The Morning Report

The Morning Report - 5/3/22

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and what I had planned on writing about this morning is right out the window. Evidently some future MSNBC pundit with the major book deal after the Kevin Clinesmith wrist slap for meritorious service - reading from his/her citation now - leaked a draft report from the Supreme Court, written by Justice Samuel Alito, that purportedly overturns Roe v. Wade in a brave attempt to preserve "our precious democracy" (*vomit*). The decision stems from a case before the court right now, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, No. 19-1392.

Breitbart contributor and legal eagle Ken Klukowski breaks it down with some granular analysis, but there is one crucial angle to this that I want to explore that dovetails rather well with our fundamental transformation into not just a gray, stagnant Euro-style socialist failure but a Godless, totalitarian police state that demands conformity and obedience or death.

. . . why this might not actually become the actual decision of the Supreme Court. It takes five votes on the nine-member court to make it a majority opinion. When cases are argued, the justices have a weekly closed-door conference on Friday at which they discuss the case, take a preliminary vote, and one justice from the majority is assigned the task of writing the opinion.
After that opinion is written, it is circulated to the other justices. That is when the negotiating begins, where justices say that they could join if certain changes are made, and others decide to dissent and organize that writing effort. Still, other justices join the majority judgment but write concurring opinions to emphasize some point important to them.
At any time during this process, justices can change their vote. And it happens. Often the cases do not grab headlines. But earthshattering decisions like the one upholding Obamacare in 2012, NFIB v. Sebelius, bears the hallmarks of being such a case.
This then appears to be an effort to intimidate a moderate conservative justice to switch sides, in which case this opinion would become a dissenting opinion, and a liberal justice’s opinion would speak for the majority.
The threat here appears to be court-packing. In the 1937 Jones & Laughlin Steel case, two Supreme Court justices switched from years of their own precedents to reinterpret the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, fundamentally transforming the power of the federal government over the nation.
They did this in an unnecessary attempt to stop FDR’s plan to pack the court with six new justices, for a total of 15. It was unnecessary because the plan was already collapsing, but the public intimidation convinced a couple of members of the court to virtually transform the nation.
Democrats have explored court packing over the past two years for the first time in eight decades. Doubtless many on the left will claim that now they have to do it.
Finally, the Supreme Court’s credibility is at stake to see this through. If anyone switches their vote because of this, the court will take more than a generation to regain the trust of the American people.
To the contrary, the justices should double-down. This is likely a 5-4 decision, because this betrayal looks like an intimidation tactic to get one justice to change his mind. Since the decision is in many ways out, those five should stop the pressure by all signing the latest version of it, and publishing it immediately as a binding decision of the Court. Those with dissents or concurrences can publish them later if they are so inclined. But this shameful debacle and the immediate pressure campaign it is creating should end now, with the court handing down the decision in Dobbs.

With all due respect to Ken Klukowski, given some of the horrendous decisions the court has handed down over the years, the credibility of the Supreme Court, such as he and others perceive it, is an illusion. On top of that, its unintended and unprecedented elevation to that of an oracle whose proclamations are virtually irreversible and subvert what was supposed to be the precedence of Congress and more to the point the will and ultimate power of the people as laid out in the 9th and 10th Amendments (okay, stop laughing), only underscore my assertion. That said, for sure there is intimidation going on but it's considerably more than merely packing the court. Flashback to March 5th, 2020:

Sorry, Charlie: Your excuse for threatening Supreme Court justices doesn’t cut it.
New York’s own Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, tried Thursday to walk back the direct threats he made to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — but he only dug the hole deeper.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” he huffed at a pro-abortion rally Wednesday. His goal: To intimidate the court to nix a Louisiana law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Now set the Wayback Machine for the halcyon days of January, 2017 when this greasy criminal bastard threatened President-elect Trump:

The new leader of Democrats in the Senate says Donald Trump is being "really dumb" for picking a fight with intelligence officials, suggesting they have ways to strike back, after the president-elect speculated Tuesday that his "so-called" briefing about Russian cyberattacks had been delayed in order to build a case.
"Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday evening on MSNBC after host Rachel Maddow informed him that intelligence sources told NBC news that the briefing had not been delayed.

Well, we have seen up close and personal what the intelligence community tried and ultimately succeeded in doing to President Trump and the American people from 2016 all the way up to January 6th, 2020, right up to the present day. Phony evidence, entrapment scams and kangaroo courts that have destroyed the lives of Trump associates and advisers, as well as ordinary citizens who are still rotting in jail. Two, Ashli Babbit and Roseanne Boyland who were murdered in cold blood by agents of the State, while another committed suicide.

We also have seen and continue to see acts of political violence and terrorism, from the barrel of a gun aimed at Republicans by Dick Durbin/Bernie Sanders-linked James Hodgkinson, as well as mass rioting from Democrat-approved and even funded terrorist organizations BLM and Antifa. The thought of waking up having to put the flames out from the backs of your children must have crossed the minds of Republican state legislators who considered tossing the Biden electors in those swing states that were stolen from Trump. Ditto for John Roberts when he took it upon himself to declare that the individual mandate was a tax and therefore kosher. If not that, then perhaps his alleged hinky adoption or frequent flyer miles on the Epstein Pedo Express. I'd hate to think it was dreading being excluded from the D.C. cocktail party circuit.

Same deal is in play here and now. They're already figuratively gunning for Clarence Thomas via his wife Ginni being targeted by this January 6th kangaroo court. I'll say it here and now, if they thought they could assassinate Thomas and Alito they wouldn't hesitate to have them taken out. Given everything we have seen over the past five or more years, as well as the confirmed corruption of federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, my assertion is very much in the realm of possibility.

That said, would that be a black swan event that would produce blowback? And that brings us to the other reason for this leak. The upcoming predicted electoral disaster that the Democrats are facing this coming November and perhaps into 2024. The Kalorama Klown Komintern via Sponge Brain Square Depends have done more destruction to every aspect of our nation and society in just 15 months than the years of the New Deal, Fair Deal, Square Deal and Great Society combined. Along with absolutely galvanizing the entirety of American-Americans, the Left is hemorrhaging black-Americans, Latino-Americans and every other solidly Democrat-voting hyphenate-American voting bloc it relies upon to always unthinkingly drag them over the finish line election after election.

The leaking of this decision is a political Hail Mary (no pun) meant to rally the true believers. Yet given all of the aforementioned, can their base alone - not including the 100 or so additional illegitimate votes for every one real one cast - overcome our base, motivated like never before? It should be noted that the sexualization and mutilation of children in the classroom via Jive Kampf crackpot race nuttery and transsexualism is driving much of the crossover voters away from Democrats. I would think abortion is also an issue that would do this as well, especially if it could be piggybacked onto the issue of perverse sexual politics. It seems to be a natural, but it requires the political will on the GOP's part to engage in. If history teaches us anything, it should be not to rely on that outcome. Especially vis a vis abortion. It has always been the kryptonite to establishment Republicans who did not want to fight the culture war. Yet as Breitbart stated, politics is downstream from culture. This, coupled with the deviancy are and should be winning issues.

Funny how the Left is screaming now to pack the court, to make it "legitimate" again. I guess it's only legitimate when the decisions it hands down affirm the Left's preferred policy positions. Just like we need a "Disinformation Governance Board" to ensure free speech. That is speech that affirms and agrees with the Left's preferred policy decisions.

I am hoping and praying that the intimidation does not work and that Roe is effectively overturned. It could also have some interesting ramifications insofar as the prospects for national divorce are concerned. How ironic indeed if the Left invokes the 9th and 10th Amendments and "states rights."

I don't see it being much of an effect. For the people that this matters for on the democrat side they are already their "super-voters" meaning that these people will turn out every single election no matter what. So you can bring out the war drums for them and amass a bigger army because the people that would turn out for this are already here.

11 From the tech thread....
>>SCOTUS was/is how the legislature escapes responsibility, and now the hot potato is being tossed back?

It's not really a hot potato(e), abortion will simply go back to the status it had before the abomination the is RvW was vomited forth by a constitutionally illiterate and unmoored SCOTUS.

Women will still be able to get abortions, federal and state governments will still pay for it, some states will restrict abortion, some states will become baby killing factories.

The bottom line is RvW was bad law and it's deleterious effects have been politically, culturally and institutionally corrosive.

Seven months before a midterm election, the former president insisted that while content moderation can limit the distribution of clearly dangerous content, it doesnt go far enough. Therefore, these big platforms need to be subject to some level of public oversight and regulation that surely he will be closely involved in overseeing.

Not that it will happen, I guess. But, the riots and violence that are sure to follow, and over-running the Supreme Court that is sure to follow(Jan 6 but, you know, with actual insurrection style violence and destruction), should lat people know where the danger lies in this country and it sure as hell isn't in some phone-baloney fantasy "white supremacy".

It WAS! For God's sake, how long are we going to keep floating these vaporous theories of how poor, poor John Roberts was "blackmailed" because he loved his kiddies sooooooo much? How old are they now, anyway? Are we going to suggest Roberts is still quaking in his drawers that they'll be sent back to an orphanage when they're in their 40s?

Come on, people, stop with the Dickensian drama. What's more likely with people like Roberts - that he's a noble soul tortured into doing things against his will, or he's just a sleazy little crook who's been bought? Blackmail is a tool that will work for anyone who gets his hands on it. If Roberts is truly being blackmailed, why is it only ONE side that can manage to apply the pressure to get their way? Why couldn't Trump blackmail him when he was president? It's because it's not about blackmail; it's who can pay him off with the goodies he values, and it's not the Right.

Whether it's this notion that freedom of the press only extends to a certain "proper" class instead of anyone with the means to publish their opinions, or the typical hand-wringing at the notion of an Article V because the "wrong decisions" might results, one constant remains; this idea that we are no longer self-governing. Rather, and both sides play this game, the act of governing must be limited to a properly educated and qualified minority that can be trusted to arrive at the "correct" decisions. This is the kind of crap that occurs when you build an entirely outsized and over-powerful government, all while sleepily confident that the top men will always do the right thing from within the trustworthy agencies.

This doesn't get corrected by reforming government. This only gets corrected by reducing government.

I see it as the perfect rationale for justifying all the cheating they are going to continue to do. Just like they did in November 2020.

They are going to cheat again, because they still control every voting process in every state. They just needed something to say "this is the reason the Democrats won". Now they have it.

Previously, it would have been obvious they cheated to win, because every poll shows Democrats going down in flames. Now when they cheat, they can point to "outrage" about the prospect of overturning Roe. It will still be a lie, of course, but it's a lie they can sell. Afterall, who's going to stop them.

So true. The original Texas law challenged in Roe allowed for an abortion upon an independent medical finding of grave risk to the actual physical health of the mother. In essence it afforded the unborn due process.

That's the problem, the GOP never wants to say exactly that, publicly. The next time a stark raving mad lib starts going on about abortion in your public circle, all you have to do is repeat "the right to scrape a living child screaming in pain from the womb". Do it a few times, and you'll have them screaming like a lunatic, and everyone else in the circle staring at them like the monster they are. How do I know this ? Because I've done it, several times.

Assuming they don't blow everything up (both figuratively in the Senate and literally on the streets of blue enclave cities), the end result will be a whole lot of dedicated progressives never moving out of their failing blue states. Ever.

It will probably lead to some progressives leaving decent jobs in red states to go back to blue states after their decade of trying to change South Carolina or whatever comes to naught and the state outlaws abortion entirely. The bifurcation of the country will speed up.

They are going to cheat again, because they still control every voting process in every state. They just needed something to say "this is the reason the Democrats won". Now they have it.

Previously, it would have been obvious they cheated to win, because every poll shows Democrats going down in flames. Now when they cheat, they can point to "outrage" about the prospect of overturning Roe. It will still be a lie, of course, but it's a lie they can sell. Afterall, who's going to stop them. They control every institution in the country and the GOP is part of the Deep State.

This is insane. To ask midwives, whose sole goal is a healthy birth for baby and mother, to assist in killing the baby goes not only against their stated purpose but against their consciences. Anyone else think that the Biden administration striking down the conscience rule is NOT a coincidence?

165 117 Wouldn't a decision that upheld 15 weeks be a better political outcome, leaving Roe in place but curtailing it significantly. Would have led to more use of morning after pills.

Posted by: Ignoramus at May 03, 2022 08:00 AM (i0slg)

No because Roe is simply a bad decision. The court tortured itself to come up with the ruling it wanted. Throwing it back to the states is better. Also, killing a baby a five days isn't better than killing it at 100 days.
Posted by: WiNO - Against Uniparty Baby Killers and Groomers at May 03, 2022 08:02 AM (EpDzw)

I'll mention Rekieta's stream again because they of course talked about Roe extensively. Kept calling it a bad ruling. And pointing out that the argument for Roe is that it exists, and that's about it. It was even pretty much RBG argument for it. So even their St. Ginsberg couldn't give an actual argument for it.

184 That said, would that be a black swan event that would produce blowback?
++++
Probably not. That said, I'm ambivalent about whether I want it to. The rot is so deep and so broad that blowback, when it happens, will destroy the country. I still firmly believe that is why the solid Company Man - although probably not demonic - Bill Barr did so little when he took over as AG. If the extent of the damage and corruption was known to all, it would have a strong chance of bringing down the federal government. Barr, being a good Company Man, was unwilling to take that risk. I think that, essentially, Trump was in the same place. He's a reformer, not a revolutionary.

But reform is impossible, so revolution is what will happen. Eventually. I doubt it happens soon, but I think it is inevitable at this point. The system can't be fixed and so it will eventually be replaced. That "blowback," when it happens, will have profound and extreme consequences.

Reform is exactly what's being done with Roe if the reports are accurate and the vote holds. They aren't striking it down because abortion is evil even if some believe that. They are striking it down because it was bad law created out of judicial activism.

That has always been the problem with the modern court. It got away from Its constitutional role and turned into a super legislature.

Easy enough. It was absolutely the right of the Southern states to leave. It's not a Republic if you're compelled to stay, anymore than the Warsaw Pact was a Republic.

And besides, if slavery really was so onerous to the citizens of the North, the correct move would have been to cut all ties of association with the South. Given the draft and other actions by Lincolns, I'd guess the opposition to slavery by the average Northerner at the time has been highly exaggerated. Lies in a history book ? Who would have thought.

I don't disagree. The problem, however, is at its core the deep state not the judiciary. The judiciary is largely captured and usually smooths the road, but if they don't then they don't. The state has never been all that shy about ignoring the courts when they need to.

246 Most full- scale capital-R Revolutions arise from a truly intolerable state of affairs. A fundamentally unrepairable system. What we have is a perfectly good system with a small cadre of bad actors perverting that system, misusing it, and leveraging an insane ideology into just enough public support to cow the silent majority into inaction.

We don't *need* to blow up the system. We need to marginalize and eradicate that cadre of bad actors and chop their illusion of popular support out from under them. The only way to do that is cultural shift, which i really think is exactly where we are. Once the culture at large is mobilized and vocal enough, you could have a full purge of the state from these bad actors in government and the military without risking full on Burning Times.

We won't vote our way out of this until we can mock our way out of this. We truly are smack dab in the middle of a Meme War.

It's typically the clerks who come under suspicion, but it could easily be one of the hyper-politicized justices. Elena Kagan, making a secret call to her buddy Obama in Kalorama, or Sonia Sotomayor calling one of her lefty media or feminazi friends. The justices know the other justices better than any of the clerks do. They probably think they know which one of the conservatives can be intimidated with public pressure, and they decided to use it.

I hope you're right. I do think the federal government is irreparable. I guess we'll see, eventually, whether it can be fixed or not. My belief that revolution of some kind - eventually, thought not soon - is inevitable is because I think the top-level system cannot be salvaged. I do not believe that this is a cadre of bad actors. There certainly is one of those, but the rot runs much deeper. The bad actors are backed up an insulated bureaucracy that numbers into the millions and have no respect for - or possibly even knowledge of - how the system is supposed to work.

314 In 2019, women in their 20s accounted for more than half of abortions (56.9%). Women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for the highest percentages of abortions (27.6% and 29.3%, respectively) and had the highest abortion rates (19.0 and 18.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively).

Because abortion is birth control and the young have been instructed to fuck like rabbits with no consequence.

Rabbi says "you're both wrong. Life begins when your youngest goes off to college, and the dog dies."

377 It does not gain Democrats a single vote they didn't already had. In fact, this act puts more distance between them and people who were already moving away. They will simply further alienate that group and move them closer to more reasonable people in the middle. Their is a historic opportunity to bring people together into a coalition that will rule this country for a long time. I hope Republicans and the voters remember that. This is not a time for divisive rhetoric and fighting old grudges. It is a time to move forward, together on a set of interests that most of the American people can agree on.

I know a guy who pressured his Catholic wife into having an abortion because the timing wasn't right for his career. They later divorced.

Once remarried, he had an only child with birth defects. I'd bet a day doesn't go by when he thinks of divine retribution.

It won't hurt the abortion lovers one iota. What it likely will hurt - as things like VA and CA talking about legalizing outright post-birth infanticide have - is people who are friendly toward abortion but not hardcore, abortion-as-sacrament activists. In 25 years, it's gone from "safe, legal and rare" to "kill infants after birth and use taxpayer money to do it."

Their real enthusiastic soldiers won't care how far they push or how much noise they make or how evil it is, but I suspect there are a ton of casual supporters who are arriving at a "if the alternative to banning it is this kind of evil, then I guess I'll put up with banning it" kind of position.

392 grammie, yep. Have a SIL that had an abortion. I believe she still has guilt eating at her after 4 decades or so. If the law stands she can use it as an excuse, an excuse that she didn't commit murder. If it falls she can still fall back on it was legal at the time but she may have to recognize that is was a bad law and murder was committed.

______________

Well state courts decide disputed issues of state laws, so yes. But it's still the province of the states, not the federal government.

Despite the silly word games used by the majority justices in Roe (seeing imaginary emanations and penumbras) the fact remains that there is no federal constitutional right to abortion and never has been. The right that was enshrined in Roe was a completely fabricated "right," pulled out of the majority justices' asses.

Induced abortion prior to 32 weeks gestation may also increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer, especially if she has a positive family history of breast cancer or has an induced abortion during her adolescent years. This is because induced abortion interrupts the normal development and maturation of the breast cells that occurs during pregnancy, leaving the cells at much higher risk for malignant changes.

Anecdotally, I have seen this. Some people laid out after the first series, but lots more people laid out and missing work after the boosters. Our active workforce declined dramatically in the three weeks prior to Thanksgiving in the Autumn. A ton of people went to get their boosters ahead of the holiday with family and missed work (average of two days after the booster) because they were sick afterward. Our worst week we had around a quarter of the workforce out sick.

Most times, just like sex, the abortion decision is a two to tango one...and one just happens to have some mitigating factors like hormonal and health changes going on...the other party doesn't...

440 It's astounding. Suburban women tend to be middle class or affluent (sort of by definition) and have children. Their psychosis is astonishing.

Or maybe just use birth control to avoid pregnancy. It's cheap and widely available.

Leftists used to say that they wanted abortion to be "safe and rare." That was an obvious lie, because if they wanted abortion to be rare, they would not have made it free. Too many women use abortion now as an after-the-fact form of birth control, just because they can. It's easy and free, so why not?

If abortion always had a fee attached, even a low fee, like say $50, and that fee was unwaivable and had to be paid by the woman, you'd see a lot fewer abortions. People respond to incentives. It's cheaper to pop the pill or wear the patch or insert the diaphragm or tell the guy to put on a condom than it is to pay for the abortion.

There are damn few leaders. You see this all the time in government, too. There are loads of governors who are timid and cowardly, but will line up and do the right thing if they have someone to follow. This happens on both sides of the political system, too.

On the left, you have men like Colorado's governor Polis, who is a weak, timid and foolish man who will happily follow the lead set down by Newsom and to a lesser degree Pritzker. On the right, you have men like Tennessee's governor Lee or Texas' Abbot, who will walk the path laid down by DeSantis. Men like that will not act on their own either way against the status quo as it is at this moment in time. But if they have an example to follow, they will. I don't imagine CEOs are any different.

I think the prime motivation is the latter. The Media members are herd animals. Klain needs to temporarily stop the herd's slow shift from defending Biden to reporting evenly or attacking Joe.

And indicates a deep and incurable mental disease. These people are beyond reasonable cognition. They must be dealt with in a suitable manner, as was done in the second world war. Inevitable, as THEY WILL NOT STOP.

It has always been Lebensunwertes Leben vs Imago Dei. ("life unworthy of life" / "image of God")

There is no in-between position. Humans are either chattel and garbage or they are special Creations of the Almighty. When pushed, the view of human life will always fall to one or the other camp.

It does.

F'rinstance, some people are born with a berry aneurysm in the Circle of Willis. Not super uncommon.

It's not a question of whether you will or won't have a stroke and die, at some point you will, it's just a matter of when.

516 Also I don't believe the majority is real. This court didn't even have the marbles necessary to *look* at a stolen election case. No way they are doing something this monumental. When you look back it will be so obvious it was a lie that many still won't even recognize it was a lie.

Wade would be like to get their base of Karens screaming in the streets about coat hangers and Muh Body. (Even the way this is being framed by the media now is a lie - it's just Alito's draft opinion, not the final decision).

Most likely because it's not real. The Left needed a Narrative shift and they got it. The Narrative is the only thing that matters.

When it doesn't come to pass in June they will have had their "close shave".

In an alternate world with no leak, the SC doesn't overturn Roe and there's no outrage machine. No narrative shift. No way to convince everyone how "close" it was.

522 And if they switch votes, not only will they face the ire of the other side, but they will face ceaseless questions about their integrity and courage.

Again. This sort of fecklessness makes it really hard to take this cabal of black robed tyrants seriously. We would have a more clearer vision if we used a Magic 8 Ball.

Seriously, how rare is it that a case comes before the court and the vast majority of people know what the outcome will be based on the issue's Constitutionality or obvious benefit to human flourishing?

Every single one is a crap shoot. That is not how a serious country with values, ethics and common charter operates.

Well, almost any Indian immigrant who's a professional comes from the Our Betters of India. Rich families.

And Our Betters wherever they come from tend to hold the same/similar beliefs for you.

In India, this tendency is magnified cuz of the caste system. And that gets carried over here.

Yes. They get six months of hair on fire put of it even if it doesn't get overturned.

It also doesn't make sense to me that Roberts wouldn't be the one writing the opinion if it was the majority one. He gets nothing from being on the losing side on this one.

Except the other five would have to agree with his opinion, or else they write their own five justice concurrence that becomes the majority opinion and Roberts' becomes a concurrence.

If Roberts wants to write the majority opinion and five justices agree with one line of thought, he either agrees with them or gets them to change their views to his.

What if it's literally as simple as the plants are now being run by newbies that aren't fully trained, and are doing stupid shit that newbies do?

These plants are, and have always been, pretty high fire-hazard for a number of reasons. It doesn't take much in the way of worker stupidity to torch one of these plants off. Especially grain-based plants.

556 296 In 2019, women in their 20s accounted for more than half of abortions (56.9%). Women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years accounted for the highest percentages of abortions (27.6% and 29.3%, respectively) and had the highest abortion rates (19.0 and 18.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20–24 and 25–29 years, respectively).

How many of those seeking abortions were pregnant men? Why do these figures discriminate against the true women that men are?
