SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

[Kepler]

Schiff introduces a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to forbid Congress or the States from imposing reasonable viewpoint-neutral limitations on private campaign contributions or independent election expenditures, or from enacting systems of public campaign financing, including those designed to restrict the influence of private wealth by offsetting campaign spending or independent expenditures with increased public funding.

Wonder if the bloated, wrinkled blonde wife was questioned?

Seriously. "We're honest, just ask us!" It's amazing what you find when you don't look.

The internal investigation by the police department failed to find evidence of police brutality.

The New York Times

@nytimes
Breaking News: The Supreme Court announced that an internal investigation had failed to identify who leaked a draft of its opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

...because Roberts won't let them announce "It was Alito" and make the SCOTUS even more of a hated joke.

This is more vile than any of the state challenges. Truly gross stuff here.

Agreed. I can almost understand the states’ argument. Almost. This case is a joke. I could see SCOTUS tossing out this particular case for lack of standing, but siding with the states, despite that particular case also originally being tossed for lack of standing by a Bush appointee, but I know I’ve beaten the horse dead at this point.

Looks like the Supreme Court is taking up the other student loan case as well.

Interesting how the Supreme's don't get involved when money is being handed out to rich people.

That makes a lot more sense

i had read first piece as like not disclosing on taxes. Like we know at least one sc has been lying about spousal income

I kind of go back and forth on legislation like this. It's obviously a terrible tragedy when a member of the judiciary, or their family, is attacked or injured due the judge's performance of his or her duties. But when you think of the sheer number of interactions between judges and members of the public on a daily basis in this country, much of it contentious, it's still a really rare occurrence.

I'm sure I'd feel different if I were a judge. But when you pass legislation like this, you certainly open up the possibility that information about the judge, the judge's family or business dealings of the judge are much more difficult to make public, when they maybe should be made public due to possible corruption, etc...

Apparently, G & K are in the tank on the nutbar theory, so everything I am reading says it's up to Barrett.

Jesus. Think about that. The fate of democracy hangs on someone not up to presiding over The People's Court.

Thanks, Obama.

Maybe we can convince her cult master...errrr...spiritual leader it's what Jesus would want!
