The Morning Report — 6/28/23

robertsgoodfellas.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, with supposedly conservative/originalist justices like these who needs court-packing?

“In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that limited state courts’ ability to wrest control of elections law from state legislatures in a North Carolina redistricting case. The ruling does not, however, entirely stymie activist attempts to use courts to override elected legislators’ decisions about election law.

In Tuesday’s Moore v. Harper decision, SCOTUS held that the U.S. Constitution’s elections clause “does not vest exclusive and independent authority in state legislatures to set the rules regarding federal elections.” But it also failed to defend state legislatures’ constitutional right to control elections law, including redistricting, as shielded from court review.

For the first time, the Supreme Court has ruled definitively that there is a limit to the power of state courts to interpret election law,” said Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, in a statement. “Today’s ruling keeps alive the left-wing drive to abuse the courts for partisan gain, but it is no blank check for judges to embrace Marc Elias’ fringe and novel legal theories in order to skew the rules of democracy in favor of the Left.”

Mark Levin, both affectionately and derisively referred to around these parts as "Old Yeller" went off with much deserved sound and fury:

“[Republican Justices] Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett are truly pathetic.”

”[T]he Supreme Court just ruled that those who wrote the Constitution, adopted it, and ratified it really didn’t mean for final authority to rest with the state legislatures,” Levin explained. “They [supposedly] intended absolutely nothing by that language.  The lawlessness continues, and the Court has opened even further the interference in our elections by activist bureaucrats and courts, and the controversy that will continue to ensue, for as long as this unraveling republic exists.”

With the 2024 election being such a crucial election, as Democrat-created crime, border, and economic crises plague America, this was a terrible decision from the Supreme Court.

. . . “So, now the Framers’ and ratifiers’ clear language in the Constitution about state legislatures (not state governors or state courts) having the final say on electoral matters is the interpretation of right-wing kooks,” he asked sarcastically. Only Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito dissented from the majority opinion. So much for the “conservative” Supreme Court. . .

. . . Leftists now know that they can manipulate some of the Supreme Court “conservative” justices by flattering them, Levin warned. “Moreover, notice how the three leftist Democrats on the Court never break when it comes to major decisions important to the Democrats, regardless of the Constitution’s text and the framers’ intent,” he added.

Democrats never betray their principles (such as they are), but Republicans seem to do so frequently. And that’s how elections are lost before they even happen.

Well, if you still refuse to believe that elections can be rigged, here's one way in which you can plainly see how they are "fortified." And I don't mean with 12 essential vitamins and minerals, either. As for the SCOTUS, this is just yet another in a nearly endless number of examples of why this notion of "a living and breathing Constitution" and the need for "balance" on the court is totally dead wrong. Leftists argue, mostly disingenuously I might add, that times change and the Constitution must change with the vicissitudes of technology, culture and so on. Except that the one thing that never changes is human nature, which is what that brilliant document was designed to defend against. Specifically, the will to power. The only people who should be on that court, and every damn court in the land when you get right down to it, are those who uphold that document to the letter.

Unfortunately we have far too many who do not. Worse, we have a vast swathe of our society who do not deserve to be in this country. And not just the illegal aliens either because the attitude and mindset of these people is completely contrary to what John Adams perhaps presciently warned:

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

All you have to do is (figuratively) look at naked men parading around in front of children, worse still the parents who eagerly take their children to see them, all the way up to the spurious leader of this collapsing nation and his son selling us out to the highest bidder, and you have some idea as to why we are in the predicament we're in. Vladdy Lenin himself said:

Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

Well, he and his ilk in this nation have had about 60. Meh, why the hell am I getting all worked up about this? After what happened in 2020 and then again to a lesser but not less damaging extent in the 2022 midterms (and I'm not buying that the abortion issue was the sole or even main reason for that dead ORCA), do I really think that the outcome of 2024 is going to be different? And then on top of this decision, you have crap like this to contend with:

“Trump has a knack for subtracting [voters],” the former South Carolina congressman asserted, despite the fact that his former boss added at least 10.1 million voters in 2020, landing the highest number of votes of any sitting president ever. In fact, Trump added 18 percent in Georgia alone, where [Mick] Mulvaney – a former Tex Mex restaurant manager – claims he lost voters due to issues like “his flogging of McCain’s corpse”.

. . . “That is Trump subtraction,” Mulvaney suggested – though in fact, Trump won 1.2 million votes in Arizona in 2016 and almost 1.7 million in 2020. Similarly, Mulvaney suggested, “Trump beat Hillary Clinton by more than 200,000 votes in Georgia in 2016 [and] lost by the now infamous 11,779 votes [in 2020]…. Subtraction.” Here, too, Trump won near 2.1 million votes in 2016 and near 2.5 million votes in 2020 – almost 400,000 additional votes, rather than a “subtraction” of voters.

Trump has long contended the true cause of his defeat in the Peach State was poor election integrity. Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger have refused to address major, documented issues with Georgia’s voting processes, with Raffensperger’s spokesman recently going as far as telling PhD scientists who raised concerns “tough noogies”.

Mick Mulvaney is the Dylan Mulvaney of Chris Christies. Yet another worthless backstabbing son of a bitch. The overflowing toilet in Atlanta that shut down the vote counting in six states after election observers were kicked out and the ballots trucked in might also have played a part in the loss, Mick. Pfft.

But if I'm to be honest with myself, you cannot ignore some of Trump's to say the least questionable moves where he stabs himself in the back, like supporting Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel to be head of the RNC. I've also warned against him running primarily on revenge for 2020, yet here you have a woman who at best is incompetent and at worst is a Deep State stooge who's there to sabotage our efforts.

So, is it really worth it to get all wee-wee'd up about this SCOTUS decision? It's funny; Levin wrote a book called The Liberty Amendments in which he called for amendments to the Constitution via the Article V process that would, in his view, restore and revert the balance of power and the supremacy of that power back down to the individual states. One of them was instituting term limits for Supreme Court justices (maybe even all federal judges?).

It's a great idea in theory. What it, and he, failed to recognize, ironically enough since Levin is a remarkable Constitutional scholar, is Adams' own words and warning about "a moral and religious people." It is evident that even in the reddest of red state legislatures that we are sorely lacking in that regard, perhaps fatally so. But I digress. With some recent good decisions coming out of that court, most notably Dobbs, all of a sudden you have hardcore Leftists screaming not just about packing the court but instituting term limits on justices. You have to wonder about Old Yeller's reaction to that. Naturally, they're in favor of it because at a certain point, they will wield absolute power via tainted elections to appoint Ruth Bader-Meinhoffs from now until the end of time.

Funny how the media was all crowing about how a judge in Delaware that was adjudicating one of the prosecutions/persecutions against Trump was one of his own appointees! Of course, they omit the salient point that the pool of nominees that he had to choose from was all solid Democrat-Leftists. And, that leads to the other problem, which Psaki-psircles back to Lenin's quote. Look what kind of graduates the law schools are pumping out:

After hundreds of students at Stanford Law School shouted down a sitting federal judge in March, school administrators went into damage-control mode. Among the measures they promised to promote a more open academic climate was a mandatory half-day training session on "freedom of speech and the norms of the legal profession."

Many hailed the move as a sign that Stanford was turning over a new leaf and lavished praise on Jenny Martinez, the law school's dean, for her perceived defiance of the campus mob.

But the promised training wasn't much of a crash course in free speech. Instead, it was an online program that required barely a minute's effort, according to five people who completed the training as well as screenshots and recordings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Students were given six weeks to watch five prerecorded videos, most about an hour long, then asked to sign a form attesting that they had done so.

The videos could be played on mute, and the form—which could be accessed without opening the training—did not ask any questions about their content, letting students tune out the modules or skip them entirely. . .

. . . The training followed a widely reported incident in which students shouted down Judge Kyle Duncan of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals with help from Stanford diversity dean Tirien Steinbach. The episode, which was captured on video, touched off weeks of crisis management at the elite law school: Duncan received a formal apology, Steinbach was placed on leave, and the law school announced a series of steps it was taking to avoid a similar debacle in the future.

And lest we forget this budding jurist, all set to hold up truth, justice and the American way:

The CUNY Law School graduate behind May’s fiery commencement address made clear she wouldn’t change a word of her widely condemned remarks that took aim at Israel — and said she was shocked by the immense backlash that followed.

In her first public comments since the firestorm erupted after her May 12 speech, Fatima Mohammed told Jewish Currents she has no regrets after accusing Israel of indiscriminately murdering Palestinians and calling the NYPD “fascists.”

Her speech garnered condemnation from elected officials, including NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and even earned a rebuke by the school’s leaders and board of trustees, which called the address “hate speech.”

“I would not change a single word of my speech — and I would say it louder,” she declared Tuesday. . .

. . .Among her fiery remarks to fellow grads, Mohammed accused Israel of encouraging “lynch mobs” and carrying out violence against Palestinians.

“Israel continues to indiscriminately rain bullets and bombs on worshipers, murdering the old, the young, attacking even funerals and graveyards… our silence is no longer acceptable,” she said.

Mohammed additionally slammed CUNY for continuing “to train and cooperate with the fascist NYPD, the military” during her speech, and called for a “revolution” against the legal system’s “white supremacy.”

Meh. Give her a break. She probably had her joy-buzzer clipped with a rusty hacksaw so she doesn't really know what a woman is. That qualifies her to sit right next to Kentanji Brown Twenty-Five.

Which is too bad. I had some hopes for him. He's an ultra-bureaucrat and he understands the bureaucracy and his ambition to remake the federal agencies was admirable and the plan he laid out made sense.

It's become clear to me that a Constitutional Convention or calls for new amendments or whatnot are whistling past the graveyard. It doesn't matter what is in the law if the law isn't followed. The Constitution can be great or it can be trash and it will have the same outcome if everyone ignores it anyway.

Nobody thinks that a new constitutional convention or new amendments could turn around Liberia. Why not? Their constitution is the same as ours. That country was founded with a carbon copy of our own government structure. It didn't help them one bit because it was never followed. Changing the charter is irrelevant when the charter has no influence anyway.

44 Most of the polls show Trump leading all others in the primary by over 30 points.
Jerb Bush, sitting on a $100 million warchest, holding every major endorsement and the advantages of name recognition sat barely 10 points ahead of his rivals--before the Trump announcement. 30 days later, he was in 2nd to 3rd.
Where is the similar surge for Ron?

There is no rational for him to run. Unless you think Trump will something something and the seas part for Ron!

But seriously, he's the Friendzone Candidate. Not good enough to be the main guy, but he keeps showing up at her parties, always hanging around, finding excuses to walk by her; the class vice president who answers phones at his dad's accounting office for summer work and drives a Honda Civic.
"Oh, she'll see he's no good for her soon, I'm sure of it! And then she can't help but see I'm perfect for her--she'll ask me out. Then it's Ron's turn!"

Now you know why FOX News had to jettison Tucker, the FUSA is now calling tyrannical dictatorship "democracy" and using that as a model for the rest of the world.

Conveniently tucked into that lawless order to end elections is a provision that has no definition. No real difference than a politician claiming at martial law will be lifted after the "emergency" when there is no definition of what is an emergency.

"If Men were angels, no government would be necessary."

The necessary exercise of power depends on how moral a people are. It's why rural counties can get away with hardly any police force. A very evil and vicious population needs a despot, a population where people live justly is practically self-governing.

68 It's become clear to me that a Constitutional Convention or calls for new amendments or whatnot are whistling past the graveyard. It doesn't matter what is in the law if the law isn't followed. The Constitution can be great or it can be trash and it will have the same outcome if everyone ignores it anyway.

Nobody thinks that a new constitutional convention or new amendments could turn around Liberia. Why not? Their constitution is the same as ours. That country was founded with a carbon copy of our own government structure. It didn't help them one bit because it was never followed. Changing the charter is irrelevant when the charter has no influence anyway.

69 As I heard it explained, the thinking behind saying that state courts have a role to play in deciding state election laws is simply so that the SCOTUS isn't inundated with election cases and can now simply deny cert to any case they deem beneath them or too controversial.

Also, SCOTUS is still obsessed with race and the sooner they fix that glitch the closer we will get to fulfilling Martin Luther Kings dream.

74 Good point. If state legislatures wanted to select Electors via Jell-O wrestling outdoors in January, then there's nothing SCOTUS can do about it.

They came pretty close through a process called National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which was a scam to replace the Electoral System with an ersatz popular vote scheme.

The participating states like Colorado, California, Illinois and other communist states (about 205 EVs) will have other the result of the national popular vote decide who will be each state's electors rather than the people of each state voting for their own elector.

So when a handful of states fraudulently adds a few million votes for the Communist, a participating swing state that might have gone red will go blue regardless of the will of the people of that state.

This is in effect disenfranchising everyone in the state from voting and turns ballot harvesters in other states into king makers.

But that sort of hacking of the electors system is OK with this fucked up court.

76 Here you go:

The recording, from a July 2021 interview Trump gave at his Bedminster, N.J., resort for people working on the memoir of his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is a critical piece of evidence in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over the mishandling of classified information.

77 The state legislatures are going to have to refuse the courts soon.
Because, now every map in every state will be endlessly litigated until only Democrats win.
They should actually refuse to even file an answer to the next federal lawsuit.
Just issue a public statement, "the federal court has no jurisdiction on this issue regardless of what they have falsely claimed for themselves. We do not have any requirement to cede our Constitutional powers to them. We will not recognize any ruling they make in this matter."
The federal government is powerless to force a state to act ...

It's either that or the far-left, radical judges will draw every map in every red state. (Naturally, every Republican challenge will be dismissed before the ink is dry on the filing.)

102 “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”


Americans do nothing because they value themselves and their trappings far more than amorphous concepts of liberty.

This isn't just weakness, per se, it's a calculated gamble. Most Republicans (not that they are alone in this) of influence are wagering that they can make it to death in relative comfort before the darkness of tyranny completely closes in around them, or that perhaps their relative financial advantages will immunize them from facing the full brunt of it.

This is why Christianity is truth and Republicanism is a milquetoast substitute.

Christianity says man has no greater love than to lay down his life for another. Republicanism, in its practice, is the laying down of principals in service of one's political viability.

The exact cause of SD is unknown, but it is thought to be related to abnormalities in the basal ganglia, a region of the brain that helps control movement. SD is a rare condition, affecting fewer than 1% of people with voice disorders.

Larry David sure was surprised that one of his pre-ACW American, Jewish ancestors had two house slaves. He was a professional [doctor?] in a big southern city [like Charlotte, although I can't recall which exactly] that had a large Jewish population.

[Nothing against David -- he was never a p.c. Dem as shown by e.g. the AIDS ribbon show, and mocking Green crap especially after his divorce.]

I don't recall there be that much "massive concentrations of wealth" in the former Soviet Union - outside the corrupt Party Members.

142 If you want to restore Constitutional order, the federal government must be severely weakened.

Their power comes from their perceived legitimacy.

There is one and only one way to weaken their legitimacy.

Trump is the final destruction of that. All the abuse, illegality, deception and lies they have spun up will pale to what they will deploy should he be the candidate.
They will destroy every last scrap of legitimacy to stop him from wining. They will not allow him on the ballot in some states, refuse to count votes for him in some, disqualify him post-election in others.
The media will not allow his ads, refuse to let him or any who support him speak.
States will ban his rallies, outlaw his signs, arrest his canvassesers.

Because this is about who gets to decide who runs this country-- the voters or the rulers.

>>What would we have said if Hillary on a hidden camera was waving around classified material and showing it to random people without clearance and bragged she wasnt allowed to have it?

1. Hillary was never President so did not have the powers of The Unitary Executive.

B. All papers Trump took with him were ipso-facto his papers and can be thought of as de-classified at the moment he took them.

III. We have no idea what the alleged papers are but it essentially does not matter, see 1 and B.

You can't even follow the basics? Man read a bit if you're going to talk about Jefferson and Adams, this is literally the common framework of discussion of government. Government violently intermediates between parties that would otherwise be in conflict. Both Locke and Hobbes agree on that principle, where they disagree is on the moral level of "natural man". If people don't steal from each other, you don't need laws and enforcers against theft. If you've got a ghetto, that really needs a strongman. Get to the starting line before acting all self-righteous about something you don't understand.

198 Step aside Mathew Brady!

||An image that became synonymous with the Spanish Civil War and catapulted the photographer Robert Capa to fame is a fake, new research has confirmed.

The Falling Soldier, showing a Spanish fighter apparently frozen in the moment of his death, was published by Life magazine in 1937. The caption read: “Robert Capa’s camera captures the instant when a Spanish soldier is shot in the head by a bullet on the Cordoba front” [...]

Comparing other photographs shot that day by Capa and his partner Gerda Taro, the professor says he has established that a sequence of images were taken by a camera mounted on a tripod which was inclined by ten degrees to give the impression that the stricken soldier was descending a hillside, when in fact the ground was flat.

“From where the site is, the militiaman in question is looking towards the defence lines of the Republican army,” he says.

In other words, the only way he could have been killed by a machinegun bullet would have been if his own side was firing at him.||

223 Asra Nomani • Defeating the #WokeArmy @AsraNomani
Today, at the corner of Campus Drive and Mannakee Street, in Montgomery County, Maryland, woke intersectionalism came to die.

Today, June 27, about 1,000 Arab Muslims, Ethiopian Christians, Peruvian Catholics and so many other brown and black immigrant families outflanked the dozen or so woke white activists who showed up to fight the efforts of parents to opt their kids out of age-inappropriate sexual content in schools.

Look at the contrast in the two sides. See how it defies the mainstream media narrative about “intersectionalism” that has been exploited to actually silence minorities from Asian Americans to Ethiopian Americans. Note: these parents and kids are being ignored by the Democratic politicians who are board members in Montgomery County Public Schools.

Muslims organized through @CoalitionVirtue and @IslamRFI. Ethiopians organized through dozens of churches in the area.

What do you see in their faces? In the crowd? I see people who have overcome fears for love of one value: the beauty of children!

233 But if I'm to be honest with myself, you cannot ignore some of Trump's to say the least questionable moves where he stabs himself in the back, like supporting Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel to be head of the RNC.

Irrespective of whether McDaniel is a GOPe/Uniparty stooge or not she failed. Completely and utterly.

She should have resigned and apologized.

If for not other reason Trump should have pushed for ANYONE else, even another Uniparty stooge because that lesson that failure has consequences needs to be rammed home.

Oh...and especially for those that hold there was no fraud in 2020/22. In that case why didn't you sweep the board McDaniel? Its the worst economy in American history with the Dems running some of the worst candidates America has ever seen (Fetterman anyone?) and you LOST a Senate seat.

I won’t even consider anyone else now. I’ll vote for him if he’s sitting in prison.

The murders are concerning. Violent crime was unknown around here when we first moved in. I suspect the criminals responsible are not local, but have infiltrated communities and homesteads while evading the law.

Yup. The FAA and NASA have long interfered with SpaceX and it's only going to be worse because of how much they hate Musk now. SpaceX would probably 2-5 years ahead of where they are now if it hadn't been for the difficulties in getting launch approvals and facilities access. This has been going on for a long time, but will probably get worse. There's a reason SpaceX made such rapid progress during the Trump administration, and part of it was that the regulatory burden was greatly lessened. The FAA quit fighting SpaceX tooth and nail at every opportunity (real or manufactured).

Starlink is SpaceX's satellite-based communications network. It works well and overcomes a lot of the problems with traditional satellite internet (mainly latency) because it uses massive constellations of low-earth satellites rather than hanging out in geostationary orbit with its very long round-trip time.

Starlink is expensive, though. The equipment isn't all that cheap, but the service cost is fairly high as compared to equivalent speed from a cable provider. The all-in cost is usually much higher than terrestrial broadband - but you can go look at pricing and see if it makes sense for you. It doesn't for me.

331 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. "As for the SCOTUS, this is just yet another in a nearly endless number of examples of why this notion of "a living and breathing Constitution"...

lobservateur dot com, Should Lady Justice Drop Her Blindfold, 05/13/2009. In part, Audacity of Hope, 2006, Barack Obama: "I have to side with Justice Breyer's view of the Constitution -- that it is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world." "During his presidential campaign: “We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old — and that’s the criterion by which I’ll be selecting my judges.” "When explaining his vote against [Supreme Court Nominee John] Roberts, Obama suggested that deciding the “truly difficult” cases requires “one’s deepest values, one’s core concerns, one’s broader perspectives on how the world works, and the depth and breadth of one’s empathy.”

334 RFK jr. has a condition called vocal dystonia which he says is a result of a surgery gone a bit awry.
It is difficult to understand at times.

335 274 My (white) friends: “Should we just leave now?”
Tour guide: “Oh, no! I didn’t mean it that way.”
My friends: “Yes you did.”

Thanks for sharing, and I earnestly hope your friends are extremely wealthy Yale Alumni, hold grudges tenaciously, and have a wide circle of like-minded friends.

336 Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) fumed: “It’s a continuation of Republicans acting as Donald Trump’s taxpayer-funded lawyers.”

And a guess that would make the dems, MSM, deep-state, Gov't Agencies, and major corporations such as Alphabet, the major Banks and Twitter all taxpayer-funded lawyers and goons for the Dems.

338 Yale is FOS

(Primary ethnicities):
International 22.2% 3,280

International is an ethnicity for the Ivy League or all universities and colleges?

341 China develops new bioweapon program that could 'specifically attack the genetics of an individual or a group of people'

there was an episode of Fringe that was about this. They stopped the guy in the end when the bio-agent was made to attack only the bad guy's DNA...

342 "It is evident that even in the reddest of red state legislatures that we are sorely lacking in that regard, perhaps fatally so."

Yep. Texas legislature is so full of 'moral conservatives' that they just voted to impeach what appears to be a very solid AG in Ken Paxton.

After 50 or so years of ceding our beliefs for the sake of 'getting along' we should dispense with anyone who is paid to do so.

I really do not care about Trumps minor failings - and they minor relative to his policies - he is the ONLY one in the 'race' who has any credibility on behalf of the People.

343 This is all Katanji. You know she was screaming about not having racist white legislatures gerrymandering those votes from innocent Black Democrats.
That is what this ruling is about, to ban gerrymandering by Republicans but mainstream gerrymandering by Democrats.
