The Morning Rant
So, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to refer the nomination of ACB for a full Senate vote. The vote was unanimous because the committee Democrats, realizing they could not win the vote and didn't even show up, instead putting up pictures of individuals whom they believed would lose their Obamacare policies should the ACA be overturned. What a bunch of crybabies. So the full Senate will vote on ACB's nomination on Monday. Cocaine Mitch says he's got the votes to confirm, and I believe him. Heck, even the linguini-spined Mitt Romney announced he's on board. Mrs. Barrett was so poised, articulate, and , she may even win over a Democrat or two. And I'm sure all of those harrassing and threatening phone calls to Susan Collins' office are really going to pay off. Well played, Democrats. /sarc But what I actually wanted to discuss is a term that got tossed around in the hearing that I was unfamiliar with, "super-precedent." I had never heard it before, but it apparently it refers to SCOTUS rulings that are so well-established in law that they are considered impossible to overturn. Such as Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education. In other words:
Super precedents are the doctrinal, or decisional, foundations for subsequent lines of judicial decisions (often but not always in more than one area of constitutional law). Super precedents are those constitutional decisions in which public institutions have heavily invested, repeatedly relied, and consistently supported over a significant period of time. Super precedents are deeply embedded into our law and lives through the subsequent activities of the other branches. Super precedents seep into the public consciousness, and become a fixture of the legal framework.At one point in the hearings, the Democrats on the judiciary committee had on their pouty faces because Mr. Barrett would not agree that Roe v. Wade belonged in the "super precedent" category. That's when I first heard the phrase, and I immediately thought that it sounded like something a liberal jurist or legal scholar invented. But I was wrong. I think. This paper traces it back to it first being used by 4th Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig (a Bush 43 appointee). But this is something that I think the progressives are going to seize and pounce on and corrupt very quickly. Because they don't like to be challenged on, or criticized for, any of their bullshit. It's why they parade Greta Thunberg around as a climate change expert. If someone points out that she doesn't know what she's talking about, the response is "how dare you denigrate a child, you monster?". Progressives use children like terrorists do, as human shields. They need them to hide their mediocrity. Just as, during the Kavanaugh hearings, they always insisted that Ford made "credible accusations". The extra adjective is important Because if it's just a standard, garden-variety accusation, it's just an alleged accusation. The addition of "credible" was meant to short-circuit any possible objection, to proceed directly to the guilty verdict without having to go through the messy complications of an actual trial. Hereafter, all progressive accusations of sexual misconduct will be deemed "credible." And I think they're going grab onto "super precedent" and do the same sort of thing with it. They will recognize it as a weapon they can use to put their policies beyond any challenge, criticism, change, or appeal. Every time they win an important case, bang, they'll call it a "super precedent." Because what's theirs is theirs and what's ours is up for grabs. It's actually kind of like radical Islam dividing the world between the House of Faith, anc the House of War. And with both radical Islam and the religion of progressivism, we all of us here are living in the house of war.

Wednesday Who Dis: I learned something about teh Horde last time. Namely, hardly any of you watch the CW Network. Which I should've known because the age demographic here at the HQ skews high while the CW is mostly geared toward the teens-20s crowd. I don't think anybody recognized Elizabeth Gillies and Rafael de la Fuente without looking them up. They star in the Dynasty reboot. Which I had never known was a thing, so I went to Youtube and watched the Season 1 trailer. Ugh. It looks super sleazy.

528 Shutter Disney+ completely.

Really? Seems like that is the growth opportunity. Why so? Better to own and focus on the content than the distribution?
Posted by: That Guy (formerly SH) at October 23, 2020 11:11 AM (sX1BW)
=========
If they're going to get broken apart, I imagine it's by outside forces like the government.
I mostly hate the fact that production companies own their own
distribution. It flies in the face of the Paramount Decree (which the
DOJ is currently rolling back unfortunately).
Still, if everything gets split off, the problem kind of goes away
on its own. Disney+ just becomes another content license factory.
----------
James - is it your point that antitrust should prevent content and distribution from being jointly held and this is true now as it was decreed years ago? That is one argument. But from a financial argument, is it not in Disney's best financial interest to control distribution of their content in this new age under their own streaming app? I'm not sure I see the need to split Disney up if I were a shareholder.

The problem is always that people disagree on what Plain Language means, and they go to the Supreme Court to decide. And there we have the choice of the Three Umpires, in which the Supreme Court has generally decided that it's going to be the third:
1st Umpire: "I call 'em the way I see 'em."
2nd Umpire: "I call 'em the way they are!"
3rd Umpire: "It ain't nothin' until I call it!"

Yeah, it's an antitrust argument. Disney is reaping great rewards from Disney+. It's so good that some prominent shareholders are trying to force Disney to put more of their tentpole movies out on the service like they did with Mulan.
But if studios owning theaters was bad in the 40s and 50s, studios owning streaming channels is bad in the 2020s.
It turns into a racket that cuts out smaller distributors and forces the others to play by unfair rules (which is what led to the Paramount Decrees to begin with).
It will happen again.

OK, let's not get it twisted.
There is no such thing as a Supreme Court precedent WRT to Constitutional law. Every ruling on legislation or executive action in the history of the Court is a usurpation under Articles I-III and legally meaningless. If you don't believe me, and you possess the power of reading, you can go check it out yourself.
They just made that shit up. "Judicial review" is pure hocus-pocus.
There is most super-definitely no such super-thing as a super-precedent.

The interesting thing about Brown v. Board of Education being a super
precedent is that the left is reimposing segregation on us particularly
in the educational area. Because of this, there should be litigation
over the meaning of B v BOE, and if so does that now take it out of the
realm of being a super precedent.
These are the same people who say that the science is settled, and therefore no new evidence is to be considered. They say the love science, but I'm beginning to suspect they don't really know what it means.

Except, if Jonah had looked further than just the straight numbers, he'd see that early voting is favoring Democrats less this year than in previous cycles.
They're underperforming.
But that would have required about five minutes of research, so I can understand why he would have missed it.

It's not nothing. It's a promise that, in any similar case, the court will rule the same way so don't expect a different result.
The limit is that they only can rule on a case that is before them, and their docket is limited perforce, so it requires the executive to acquiesce for the doctrine to have any power.

2nd Umpire: "I call 'em the way they are!"
3rd Umpire: "It ain't nothin' until I call it!"

I don't necessarily agree with this. SD does not override the Constitution. The underlying and future cases must be grounded in the Constitution, but law is built upon law. It is the foundation of our common law heritage. It certainly doesn't mean you don't revisit cases. But my definition of SD is more limited than how the term is thrown around by the left.

But yeah, Trump's the bully, not the murderous mob over there being directed by the MSM-DNC.
It's also rich given that Biden really is a bully - he bullies regular citizens - as we've seen repeatedly at various campaign stops in the past year. The finger-poking a person's chest, the chewing out a reporter for asking about Hunter, etc.

Suggested solution:
Constitutional Amendment: Any landmark Federal court ruling that would have the effect of creating new law or significantly altering settled law must be submitted to the House of Representatives within two weeks, where it will be voted upon as a bill.
The ruling shall be suspended in its operation until voted into law, and rendered void if voted down.
In my opinion, giving the courts this limited form of legislative initiative is a lot less dangerous than allowing them to create law from the bench, and would properly restore the legislative power to the elected legislature.

Keeping unconstitutional laws from taking effect is a good thing that should be encouraged more not less.
And from a political perspective, I think that we'd be a better nation if the ACA had been uprooted completely like Kennedy wanted. The fight over control of SCOTUS might have actually diminished by now with the left realizing that their engine for change was already out of their hands.

The term is being used to avoid having to make an actual argument in defense of the result/policy. But as a purely descriptive matter, Roe v. Wade is super precedent. It will be modified; state laws more restrictive of abortion will be allowed. But conservatives who think the court is going to abrogate Roe v. Wade and allow states to outlaw abortion entirely should gird their loins for disappointment. You can't unlose the culture war in the Supreme Court.

It makes some sense to give a bit more weight to some precedents, but we should never use a super-precedent as a reason not to reverse a ruling. After all, by the accepted definition, the Dred Scott ruling would have been a super-precedent, and Brown v. Board would have never happened, either, if being super-precedents prevented them from being overturned.
Roe v. Wade was an unconstitutional ruling. It should be overturned. That said, I don't think overturning it would change very many laws.

I like Clint and a lot of his movies, but he is really not that nice of a guy. He, at times, really uses people.
Notice how Sondra Locke just about completely disappeared from the world when he dropped her.
People that have worked with him on his movies tend to like him, because he is not a tyrant on the set as a director.
Sometimes you just have to separate the actor and his work, from what he really is as a person.

standard, garden-variety accusation, it's just an alleged accusation.
The addition of "credible" was meant to short-circuit any possible
objection, to proceed directly to the guilty verdict without having to
go through the messy complications of an actual trial.

Outer World is the best game I've played in ages. I'd put it above Bethesda efforts. It might be less open, tighter and smaller, but it's perfect. I've played it through twice now, once as a goody-two-shoes and once as a psychopath. Apparently, you can get even more psychotic - it doesn't come natural to me.
Glitch free, great action and smart AI. And FUNNY AF! There's some interactions with certain characters that are priceless.
You'll enjoy it a lot more than Fallout 3, because of the replay value and way it changes the story. I was thinking of dusting it off again for the rainy season.

I wonder if pollsters are picking up the shy Biden voters. Lots of Ohio and Minnesota voters still have questions about the Trump tower meeting from 2016 with Natalia Vesselntiskaya. But will they bring it up with a random guy on the telephone? We'll know soon enough.
=======
That is gold medal stupid, right there, trying to steal Trump's victory pattern from '16 and give it to Establishment Joe. Ohio is pretty much in the "win for Trump" category, with the Biden voters being loudly defiant, even though their public support is about 1:12 outside of the usual blue bubble communities.

Outer World is the best game I've played in ages. I'd put it above Bethesda efforts. It might be less open, tighter and smaller, but it's perfect. I've played it through twice now, once as a goody-two-shoes and once as a psychopath. Apparently, you can get even more psychotic - it doesn't come natural to me.
Glitch free, great action and smart AI. And FUNNY AF! There's some interactions with certain characters that are priceless.
You'll enjoy it a lot more than Fallout 3, because of the replay value and way it changes the story. I was thinking of dusting it off again for the rainy season.

He lies right to you face with a grin. Then when caught red handed he says in order, I didn't say that, that's not what I meant by what I said, you don't know that's what I meant, then well I made a mistake for not correcting that mistake sooner but I didn't intend for you to believe me so literally.
He's vulgar: this is a big f'ning deal only he really said it on an open mic in a national press conference with the president and the nation watching.

There was a time when the media loathed him, probably because back then there were actual viable candidates instead of a backstabbing grifter.
There's a solid 30 years of video that would make great political ads, especially from the 70's. I hope Trump campaign dusts off some of his interviews, because I think some black voters would turn white if they heard some of the shit he used to say.

A vulnerability (perhaps *the* main vulnerability) of Originalism is that if it is applied consistently and literally, some very old and important cases, laws, and practices would have to be overturned and invalidated. Just to use one example, West Virginia was not created with Virginia's express consent, the Constitution does not permit Congress to create paper money, the Presidential Succession Act is unconstitutional,and Brown v. Board of Education was improperly decided. Overturning those would cause absolute chaos, but they can't be upheld under strict Originalism.
The "super-precedent" is one solution (or one way to describe several solutions) to this problem. Basically we find the old cases and practices that would simply be too chaotic to overturn, and we keep them in place. One brilliant way to do this is for Originalists on the Supreme Court to simply refuse to hear challenges to those cases. The Supreme Court's review is always discretionary, so Orginalists can just say "nah, we're not gonna review that" if anyone tries to appeal, say, paper money. In the meantime, the Court can hope that the political branches find a way to resolve those problems on their own. For example, Virginia could decide to formally recognize West Virginia, retroactive to 1860. So for an Orginalist, a "super-precedent" is a case/law/practice that:
(1) Would cause absolute chaos if overturned;
(2) Is old; and
(3) Has been more or less accepted by everyone forever.
That means Roe v. Wade is out. The third prong definitely cannot be satisfied, and the "chaos" prong really is in the eye of the beholder.
Of course, what the left means by "super-precedent" is "we're slapping this label on cases we really like, and you're not allowed to overturn them." So then Roe v. Wade is super-precedent, but Heller v. District of Coumbia isn't. It's pretty obviously a dishonest power-grab, but leftists gonna left.
