now being advanced as actual arguments.

An amendment that only was adopted to fix the specific and unique issue of citizenship for freed slaves, and specifically included language to exclude other people and issues, obviously had nothing to do with creating "birthright citizenship". Obviously.

Yet the betting seems to be that the "judiciary" will legislate this absurd, destructive, and baseless right into existence.

207 Judges strike down lots of laws and legislation that’s ambiguous or unclear as unconstitutional because a normal person cannot know or understand what is expected or prohibited by the law. This is of course correct.

Ketjani is using extrajudicial unwritten text and language to assist her in upholding or denying any kind of conservative outcome that does not follow the liberal line.

She is dangerous and her idiocy is clear. Judges interpret the law. They do not make it.

Depends on the artist, a few of them know how to properly end a song. But yeah, most of them are like you described.

The worst are pasty white blues guitarists working the local bar. If you walk in before the band starts up, look for the white bearded guy wearing a fedora with his Aloha shirt, jeans and running shoes. That's the guitarist. And I guarantee that you'll hear him introduce at least 3 songs as "lets play a blues in G" before doing a 15 minute medium speed shuffle.

226 157 They're big fans of citing legislative and judicial decisions in foreign countries as evidence of a supposed "consensus" among "world authorities."

There's a vid out there of Scalia and Breyer discussing this and other stuff on stage at a law school somewhere. Breyer's argument is that he's trying to solve a problem and if there's a solution in foreign law, isn't it best to find the right solution rather than be bound by law and precedent?

Scalia isn't having it. IIRC, Scalia points out that if it isn't in precedent or text, it isn't the right answer because power doesn't rest with the judge, it rests with the people, and is expressed in the text. Reaching beyond the scope of the people is a usurpation of their Sovereignty.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 25 rejected a request to reconsider the state's congressional maps ahead of next year's midterm elections, all but ensuring the current maps will remain in place for 2026.

The liberal-controlled court's decision, which was made without comment from the justices, marked the second time in the past two years that the court has rejected a push from Democrats to change the battleground state's federal maps. It is a loss for Democrats who sought more favorable lines as they aim to retake control of the House in 2026.

I tried to replace the keyboard in my work laptop (I have typed the letters off a couple keys, and when it gets hot several letters stop working in the top row).

The problem is, this model of Inspiron you have to literally remove all the components to get to the keyboard, and in the process of attempting to do so (and failing, another story) I had to unplug the wireless card, about the size of a postage stamp.

Well, one of the leads to the card will not click back in. Cannot be reattached. So its dead and the computer is relying on some really crappy onboard wireless and its godafwul. So sometimes it takes me like 5 minutes to respond to anything here which on this board is a lifetime.

As a one-time lowly law clerk for a district court judge ... keep in mind that law clerks are literal know-nothings. The ones who clerk for the supremes, their experience usually consists of a court of appeals clerkship. They are young and inexperienced. The only thing they bring to the table is credentials, which once translated to high intelligence and academic accomplishment, but we've seen what has happened to credentialism. Law clerks are basically just a laboring oar for the judge; if the judge doesn't have his or her act together, their law clerks aren't going to be able to keep the judge upright.

307 On the most brutish non-euphemistic level, this ruling will help to accelerate the self-extinction of the left and the proliferation of the right:

Conservative states can now de-fund abortion and make it less accessible, while liberal states will continue to fund, promote and celebrate abortion.

End result will be that most pregnancies in liberal states will end in the death of the fetus, while most pregnancies in conservative states will conclude with the birth of a live child.

That child will then be raised in a conservative household, where the values, morals and voting patterns of the parents will tend to be carried forward by the children.

End result: Population growth amongst conservatives, population decline amongst liberals. And that leads to more conservative members of congress, which means most conservative presidential electors every four years.

Short version: Sayonara, Democratic Party.

---
Bondi kept saying it'll be decided in October.

Note: These injunctions were to stop the Administration from even developing or studying how to implement the EO.
Not "end birthright citizenship" but "review policies and develop plans to implement the end of birthright citizenship."

That's what made them insane--no one was harmed because nothing was actually DONE yet.

But "could be harmed by even studying it" was enough to grant a nationwide injunction.

I gave up on shipping up here years ago. About half of what I can order online says they don't ship to a PO Box in Alaska, or they just plain don't ship to Alaska. It's odd, because a USPS flat rate box is the same price up here as anywhere else. Then there are whole manufacturers who won't ship to Alaska, odd ones like Smartwool Socks and IKEA. Those are no-go. Some stuff from Home Depot won't ship here, but you can arrange a drop-ship deal from Seattle. They really don't believe we are a real state.

There is a saxophone player who did a cover of the terrific 80s song Golden Brown by mixing it into Take Five, and its amazing. I recommend looking it up, I cannot get Youtube to load well enough to get a link. Youtube is a HUGE bandwidth hog

367 I know gay clubland was full of amphetamines and molly in the 1980s, because the music was full of references to all that. Maybe when they get too old for that shit they quit.

or the courts. Look, Roberts needs to just assert a disciplinary procedure for negating these nonsense TROs, like having them instant rejected by appeals or the supreme court judge if they defy a SCOTUS decision or settled law. If he did that and said 'this is how it is now' Congress probably would go along with it.

The massive abuse of the 'random judge selection' is also a scandal that should be rubbed out.
