B-Man

I'll come back to this thread later, after the initial childish hysteria is over .

Well, he certainly doesn't understand the ruling. That much is clear.

SATIRE ??? or truth .

And there it is. . . . . . . . . . common sense

9 - 0 , I thought we had a hopelessly divided court ? Justice Kagan writes the opinion in Moody v. NetChoice. Roberts, Sotomayor, Kavanaugh, and Barrett join in full. Jackson joins in part and has a concurring opinion. Thomas has an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment. Alito has an opinion concurring in the judgment and joined by Thomas and Gorsuch.

They continue to rein in the huge bureaucratic government (sorry Roundy) The first case is Corner Post, a 6-3 decision, divided in the usual way, written by Justice Barrett. SCOTUSblog: "The court holds that a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act to challenge an agency action first comes into being when the plaintiff is injured by final agency action.

LOL

Thus Gavin will 'encourage' all the attention to him, but he won't step in now, only to lose. He will wait for 28. .

BIDEN’S DEMENTIA By Scott Johnson President Biden is obviously suffering from some form of age-related dementia. Everyone can see it. Thus everyone could see it during the debate with President Trump this past Thursday evening. The Wall Street Journal puts it less bluntly in its editorial this morning: “[Biden’s] blank stare when Donald Trump was speaking suggested a man who is struggling to recall what he has been prepped for weeks to say, but who no longer has the memory to do it.” {snip} The cover-up has begun to unravel, but it has prominent participants such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. The cover-up is a sickening disgrace. Chances that Biden can complete a second term if reelected must asymptotically approach zero. The over/under on his completing his current term must be something in the vicinity of 50/50. It’s time for him to go. Dan McLaughlin takes up the national security implications of Biden’s incapacity in this New York Post column. When we are allowed to see him, we can see that Biden is declining before our eyes. Thus the concerted efforts to limit Biden’s public appearances and foster the disbelief of what we see with our own eyes. Biden has entered what Shakespeare’s Jaques describes as “Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history” — “second childishness and mere oblivion[.]” https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/06/bidens-dementia.php

The Art of Being Eternally Shocked: How the Press and Pundits are Again Mystified by the Obvious By Jonathan Turley No one would think of the Beltway as being a place of the naive innocents of our society. Washington is the only ecosystem composed entirely of apex predators. Yet, this week everyone seems to be eternally shocked by what has been obvious for years. The press and pundits are coming off an embarrassing couple of weeks where the Hunter Biden laptop was authenticated in federal court as real. This occurred in the trial of the president’s son almost on the anniversary of a debunked letter of intelligence officials claiming that the laptop appeared to be Russian disinformation. Biden then repeated the claim in the last presidential debates to avoid answering questions over the massive influence peddling scheme of this family revealed by the laptop. After the story was suppressed before the 2020 election, it took years for the media to admit that, oops, the laptop is surprisingly real. For years, the press and pundits piled on experts who suggested that Covid 19 escaped from a Chinese lab. The New York Times reporter covering the area called it “racist” and implausible. Now, even W.H.O. accepts the lab theory as possible and federal agencies now believe it is the most likely explanation. The response: surprise and spin. This week, the Supreme Court ruled that the Justice Department has unlawfully charged hundreds of people with obstruction of an official proceeding after the January 6th riot. For years, objections to the excessive treatment of these cases were dismissed as the view of the radical right. Now, even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson voted to toss out these convictions. Surprise. Whether it was the false story about agents whipping migrants in Texas or the photo op claim in Lafayette Park, false stories were disproven only to have a collective shrug from those who spread them. For years, the press and pundits have repeated like gospel that Trump had called neo-Nazis “fine people.” At the time, most of us noted that Trump condemned the racists and neo-Nazis and made the statement about fine people on both sides of the controversy over the removal of historic statues. Six years later, Snopes finally decided to do a fact check and, surprise, found that Trump never praised neo-Nazis as fine people. The only person not surprised was Biden who repeated the false story on Friday as true. {snip} After the debate, there was total surprise, if not shock, on CNN and MSNBC. Suddenly, it is not a cheap fake but reality. Just seven days before the debate, the New York Times was running cheap fake articles on how Biden was being wrongly portrayed. The day after the debate, it was calling for him to withdraw from the race after expressing shock at his appearance. The laptop is real, the President is really old, and Washington is really really phony. The only thing that would be more surprising is if pundits and the press started being a lot less shocked and more honest. https://jonathanturley.org/2024/06/29/the-art-of-being-eternally-surprised-how-the-press-and-pundits-are-again-mystified-by-the-obvious/

FTA: But Biden's performance was more than cold water in the face of the Democrats. His responses to questions and his inability to remain coherent shine a light on the one big question that has lingered over the Biden administration - who is running the show? One of the more popular theories has been that Barack Obama has been running the show this whole time. Others say it's Jill Biden. And some folks (including myself) have figured that the befuddled old man was the figurehead of an administration run entirely by staffers with little input from the guy supposedly in charge. But the answers Biden gave on the stage Thursday night prove one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt: The man who can't form a coherent response to debate questions is the same man producing incoherent policies in the White House. To be honest, it would probably be better for the country if Barack Obama, Jill Biden, or someone else were running a shadow government. But instead, we're getting a government run by a man who doesn't realize he can't do it. And that is probably the most dangerous kind of leadership we could have. https://redstate.com/joesquire/2024/06/29/after-thursday-nights-debate-we-finally-know-who-is-running-the-white-house-n2176157 .

SUPREME COURT PARES BACK FEDERAL REGULATORY POWER: The Supreme Court upended the federal regulatory framework in place for 40 years, expanding the power of federal judges to second-guess agency decisions over environmental, consumer and workplace safety policy, among other areas. The 6-3 decision, along ideological lines, discards a 1984 precedent directing federal courts to defer to agency legal interpretations when the statutory language passed by Congress is ambiguous. Conservative legal activists, Republican-led states and some business groups have argued in recent years that the 1984 case, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, allows agenda-driven regulators to push the limits of their power. By abandoning the doctrine called Chevron deference, the justices have given parties unhappy with agency decisions more opportunities to overturn regulations by persuading federal judges that agency officials exceeded their authority. Even before the decision, the conservative-dominated court had been hammering away at federal regulatory power, in opinions that threw out Biden administration policies ranging from public-health measures to contain Covid-19 to a blanket cancellation of student-loan debt. But while the Supreme Court hasn’t cited Chevron for authority in years, many lower courts said they remained bound by the doctrine as long as it remained on the books. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/supreme-court-pares-back-federal-regulatory-power-954a101c?st=bqs3kkokkqnbdji&reflink=article_email_share ,

After the debate and the stories after, this the best comment Frank can come up with weak sauce noun something that is of a poor or disappointingstandard or quality. "the rest of your argument is weak sauce" adjective of a poor or disappointing standard or quality. "don't buy this weak-sauce car even with the price cut"

Again with the “I GIVE YOU MY WORD AS A BIDEN “ bullspit ? Does he realize what most of America thinks when he says that ?

The Liars Have Been Exposed One of the more interesting bits of spin--actually, the ONLY bit of spin from the Democrats--coming out of the debate was that whatever you think of Joe Biden's performance, Trump spewed nothing but one lie after another. On its face, the claim is ridiculous. Joe Biden pushed so many hoaxes during the debate that it was laughable. Snopes just put the final nail in the coffin of the "fine people" hoax just a few days ago and Biden trotted it out again. It was pathetic. But as I, Ed, and John have already pointed out today, the biggest liars who were exposed last night were the mainstream media and all the people who have been telling us that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, doing handstands while solving the dark matter conundrum and curing cancer every day. Bari Weiss, as she often does, sums up the real bottom line of the debate: the mainstream media are the biggest liars in America. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/06/28/bari-weiss-the-liars-have-been-exposed-n3791124
