SCOTUS this morning. I have thoughts.

[Slim Cognito]

I'm as angry as the next person but have there been any whispers of violence or destruction vis a vis the Supreme Courthouse? I mean, we're Antifa, not Oath Keepers.

Fox News this morning was all about reports that "the left" doxxed six Justices yesterday. I dunno, I never saw any doxxing, but perhaps Fox has sources I don't. They sent CAMERA CREWS to all six Justice's homes this morning to cover the anarchy, but as it turned out there was no one there. But for Fox News camera crews, annoying the neighborhoods.

Ah, I see ANTIFA has deployed the cloaking device.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

Ah, yes, the cloaking device! Why didn't Elmer Rhodes think of that?

I've watched the word being used by progressives in a wholly positive way to mean simply anti-fascist, but my understanding has been that the original Antifa groups believed in meeting violence with violence.

Yes/No?

FTR, not interested in the insane imaginary ways that the RWNJ's use the term.

The only threat of violence I've seen thus far is some far-right group threatening to come knock the heads of rallying choice supporters. I had a link but I closed it and don't remember the name of the group. It wasn't anything I recognized.

The Supreme Court requests privacy in this time to consider their options.

It's not much of a democratic country anymore if you have to barricade your highest public buildings.

It's not much of a democratic country anymore if you have to barricade your highest public buildings.

I wonder if this is a case of credible threats, abundance of caution, or 'liberals are so violent!' theater.

Our local clinic would dearly love to have barriers like that to keep the crazies away from the patients but SCOTUS outlawed the buffer zones for everyone but themselves apparently.

Funny, that.

Clarence Thomas says he worries respect for institutions is eroding

Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday that the judiciary is threatened if people are unwilling to “live with outcomes we don’t agree with” and that recent events at the Supreme Court might be “one symptom of that.”

“It bodes ill for a free society,” he said. It can’t be that institutions “give you only the outcome you want, or can be bullied” to do the same, he said.

For Thomas, avowed critic of Roe v. Wade, Mississippi abortion case a moment long awaited

The court’s longest-serving justice said he also worried about a “different attitude of the young” that might not show the same respect for the law as past generations. “Recent events have shown this major change,” he said.

Thomas is the member of the court least likely to adhere to stare decisis, the principle of letting past decisions stand. In past cases, including Casey, he called for Roe to be overturned.

“We use stare decisis as a mantra when we don’t want to think,” Thomas said.

Fuck him.

Hypocrite

“It bodes ill for a free society,” he said. It can’t be that institutions “give you only the outcome you want, or can be bullied” to do the same, he said.

He is the bully that bodes I’ll for a free society

The destroyer of respect

A friend reminded me of another side effect - women's credit ratings would suffer, at least those of child bearing age because they've become "unreliable" employees. Yes, I know women work during pregnancy NOW, but who knows where this shit is headed, especially if they go after birth control.

I haven't been able to verify but I saw something about Barrett writing an opinion that women need to be forced to give birth to supply the adoption biz with... ahem...merchandise.

No one should interview him without asking bout his wife, the looney insurrectionist.

[pipistrelle]

I did a LOL at this.

Yeah, one of my classic grips with the judicial branch is it grants itself protections that it denies others.
