    She'll be dead before she reveals anyones names.  I hate that I'm even typing that., but the powerful people on those tapes will be able to get to her somehow.

    Don't see her getting killed.  Paid off maybe.  Fuck it.  You're probably right.  The centralized power - monied and political- is too great.

    The last time a Republican senate confirmed a Dem president's nominee was in 1895. Of course, the guy they confirmed wrote Lochner and was part of the majority in Plessy, so fuck him. 

    You sure?  Didn't RBG and Breyer get through R senates?  Just off top of my head.  Clinton appoints.

    The entire Republican platform is based on fear of the darkies becoming the majority.  That train has left the station.  Sorry to ruffle your feathers with the truth, "bitch".  LMAO.

    When you lament that the Democrats run shitty campaigns and get smoked at mid-terms it's moronic thinking like this.

    LMAO.  40% of this country is racist as fuck.  You vote right along with them.

    This is your worst post ever.  Fuck you, you bitch.  Just because someone disagrees with you politically you throw the racist flag.  The epitome of shallow fucking thinking.  Our current president is bottom 10.  Nope, he ain't trump, but like aggy you want to put it on the wall!

    As someone who spent his college years working in a restaurant - I breaded thousands and thousands of CFS.  All you need is flour, buttermilk, and salt and pepper.

    Sprinkle the S&P on your meat.

    Drop and pound that meat in the flour.

    Drop it in the buttermilk - make sure its all wet.

    Then drop that meat back into the flour - pound it out to size being careful not to tear the meat.

    Fry that bitch.

    Pull it out, drain, sprinkle with S&P.

     

    *But the key when you're making it at home is to sprinkle buttermilk into the flour (and mix it around) so that you create little 'dumplings' in the flour container before you start breading your meat.  This happens naturally when you're frying hundreds of CFS a day - but if you're doing it at home you need to do it manually.

    Pound your meat talk continues

    I'm always telling my kids things about the notion of fair, so today has me laughing. 
    "Fair is a four letter word."
    "Fair is just a feeling."
    "Fair is for pig auctions and pie-eating contests."
    I thought about Fair Is a Four Letter Word but it doesn't have the scale I like for title changes.

    Forgot Ewers had an NIL agent, and honestly that makes me feel a bit better. Makes this all seem much more likely to be a leverage play rather than an inexplicable emotional decision.

    This.  And I'll take some more anonymous positive news to inject on a lazy Sunday.   Anything... Qanon errrr. QEwernon....

    Worth the time.  

    Below from David Post.

    It's liberty your honor....

    Spoiler

    To put it differently: the Court must, if it is to overrule Roe and Casey, explain why, under the principles of stare decisis, it is discarding its own prior holding applying the principles of stare decisis to this constitutional right.

    It's a little headache-inducing (could we get precedent^3? will the decision in this case be precedent for the use of precedent to determine the use of precedent? and so on) - but I do think framing the central question this way works considerably to Respondent's advantage. To do what Mississippi asks it to do, the Court will have to explain not only why and how Roe got it wrong (and not just wrong, but wrong in a way that justifies tossing it aside), but why and how Casey got it wrong when it held that the principles of stare decisis do not require overturning Roe (and not just wrong, but wrong in a way that justifies our tossing that holding aside as well). I don't think that's going to be too easy to do.

    The second noteworthy moment came in a discussion of the source of the underlying constitutional right that the Respondents were asserting. Justice Thomas asked the question this way:

    JUSTICE THOMAS: Back to my original question. I know your interest here is in abortion, I understand that, but, if I were to ask you what constitutional right protects the right to abortion, is it privacy? Is it autonomy? What would it be? … What I'm trying to focus on is to lower the level of generality or at least be a little bit more specific. In the old days, we used to say it was a right to privacy that the Court found in the due process, substantive due process clause, okay? So I'm trying to get you to tell me, what are we relying on now? Is it privacy? Is it autonomy? What is it?

    I liked Ms. Rikelman's terse reply:

    MS. RIKELMAN: It's liberty, Your Honor.

    Basta cosi.  That line should appear on t-shirts in the near future.

    She continued:

    It's the textual protection in the Fourteenth Amendment that a state can't deprive a person of liberty without due process of law, and the Court has interpreted liberty to include the right to make family decisions and the right to physical autonomy …

    Well, it was a conservative court that decided it.  And the reasoning, extending rights of privacy and autonomy at least implicitly recognized in the BIll of Rights and elsewhere, is seductive.

    But, it does suffer from the creation of a fundamental right that is only barely hinted at in the Constitution and beyond the comprehension, for the most part, of the Constitution's drafters.  It is also frail in that it is dependent on ever-changing medical science to measure the right granted.  That is, if medical science could make viability earlier than first trimester, Roe would apparently have to yield to that science.

    Of the more blatant departures from the text and structure of the Constitution, I like Roe v. Wade, along with the related "privacy interest" cases, like Griswold,   They are solid examples of that type of interpretation of the Constitution.

    I don't disagree with Roe v. Wade.  But doctrinally speaking, some of the criticisms leveled at it are valid, as far as they go.

    The Notorious RBG on Roe.

    Had some windshield time to listen to most of the orals.   Sotomayor was on fucking point.

    Don't see completely overturning Roe or Casey.  Not argued today but the effect of the TX law would seem to cross the undue burden line that Casey drew.

    For mine at least it only can be run at full on 3200 RPM which I don't want because it's pretty loud right outside the window so I turn it off and just have to remember to turn it on low speed below freezing.  Until it hits 5F and no power....well what are the odds of that.

    Lulz.  5F?!  Crazy talk!
