Does Justice Sotomayor's Intemperate Rant

Roe v. Wade Is About to Be Overturned?
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/25/2022 9:17:51 PM
For the first time in my life, I have a strong feeling that the infanticidal regime established by Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and reinforced by a bevy of stupid and strictly results-oriented decisions might be on the verge of repudiation by a clear majority of the Supreme Court. There are two major abortion cases before the Supreme Court. One case, arising from Mississippi and called Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, bans abortion after the 15th week for all intents and purposes. The law has been in litigation since enacted, but six justices seemed

A fun leftover from yesterday and our latest entry in the Someone Left The Irony On Department. With brinksmanship escalating between the US, the European Union, and Ukraine, CNN’s John Berman asks a solid question: why should Americans care about the fate of this country on the eastern edge of Europe? Jonathan Finer, deputy national security adviser to Joe Biden, says we should be all about enforcing border security and recognizing national sovereignty.
Er .. who wants to tell him?
On Tuesday, Neil Young gave streaming service Spotify an ultimatum.
“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he told them. “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
Well, Spotify chose Joe Rogan.
According to a report from Wall Street Journal, the streaming giant is “in the process of removing Neil Young’s music” from the platform.
“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines—potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.” Spotify chose to honor their $100+ million contract with Rogan
President Biden's approval rating dropped to 41 percent in the latest Pew Research Center survey as the president hemorrhages support with key voting groups.
The Pew survey, published Tuesday, found Biden's approval rating was down from 44 percent in September and significantly lower than the 59 percent approval rating he had in April.
"Biden’s job approval numbers have declined across most demographic groups since September," the survey found.
The Pew survey found Biden's approval had dropped by 7 percentage points
The coming midterm elections are not looking good for Democrats. In fact, short of some kind of divine intervention, Joe Biden’s party is going to get absolutely boat-raced. It could stack up to be a wave election that makes 2010 look like child’s play, and I don’t say that lightly.
In the midst of that hostile environment, numerous Democrat incumbents have announced their retirements, which is usually a sure-fire sign of coming doom. You may recall all the articles from 2018 noting how Republican retirements were a very bad sign. Indeed, they did precede a blue wave, and the reverse is now occurring in 2022.
Just how bad are things?

New York’s indoor mask mandate for schools and other public locations will remain in effect after an appeals court judge granted a stay on Tuesday, temporarily blocking a ruling from a lower court that struck down the mandate one day earlier.
Justice Robert Miller’s ruling on Tuesday effectively allows the mask requirement to temporarily go back into effect while the state files a formal appeal of the Monday ruling. Another hearing is scheduled on the mask mandate for Friday morning.
“As Governor, my top priority is protecting the people of this state. These measures are critical tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19, make schools and businesses safe, and save lives,” G
Following the fatal shooting of a police officer in Manhattan last week, Mayor Eric Adams on Monday unveiled his new strategy to combat rising gun violence in New York City, starting with the deployment of an anti-gun crime unit next month.
“We will not surrender our city to the violent few,” Adams said.
The city will launch a reinvented version of the plainclothes anti-crime unit, which was disbanded amid the civil unrest prompted by the murder of George Floyd, to emphasize fostering community trust in law enforcement rather than the aggressive crime-fighting tactics that had provoked protest from Black Lives Matter.
News reports on Monday, January 24 state that President Biden has begun to put US troops on high alert that they may be deploying to Eastern Europe and that US troops will be symmetrically deployed to the west of Ukraine opposite Russian forces, thus surrounding the beleaguered nation on both sides.
Nine hundred miles east of the Cold War’s Fulda Gap, Ukraine has become the 21st Century version of the contest arena for the latest test of wills in Europe’s long history of power struggles between the children of the Caucuses.
As of this week, the United States and the European Union are in a race

Up to 8,500 US troops have been put on heightened alert for a possible deployment to Eastern Europe as Russian troops mass on Ukraine's border, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Monday.
But, sources have told WRAL News' Fayetteville reporter, Gilbert Baez, that Fort Bragg troops will be going to Europe. The public affairs officers for Fort Bragg's 18th Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne Division said the White House will have to confirm any deployments.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued the prepare to deploy orders at the direction of President Joe Biden. Kirby said no final decision to deploy the troops had been made.
Remember when we were all assured that Joe Biden was a paradigm of decency? Unlike the bad orange man, he would never lose his temper and launch a gross attack on the free press.
Well, that’s how the story went anyway. In reality, Biden has continuously shown himself to be a thin-skinned man-child who can’t take even the slightest hint of criticism. Today, that boiled over into an expletive-laden attack on Fox News’ Peter Doocy.
Gird your loins, because you are about to witness an event that would have CNN’s Jim Acosta in tears if it involved Donald Trump.
A New York State Supreme Court judge on Monday ruled that Governor Kathy Hochul’s mask mandate for schools and other public locations is unconstitutional.
Judge Thomas Rademaker found that the governor and the state health commissioner did not have the authority to enact a mask mandate without the state legislature, given that the governor no longer has emergency powers.
The mask mandate has been in place since mid-December, when the state saw a surge in the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
“There can be no question that every person in this State wishes, wants and prays that this era of COVID ends soon and they will surely do their part to see that
The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will take up suits challenging the consideration of race as a factor in college admissions.
The Court will hear challenges by non-profit Students for Fair Admissions against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, alleging both schools discriminate against Asian applicants. Arguments will likely be heard in spring of this year, with a decision by June.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in October 2021 following the SFA lawsuit, while a federal appeals court rejected SFA’s suit against Harvard in November 2020.

Neil Young, the legendary rocker, reportedly posted a letter to his management team that he wanted his music pulled from Spotify because it is providing a platform for popular podcast host Joe Rogan to spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Rolling Stone, which first reported on Young’s letter, reported that the post has since been deleted. Young reportedly wrote in the letter that he wants Spotify to "know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform."

Kim Kardashian was enjoyed a coffee date with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former first daughter Chelsea as part of a new docu-series on trailblazer women. The former reality TV star was spotted with her unlikely friends at the black-owned Hot & Cool Café in Canoga Park in Los Angeles on Monday. The trio was accompanied by a camera crew, who are thought to be connected to Clinton's upcoming Apple TV+ docuseries Gutsy Women, TMZ reported.
Nearly 64,000 U.S. troops are at the ready in Europe to deploy to the continent's eastern flank if President Biden makes such a call to counter growing Russian aggression at the border with Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin has deployed 100,000 Russian forces to the Ukraine border and continues to stoke fears he will invade, the U.S. may have to ready its troops and its cache of arms situated throughout Europe, including 40 warships, 175 aircraft and 90 tanks. Military officials presented the commander-in-chief with a plan to deploy up to 50,000 troops if the security situation deteriorates and Russia launches an invasion
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Biden stands by his commitment to nominate a Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Mr. Biden is expected to formally announce Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer’s retirement and will have his first opportunity to install a new justice since taking office.
He pledged during the 2020 campaign that he would nominate the first Black woman to serve in the high court if a seat opened during his tenure. “The president has stated and reiterated his commitment to nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court, and certainly stands by that for today,” Ms. Psaki told reporters.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — According to Mayor Eric Adams, it “makes no sense” uniformed police officers aren’t required to live in New York City. Adams addressed the policy Monday following a press conference about gun violence, the New York Post reported. “I want you here in this city,” Adams said. “I want you to go to the cleaners. I want you to go to the churches, to the supermarket, your children should be in our schools. We shouldn’t have 30 something percent of officers residing [out of New York City].” Uniformed members of the NYPD must be New York residents
Washington—Republicans’ faith in science is falling as Democrats rely on it even more, with a trust gap in science and medicine widening substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic, new survey data shows. It’s the largest gap in nearly five decades of polling by the General Social Survey, a widely respected trend survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago that has been measuring confidence in institutions since 1972. That is unsurprising to more than a dozen scientists reached for comment by The Associated Press, but it concerns many of them. Science used to be something all Americans would get behind, Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley said.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire.
As one of three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, his vacancy, reported by several outlets Wednesday, will pave the way for President Joe Biden to nominate a new judge to the highest court.
"It has always been the decision of any Supreme Court Justice if and when they decide to retire, and how they want to announce it, and that remains the case today," White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote in a statement. "We have no additional details or information to share."

Musician Neil Young on Tuesday deleted his post of a letter that directed his management team and record label to remove his music from Spotify over what he views as COVID misinformation spread by podcaster Joe Rogan.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," he wrote, Rolling Stone reports. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both."
The part-time Crosby, Stills & Nash member accused Spotify of "spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them."
A quote from President Joe Biden exclaiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t want” him to beat Donald Trump in the 2020 election has come back to haunt him as the fate of Ukraine hangs in the balance.
“Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President,” he tweeted in February of 2020. “He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.” [Tweet]
Biden made this pronouncement even after former President Trump attempted to block the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline,
Surveillance video shared on social media of a shooting inside a Spring Garden pizza shop last month appears to contradict portions of the initial account shared by police, including the assertion that the shooting victim was shot after he tried to strangle the mother of the teenager who ended up firing on him.
The 28-second video instead shows the would-be robber forcefully reaching for the register — not the cashier — in an apparent attempt to steal money. Within seconds, a 14-year-old behind the counter pulled a gun from his waistband and fired from point-blank range, the video shows.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday that she will seek another term in Congress, ending months of speculation within the Democratic caucus over whether she would run again. The 81-year-old revealed her plan in a video posted to Twitter, in which she said that “much more needs to be done to improve people’s lives.”
“Our democracy is at risk because of the assaults on the truth, the assault on the US Capitol and the state-by-state assault on voting rights,” she said in the video. “This election is crucial. Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. But as we say, we don’t agonize, we organize
