In what may be the non-sequitur of the century, US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch appended a procedural order with a 900+ word public service announcement about the danger to liberty and Democracy … from the political response to COVID-19.

If You Want a Dirty Justice, The Wise Latina Failed to Recuse Herself and Then Ruled in Her Publisher’s Favor
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, has made most of her accumulating wealth from book deals with Random House or its subsidiaries. A sum of 3.6 million dollars over eleven years if the reporting is accurate. So, why didn’t she recuse herself in Aaron Greenspan v. Random House?
SCOTUS on Senate Ethics Complaint Against Justice Clarence Thomas: A Unanimous “Up Yours!”
An Update: Well, perhaps not quite that direct but certainly, within the “politically polite” language used in DC (aka “my friends on the other side of the aisle” as they are shivving each other), a 9-0 unanimous vote against acceding to the whims of an (allegedly) co-equal Branch of government.
Attacking SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas by Demanding a Democrat Spawned Code of Ethics
The Democrats hate him with a passion that is an order magnitude hotter than the surface of the Sun. They hated him when Joe Biden chaired the US Senate Judiciary Committee at the time and the heat has never stopped.
SCOTUS Takes Another Bite Out of The Admininstrative State (Or Does It?)
In an increasingly rare 9-0 decision, the US Supreme Court has given the Administrative Statr a little pat on the bottoms of the Federal Trade Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission, though the decision has broader implications.
Promoted from the Comments: “What Is Your Explanation for How That Happened, and Why Won’t It Happen to You?”
Grokster Ian has a great line in a comment he left on “2024 Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Event: 2023-02-22 – Panel Discussion with Vivek and Drew Cline“; it’s actually repeated twice and written differently.
Orwell’s 1984 and Sandy Hook. An Open Letter to the Great Nine
Dear Nine American Justices, I’ve been told that you have before you a very modest case in which the Petitioner/Defendant, who was entitled to have a jury trial, now asks for your help. All that is required is that you send it back to the lower court for a trial.
Would a Federal Law Legalizing Abortion Survive the Supreme Court?
Leading Democrats have announced they want a federal statute overruling state laws that restrict abortion. In other words, they want Congress to legalize nearly unrestricted abortion nationwide. Obviously, such a law would intrude into an area of social policy traditionally left to the states.
Well, Well – The Spectre of Responsibility Has Finally Returned? Or Rebellion Against The Loss of Free Sex?
OK, this is a couple of weeks old as this came out after SCOTUS decided that the Federal Government had no part in abortion… Sidenote: isn’t this what the anti-life aficionados have been weeping over for months? For Government to get out of the relationship between pregnant women and their doctors? They should be THANKING … Read more
Really? The EPA Is Going to Take a Second Bite at the CO2 Apple?
Yeah, “jealously guarding their Powers” is a quote I keep using in talking about what each of our co-equal Branches of Government should be doing (but haven’t). Yet, in the lengthening shadow of the SCOTUS decision that the EPA could just make stuff up on their own (e.g., can’t regulate CO2 emissions of power plants … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings: No, Lloyd, SCOTUS Didn’t Limit the EPA Powers; Congress Never Gave It That Power to Begin With! Part 1
The absolute beserk attitudes of the Greenies continues as the SCOTUS decision concerning the EPA’s capability to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants is still reverberating (along with Dobbs (abortion back to the States), NYC (Second Amendment / Conceal Carry), and First Amendment (Religious Liberty for a football coach and religious school student vouchers)). This … Read more
Following ‘Bruen’ SCOTUS Overturns Four Lower Court Cases that Upheld Gun Restrictions
Liberal states have lost their collectivist hive mind in the wake of the 6-3 decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. How Dare you recognize a right defended by the Constitution and not the High Court. But wait, there’s more!
Cannot Win the Game, Change the Rules
I recently wrote that if things do not go the way Democrats would like, they will tear down the process. That the likes of Cortez (formerly AOC) and Elizabeth Warren went on the record to say that the Supreme Court should be eliminated and the Democrats should pack the Court with more Justices, respectively.
Friday Open Thread – Should Government Boss Society around or Should It Be Society Dictating to Government?
Indeed: Abortion – really a case of Federalism sending Powers back to the States School Vouchers – really a case of Religious Liberty and telling States they can’t discriminate against non-secular schools Guns – really a case of Individual Liberty / Constitution MEANS what is written (“shall not be infringed”) Prayer – again, Religious Freedom … Read more
Notable Quote – See, SCOTUS Was Right in Its Beatdown on the EPA and CO2 Emissions!
I found this back on April 1 but it is no April Fool’s Day joke – it is serious stuff and shows that yesterday’s SCOTUS decision (on which I’ll have more to say later) was correct as we on the Right have been watching the rise of The Administrative State.
So the Editors at the Laconia Daily Sun believe that the US Constitution GIVES us our Rights?
In the June 27 edition of the Sun, Richard Tracy made a great point about rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, the editors at the Sun may not fully understand the concept of inalienable rights. The headline of the letter read, “Second Amendment at core gives right to self-defense.”
Praying Coach Kennedy Wins at US Supreme Court
“Petitioner Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach in the Bremerton School District after he knelt at midfield after games to offer a quiet personal prayer.”
Night of Rage
Well, we were promised more “mostly peaceful” protests if SCOTUS dared overturn Roe vs Wade. They did and fulfilling their promise “Jane’s Revenge”, a radical group of a radical movement called for “If Row can’t be safe neither can you”. Sure enough, all those mostly peaceful protestors (aka terrorists) turned out, clashed with police in … Read more
