Some Reads for the 28th

 Just who are the people who are stupid enough to vote for RFK, Jr. besides being stupid?

He is in there only to help Trump by peeling votes off Biden.

Women who have had medication abortions are not too happy with the high court listening to a bogus USSC case regarding the issue.

Obituary:  Former Connecticut senator and one-time vice presidential candidate (on the ticket with Al Gore in 2000) Joe Lieberman, 82, died yesterday from complications from a fall.  He was the first Jewish individual to be selected on a major party ticket.


Gore picked him principally to help him with seniors in Florida.  The fact that the Gore-Lieberman ticket DID have more votes in that state meant nothing to the corrupt United States Supreme Court, which halted the vote count to favor George W. Bush in the infamous Bush v. Gore decision.  That decision should have been a wakeup call (if the equally bogus Jones v. Clinton case didn't raise alarm bells earlier) that the high court was corrupt and totally partisan.

It has been downhill for the USSC ever since.

The self-styled left of the Democratic Party hounded Lieberman, I suspect because of a big dose of antisemitism, to the point he became an indepenndent. After he retired, he was involved with a ratfucking operation called No Labels, which hasn't yet take off.


Snip:

Lieberman was born in Stamford, Connecticut, on February 24, 1942. He went to Yale University — where it was clear a political career beckoned as he was nicknamed “Senator.” He later attended Yale Law School and in 1968, he ran the Connecticut presidential campaign of former Attorney General Robert Kennedy, until the candidate was assassinated.

Lieberman was elected to the Connecticut Senate in 1970 and rose to the position of majority leader. After a spell as attorney general of his home state, he became the first Orthodox Jew elected to the US Senate in November 1988.

Lieberman was married twice, including to Hadassah who survives him.

More About Yesterday's USSC Arguments

 Erin Hawley is a political hack, just like her husband.  Yes, there is nothing more infuriating than for women to go to bat for misogynist assholes who want to destroy women's rights.

And along those lines, Jessica Valenti writes about the good and the bad of arguing the mifepristone (RU-486) case in front of the USSC.

The Comstock Act is the first thing that needs to go.  The antiabortion nutjobs have shown their hand what they plan to do.  In fact, the  repeal of the Act should be done in THIS session of Congress even with the GOP in a very narrow control in the House.

I thought this video from last night with Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow was good.  The availability of mifepristone in the US in 2000 (during the final year of the Clinton administration) was every bit as revolutionary as the contraceptive pill was  when the latter was available in 1960.  









Will the USSC Make It Up Again?


Lots of speculation that the USSC will reject the antiabortion mifepristone case.  However, I don't put anything past them.  The emphasis with them seemed to center around "standing."

However, as we saw with the Biden student loan case last year, the USSC can literally make up shit decisions based on hypotheticals.

Arguments today (around three-hour mark):

 There is always a risk with diagnosing people you have never met, and Donald Trump is no exception.  Even so, Trump's odd behaviors and movement are quite noticeable these days.

And mental health experts have been sounding the alarm bells for a very long time.

A Few Reads for Friday

 It was sad news today about Catherine, Princess of Wales.  Like tens of millions of others around the world, maybe billions, I wish her a speedy and complete recovery.

Cancer is a complete bitch, and I should know having lost three siblings to the disease, two as adults.

Report plus Catherine's statement:


The rumor mill also hasn't stopped for King Charles, with this article claiming inside sources he has the dreaded pancreatic cancer, just about the most lethal kind there is.
