They want to ban interracial marriage. Do you want to save that?” he wrote. “Well, then you should probably vote.”Yes, I'm sure Clarence Thomas will be writing the majority opinion on that one, Eric. Truth is, this is not a matter for levity. Despite the fact that I do not think that this is going to save them come November, I think that what they really want is a repeat of the 2020 Summer of Love. Tough Love, where cities were burned to the ground at the behest and cheering of the Democrat Left, all as a means to gain power and instill fear in those who are not "down for the struggle," i.e. the absolute overthrow of America as founded. For sure, the leak of the decision was meant to exhort the Democrat base but it was also meant to intimidate Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett with a threat of physical violence on themselves and their families, and the threat of civil unrest. IIRC, and I'm too lazy to look it up now this close to post time, Justice Alito alluded to that latter point in his decision. Bravo for him. I will state this for the record: The Democrat Party, its supporters and allies in and outside of government pose an existential threat to what is still the majority of people in this country. They have proven to be willing to stop at nothing to attain absolute power and completely destroy anyone who stands in their way. I don't need to list the litany of things that they have done since the Obama years and especially the Trump era. As CBD, Michael Walsh and I have stated unequivocally on the latest Cut Jib Newsletter Speaks! podcast, this attempted institution of an American "Ministry of Truth" to regulate speech and determine what is and what is not the truth is the absolute hill to die on. They're on the run for sure, but there is nothing more dangerous than a cornered, rabid animal. And it is bearing its fangs at us right now. There can be no parlaying with this. There can be no regular order or civil discourse. Not that we reject it but because they do. They do not view us as "the loyal opposition." They view us as an evil that is to be eradicated in order for them to achieve the paradise on earth that we are depriving them of. I do not advocate violence and I abhor it. But there is a blowtorch being pointed at us and I don't think it can be avoided. Listen to their words and then look at their deeds, not just over the past few years but over decades and centuries now. QED. The End of America: 100 Days That Shook the World available here.

1) I hope that Roe really does get overturned. Whatever your position on abortion, it was a terribly reasoned and written decision; the Federal Government never had any business interjecting itself in the first place.
2) I do love how quickly the Left jumps to the "slippery slope" without any trace of self-awareness nor irony. Certainly, they have plenty of evidence to support the general idea that the slippery slope is not so much a logical fallacy and more of a "spoiler alert" - they provided it. However, the idea that anyone would "come after" interracial marriage, or *voting rights* or any of those things is... unhinged. Posted by: AllenG #Texit at May 04, 2022 07:44 AM (sRpmI) 18

Otherwise a woman can go to another state, and if people are so worried that poor women can't afford this then why not provide private funding.

Come to think of it, Joe confirmed the SCOTUS' actions with that statement, didn't he?
Yep. The entire argument for elective abortion has ALWAYS been predicated on the idea that what is growing in the woman's womb is *not* a human baby. Because, if it *is* a human baby, then your "choice" is murder (well, at least: homicide, there are instances where it *might* be justified). And his stupid statement that world religions have never been able to decide when life began... 1) what does that have to do with it? Separation of Church and State is their big thing, right? Second - he's lying, basically all world religions have understood that what is growing in his/her mother's womb is a LIVING human child. Third, science has settled the question quite well even if religion hasn't: it moves, grows, respires, and reproduces therefore it is alive. It has its own genetic code (to the point that sometimes its mother's body attempts to reject it and kill it) meaning it is *not* the mother's body anyway. Ergo- unique human life from the moment of conception. Posted by: AllenG #Texit at May 04, 2022 07:54 AM (sRpmI) Posted by: McCool at May 04, 2022 07:54 AM (BqBIh) 59

"A reported draft decision from the Supreme Court outlawing reproductive freedoms is devastating - for women, for our country, for us all."
* I'll say it again. Democrats in the highest levels of our government are outright Moloch worshippers. I didn't think that ten years ago, but looking at the art on their walls and the altars on Epstein island, I'm certain they are. It's the only thing that explains their absolute, 100% devotion to abortion. Local folks have been fooled into "reproductive rights" nonsense or some other bullsh*t, but when they vote for the big time leaders they're engaging in it unknowingly, too. Abortion is too important to them for it to not have some sort of deep and meaningful sacrificial significance.

+++++ That would be an extremely unusual move, and extremely high risk. They might be planning or hoping for this, but I sort of doubt it. They turn on the riot machinery during presidential elections when voter turnout is much higher and when their core demographics are more inclined to go the polls. Playing that card during a midterm would be a significant departure. They're desperate enough to try it, but there are also risks. Voter turnout was extremely high on *both* sides in 2020, and the Summer of Love was a factor in that. If you want to rack up even more vote for Republicans, constant state-sanctioned rioting is a decent way to do that. If it doesn't also move more of their own people - and with the disaster of the last couple of years, it probably won't - it ends up being an own-goal.

Bret Stephens, the NY Times token "conservatives" has written 'The Conservative Case for Saving Roe.' Stephens is the same "conservative" who argued for repealing the 2nd Amendment a few years back.
The TLDR version is: Roe is precedent, and true conservatism conserves judicial precedent. (So he would never have overturned Plessy v. Fergusion, I guess). Also, there would be unintended consequences from repealing it. And it would make liberals mad (which seems to be the main point). https://is.gd/09aF8a Posted by: Victor Tango Kilo at May 04, 2022 07:59 AM (OeBYn) 84

Amazon has become problematic for me, too.

NY Post has a picture of a grimacing woman outside the Supreme Court, and in the background someone holding a blue sign which looks preprinted saying "Catholics for abortion access." Yep; The person holding the sign just had a psychic premonition sometime yesterday and had s sign just in case which she brought her sign to the Supreme Court.

I'm not so sure about that. The idea of protecting abortion has been losing electoral ground for a while now. So you'll get some states - TX, OK, FL all jump to mind, that will probably ban it outright except in cases of medical necessity. Then you'll get a bunch of states that adopt some of these extremely short timeframes (6 weeks). Sure, California will still let you "abort" until the kid is 6 years old, and New York will still let you stab them as they're exiting the birth canal, but I think you'll find access much more limited. Otherwise, they wouldn't care about it being overturned in the Supreme Court - if the electoral will were there to actively vote in favor of abortion, they wouldn't need (or want - for the reason we're seeing this week) a SCOTUS decision.

It is Obama that we should refer to and focus on re: the real insurrection since November 3.
See little point in speculating about who Obama's influencers and handlers may be ....They, whomever they are, have little name power nor political power. It is Obama who is able to spark the arsonist crowds and draw the dark, dark money that funds the ongoing insurrection. Obama has been in charge and fomenting insurrection , except for a brief respite , since 2008 and most certainly Obama is in charge Today as we waste precious resources talking about Biden.

Bret Stephens, the NY Times token "conservatives" has written 'The Conservative Case for Saving Roe.' Stephens is the same "conservative" who argued for repealing the 2nd Amendment a few years back.
The TLDR version is: Roe is precedent, and true conservatism conserves judicial precedent. (So he would never have overturned Plessy v. Fergusion, I guess). Also, there would be unintended consequences from repealing it. And it would make liberals mad (which seems to be the main point). https://is.gd/09aF8a Posted by: Victor Tango Kilo at May 04, 2022 07:59 AM (OeBYn) This tactic of attempting to leverage your principals against you in sophistry is such bullshit and needs to be pointed out and mocked relentlessly.

First, they have pushed too far and harmed their own cause. In less than 25 years, we've gone from "safe, legal and rare" to "it's legal to murder toddlers." That has moved a lot of people from "abortion ambivalent" to the camp that there ought to be at least some kind of restrictions - and that's a slippery slope, too. Second, a whole lot of extremely bad case law and astonishingly bad rulings are based on Roe as precedent. If Roe is overturned, then a bunch of stuff is suddenly open to reinterpretation - assuming the judiciary has any legitimacy, of course.

I hold that there will be no major riots this summer, nothing at all like 2019. I believe most people, even on our side, still do not understand what happened that summer - that is the key to understanding whether I not it will happen again.
I hold that the George Floyd Campaign and the Antifa violence (including Kenosha) were NOT any kind of "spontaneous violence" but rather were choreographed performances organized by the wealthy Left (ie, Soros and the oligarchs) in concert with the Clinton and Obama organizations. The purpose was not simply to create fear in the population; it was also an attempt to goad Trump into doing something for which he could be discredited (I believe they wanted him to order troops to respond); failing that at a bare minimum it was intended to show that he had Lost Control of the nation. (amazingly they failed in their true goals) The reason it will not be repeated is because the financers and organizers know that the true purpose of these things is *always* to discredit and destabilize the current Administration. They may hate Republicans, but politically, any riots will show Biden and Kamala have lost control. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 04, 2022 08:08 AM (r46W7) 116
let me just say, for a long time I have thought that radical feminists believe that all men are potential rapists who will force women to have babies and become dependent on the men to survive.

Why the Republican party needs to leave Trump, and those who think like him.
Trumps brand of Conservative(ish) Populism terrifies the Republican party - because the Republican party was once the Conservative(ish) Populist party. The Whigs got thrown over because they had become the party of compromise and "that's not who we are!" The Republicans were still willing to fight (like- actually fight. They started a war and everything). Now the Republicans have to realize they're staring down the same fate, but the idea of actually fighting is far too terrifying to people so secure in their ivory towers. But can you imagine if Trump and Musk were to get together and start funneling money and assistance to politicians to run on the platform of "Return to the Constitution, put America first, and then leave me the Hell alone?" - which would be right up both their allies, I'm sure. One or two election cycles is all it would take for the Republicans to be another footnote in history. Posted by: AllenG #Texit at May 04, 2022 08:10 AM (sRpmI) 118

Ironically, Alito's outcome won't limit a woman's access to abortion that much. Most states will allow it, some with tighter time limits. Otherwise a woman can go to another state...
I'm not so sure about that. The idea of protecting abortion has been losing electoral ground for a while now. So you'll get some states - TX, OK, FL all jump to mind, that will probably ban it outright except in cases of medical necessity. Then you'll get a bunch of states that adopt some of these extremely short timeframes (6 weeks). Sure, California will still let you "abort" until the kid is 6 years old, and New York will still let you stab them as they're exiting the birth canal, but I think you'll find access much more limited. Otherwise, they wouldn't care about it being overturned in the Supreme Court - if the electoral will were there to actively vote in favor of abortion, they wouldn't need (or want - for the reason we're seeing this week) a SCOTUS decision.

The NGOs will be running buses and charter flights to "help."
I think their bigger concern is twofold. First, they have pushed too far and harmed their own cause. In less than 25 years, we've gone from "safe, legal and rare" to "it's legal to murder toddlers." That has moved a lot of people from "abortion ambivalent" to the camp that there ought to be at least some kind of restrictions - and that's a slippery slope, too. Second, a whole lot of extremely bad case law and astonishingly bad rulings are based on Roe as precedent. If Roe is overturned, then a bunch of stuff is suddenly open to reinterpretation - assuming the judiciary has any legitimacy, of course.

And because of how the schools now address identity politics in kindergarten, that timeframe is even longer before they have their own "identity."

I think noted "bioethicist" Peter Singer (*spit*) suggested that children don't have a fully formed identity until they are 4 years old or so. Before then, they are not really a "person."
Yeah, that was a growing craze when the SCOAMT was in office. I think it was Sweden that had some high muckity muck doctor say something similar. That, at least, the vast majority even of Progressives rejected and recoiled in horror, since they know that logic would lead to adults being killed by society (first the elderly who "no longer contribute", then the younger adults who "are a burden on society."). Pretty sure that got a big "Nope." Of course, back then, so did pedophilia (woodchipper go brrrrr), and we see what's happened there. Posted by: AllenG #Texit at May 04, 2022 08:37 AM (sRpmI) 232

142 We can now see that Roberts' cowardice of the mob is what made him refuse to allow the hearing of the Texas 2020 election case. That decision, more than any other, made the supreme court irrelevant. It is their sole duty to adjudicate disputes between the states, and they abdicated. Nothing they say or do will remove that stain, until that injustice is addressed.
This is what happens when you allow an election to be stolen. Posted by: Thomas Paine at May 04, 2022 08:15 AM (5kI0z) I agree, and to be more specific - I believe that the 5 conservatives on the Court didn't rebel in 2020 because they sensed that they did not have the institutional support to push the case and win; going out on a thin limb and appearing to influence a national election was a bridge too far for them. BUT it appears that the resentment of Roberts lingered and grew, until now when they finally feel that they have the strength to rebel and destroy his power as nominal Chief Justice. Roberts may linger on the Court quite a while more, but his power and influence is broken. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 04, 2022 08:41 AM (r46W7) 252

A woman on Twitter was being dragged for talking about how pregnant women in concentration camps were selected for "special experiments", and a doctor had done abortions for hundreds of women on their way in to avoid that. Therefore, according to this person, the doctor had saved hundreds of Jewish lives. I'm not sure how you square that circle. Posted by: Ian S. at May 04, 2022 08:53 AM (1TuZk) 309

The idea of a "direct proof" is that you start with a statement you want to prove. Then take an axiom that is assumed to be true and apply various propositions to it that are known to be universally true, until you get to the original Statement Which Was To Be Demonstrated. Once you have replicated that statement verbatim by sound logical operations, you get to say QED, and the statement is proven.

Yes but. Good detective work, but I think its probably a bit strong to say that her husband is "best friends" with Josh Gerstein - they shared a byline on a story some years ago, and the thread says they have interacted on Twitter within the past year. Is that best friends? Well, okay.
I am on the "it's not a leak its an op" train.

For good measure, the Biden administration proposed a $10 billion federal fund available for the next decade to replicate and expand the cash injections to election offices like those seen in 2020. Another $5 billion is requested for the U.S. Postal Service so it can expand its role in voting-by-mail. Even if the administration gets a fraction of that request, it will make the $500 million spent in 2020 from private groups to increase urban turnout look like small potatoes.

If you could wanted to reconstruct voting I think the following would probably produce a very stable society.
Combat Duty military can vote. No one else working for the government can vote for the level they are in (eg an FBI agent can vote for governor but not president/senator/federal rep) Men get to vote if they are married and not on government assistance. Women get to vote if they are married, have at least one child (or have had a child that passed) and are not on government assistance. Immigrants can't vote, citizen or not. The children of legal immigrant citizens can. Posted by: Obligatory at May 04, 2022 09:14 AM (ESjRY) Posted by: Ziba at May 04, 2022 09:14 AM (S1hrL) 398

I have a very hard time believing that the people who burned and looted cities over George Floyd, Michael Brown, Rodney King, et al, are going to get equally worked up over white women having to travel a couple hundred miles to get abortions. I doubt they'd even get that worked up over their own girfriends not being able to get abortions. What I could see happening, however, is Antifa or some group like them targeting pro life pregnancy centers and attacking people who pray outside abortion clinics as "payback“ for all the abortionists and abortuaries that were, allegedly, shot, firebomed, etc. over the years.

Alito's response to the argument that SCOTUS should not overturn a "watershed" decision such as Roe v. Wade because that would be perceived by the public as a decision having been made "under fire" and as a "surrender to political pressure" [presumably pressure from crazed right-wing white supremacist Trump voters]:
"The Casey plurality was certainly right that it is important for the public to perceive that our decisions are based on principle, and we should make every effort to achieve that objective by issuing opinions that carefully show how a proper understanding of the law leads to the results we reach. But we cannot exceed the scope of our authority under the Constitution, and we cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as concern about the public's reaction to our work."

Our local "news" this morning reported on the abortion ruling controversy, of course interviewing 90% women who are for abortion and thus showing their bias. They mentioned that Loozyana, like "other states," has a "trigger" set up to close down abortions automatically if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Have we heard that some states have done this?
They showed a "scare" map of all the states that would completely restrict abortion (again, their term); it looked like there were about 18-20 in the lower 48. They added that, if that happens, IL would be the closest state to Loozyana where a woman could go for her abortion. That's just a quick plane flight away, but you'd have thought it was the far side of the moon. This ain't 1968, when you had to travel to NY State for an abortion and plane tickets were expensive relative to income. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at May 04, 2022 09:26 AM (txdEq) 444

Me: France bans abortions after 14 weeks, which is less than the Mississippi law that initiated this court case. Her: Keep your laws off my body!

Also trying to make it sound like a complete ban, ignoring it will still be legal still in e.g. NYS, CA, IL, and MI.
_______________ It'll still be legal at all stages of the pregnancy up until birth (and probably a little after birth, knowing these people) in those states. But it'll also still be legal in many other states, they just won't allow the later-term abortions. For example, in deep-red Mississippi, the law that was challenged in Dobbs allows women to get abortions up to the 15 week point. They are allowed after that point only for things like medical emergencies and severe fetal abnormalities. So if some purple-haired lefty who lives in Mississippi gets knocked up and wants to get rid of the baby, she still has almost four months to put on her p*ssy hat and trek to the nearest Birmingham PP clinic to get the deed done. No need to go to all the way to Canada. Posted by: TrivialPursuer--FJB at May 04, 2022 09:41 AM (k4dH2) 501

The Christian Adam's article was linked at Powerline yesterday. I thought it was a bit more fear mongering for fundraising than likely prophetic. Dave's right, in my estimation, re FL (and likely others). Otoh, there should have been federal action on this during Ryan's speakership, as many of us demanded. They've been stealing smaller prizes (Oregon, Washington, Minnesota) for a long time, and grabbed the brass ring in 2020. But then, Ryan was on their side, wasn't he?

"First, the draft was from February so things might have changed in a subsequent draft, although if they had changed I would have thought that the latest draft would have been the one to leak."
Depends on the motives of the leaker. Suppose the motive was to jump start a movement to pack the Supremes prior to the midterms in which the Democrats might lose both houses of Congress? And suppose that the latest draft doesn't overrule Roe and Casey? Well, then for sure you would leak the draft that overturned those cases. Posted by: Ankylus at May 04, 2022 10:52 AM (NqFTd) 510

One of the reforms Christianity brought to western civilization was the ending of the acceptance of pedophilia in public life. Under Roman law, children were property until 15 (I think). And could be treated as such Its no coincidence that as Christianity is driven into retreat, and sexual depravity marches forward, pedophilia is making a comeback as well.

"New Leftist Talking Point: It Won’t Stop With Abortion; the Right Is Going to Take All Our Toys Away"
To be entirely fair, there's at least one state that is trying to restrict the right of free travel in order to enforce it's abortion bans, so this argument isn't entirely without merit. I call on you all to stand against this clear overreach of state power. The states can not restrict the right of people to travel from state to state. Gambling is illegal where I live, should my state arrest me for gambling upon my return from a trip to Vegas? No, of course not, that's stupid and obviously unconstitutional. If you don't want them clutching pearls over the right taking more rights, then stand against the right taking more rights. Restricting interstate travel is a bridge too far.
