Now, now, I'm sure Senator Collins feels that Kavanaugh has learned his lesson.

Roberts puts out a press release saying that the document is authentic but that's not the opinion of the court so far

Pretty sure the leak successfully "undermined the integrity of our operations," not that it had far to go.

Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Alito's reasonings to the contrary relying on originalist 'thought' and how cases fell in the 19th century turning on thoughts at the time of the fetus remain partisan fuckery and no pearl-clutching, hand-wringing, or sophistry can make it otherwise. Any argument made by any legal 'scholar' regarding how none of the unenumerated rights spawned by Roe, Casey, Obergefell, etc., 'actually' exist need to be met with just a loud chanting of Amendment IX, over and over again, until they go away.

When he wants to be originalistic then on the 2nd Amenment he ought to ban modern day firearms for militias, restrict them to front loading devices, filled from powder bags, flint stone ignited

Kinda on topic... this is the thing about constitutionalist and originalist though. They treat the Constitution like they treat the Bible. I was reading a piece today with quotes from various conservative legal minds on the draft and a recurring theme was their joy of justices with a 'proper interoperation' of the Constitution.. .it is a religious document, and like other religious documents it says whatever they want it to say and if you call them on it, it is not their fault the holy founders demand certain things from them, and how can one ask such heretical questions? They have the one true interoperation, and everyone else is mislead by Satan^H^H^H^H^H freedom hating feminist race baiting communists!

Maybe the Supremes should declare that the amendments to the Constitution that they do not like or do not quite understand are therefore unconstitutional.

Would save a lot of hand-wringing and angst among the unwashed masses that they despise.

Hacking collective Anonymous has warned the U.S. Supreme Court against striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, adding that it may “get burned” if it does so.

In a Twitter post published Tuesday, Anonymous said the Supreme Court and Republicans should “expect” some type of retaliation should they repeal Roe v. Wade decision. The landmark decision was made in 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled that governments lacked the power to prohibit abortions and that it was a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy in the first three months of pregnancy.

“Repealing Roe v Wade isn't going to go the way SCOTUS or the GOP thinks it's going to go. Play with fire, get burned. Don't say we didn't warn you,” the hacking collective wrote. “Expect us.”

Way past time to add 6 more justices to SCOTUS.

Then impeach those that lied at their confirmation hearings...

IIRC, the slide toward the rogue court began when Scalia refused to recuse himself from - a case? More than one case? - in which Dick Cheney was involved after socializing with Cheney. Not simply at the same event, but… hunting? I dont recall .

I skimmed (and I mean super skimmed) the WAPO annotated version. IANAL or even one on TV but it seems pure projection, accusing Roe v. Wade of being everything it is.
