law and order

Roberts punted to stare decisis because of a recent decision:

Quote from: https://www.vox.com/2020/6/29/21306895/supreme-court-abortion-chief-justice-john-roberts-stephen-breyer-june-medical-russo

The best reading of the Court’s decision in June Medical Services v. Russo is that Roberts just gave the constitutional right to an abortion a potentially very brief reprieve. And he did so largely because Louisiana presented the weakest possible case in June Medical.

As Justice Stephen Breyer notes in his plurality opinion, June Medical involves a Louisiana law that is “almost word-for-word identical” to a Texas law the Supreme Court struck down four years ago in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt (2016). Both laws require abortion providers to obtain admitting privileges at a hospital near the clinic where they perform abortions in order to continue to provide them — a credential that is very difficult for abortion providers to obtain and that does little or nothing to improve health outcomes.

The Court voted 4-1-4, with Justice Stephen Breyer writing a plurality opinion for himself and his three liberal colleagues, and Roberts writing a separate opinion emphasizing the narrowness of his approach to this case.

Only one thing has changed between June Medical and Whole Woman’s Health. Justice Anthony Kennedy, a relatively moderate conservative who cast the key fifth vote to strike down the Texas law, is no longer on the Court. And his replacement, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, opposes abortion rights. Kavanaugh dissented in June Medical.

So abortion opponents apparently bet that the replacement of Kennedy with Kavanaugh would allow them to litigate Whole Woman’s Health all over again — but with a different result. They bet wrong.

The fact that June Medical is almost entirely identical to Whole Woman’s Health forms the basis of Roberts’s opinion. “I joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided,” the chief justice writes. Nevertheless, “the question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.”

Ultimately, Roberts concludes that the principle of stare decisis — the doctrine that courts should generally be bound by their prior decisions — compels him to strike down Louisiana’s law. “The result in this case is controlled by our decision four years ago invalidating a nearly identical Texas law,” Roberts concludes.

Similar to the 7-2 case immigration last week, where it was actually more like 5-2-2. Breyer and RBG in that case voting on the specifics of the particular case while opposing the broad ruling of the majority.

Schadenfreude's a bad way to approach politics generally but I'm reading social conservatives melt down and just pinging that serotonin button.

Now just have to hope Biden wins, RGB stays alive through January, and either Roberts becomes the new Souter or Kavanaugh gets whacked over his gambling debts.

Another of the GOP sources cited in the report said of the likelihood that Mr Trump will drop out: “I’ve heard the talk but I doubt it’s true. My bet is, he drops if he believes there’s no way to win.”

They don't need Donald on the ticket. They need daddy to stumble through the summer so the Biden nomination is official and if the polls don't improve they'll switch Donald with Ivanka at the RNC.
For some reason the Trump's are very involved with the upcoming GOP convention and needed it to be on 'home turf' in Florida.

Yet the family isn't campaigning and they aren't spending money to turn this ship around, something is up.

I read a poll that says Trump is 40% and Biden is merely 47%> this means there's like 13% unaccounted/other/undecided/third party.

It legit angers me Biden isn't any higher.

If Biden loses because #bothsides people after the entire ordeal with corona and the protests then I'm going to kick own ass to the moon. Before Covid, I understood. Now? You have to be completely fucking daft to say there's no difference. Trump's response to Covid may result in half a million dead.

The large monument stood at City Hall for nearly 65 years. The city of Genoa, Italy, the explorer's birthplace, gave the statue to the Ohio city during festivities that coincided with the national holiday in October.

What is the gift etiquette on this? Do we have to return it back to Genoa or can we regift it to another city named Columbus?
