Saturday Afternoon

So, any excitement this week?

DCSCA--Justice Alito explained it extremely clearly: there is no constitutional right to electively KILL another human. Take the time to read what he wrote, and his response to the dissent.

The Leftists SO screwed up, passing those third trimester baby killing laws. Do they not know every citizen has seen ultrasounds, for decades now??? Drew a whole lot of negative attention from millions of people who'd been looking the other way for decades.
You have to have seen the polling.
The VAST majority of citizens do NOT support second, let alone third trimester baby killing.

When even Ann Althouse doesn't object to yesterday's decision, you know that Roe v Wade was as bad a legal decision as has long been said. Go take a look at what that U WI Con Law prof has posted in the past 36 hours.

Meaning--the majority pulled that penumbra stuff out of their asses in 1973, and intelligent, honest attorneys have long held that to be the case. You can read for yourself what RBG said about it.

Women still have the of right to manage their bodies (Unless they are in healthcare and want to keep their job, where the mandate for the dangerous, ineffective mRNA injections still exist) including using effective birth control and even--sit down here--abstaining from practices that result in unwanted pregnancies.

Every single woman whose pregnancy was not the result of rape already made a choice.

Back in 1973, I don’t remember any violence or destruction when the SCOTUS ruled abortion legal on the federal level.

On January 22, 1973, in the midst of coverage of the Supreme Court's decision on Roe v Wade, NBC News interrupts the broadcast to report the death of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

I took my Camera Obscura to the Vermeer dealer in Sidney, NE and they wouldn’t even look at it, do you believe it?

Speaking of Sidney, NE, maybe we shouldn’t have turned our economy over to a bunch of Vulture Capitalists. I’m pretty sure Saint Thomas Aquinas would have called them evil.

Christian pregnancy center in Colorado vandalized and burned following Roe v. Wade reversal

Ace's feel good story of the day:

."Kevin Mayes, pilot of a single-engine Cessna, was on his way to Sacramento from Seattle, WA when he suffered catastrophic engine failure at 9,000 feet. Luckily, he was close to an airfield at Hillsboro, OR. Kevin managed to glide to the airport, spiral down to the runway, and make a textbook non-powered landing, all while seeming to barely break a sweat."

Ace overnight joke:

"Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.

A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone’s relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts. However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird’s beaks and claws.

By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.

MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.

He very quickly concluded the cause: When crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout “Cah”, not a single one could shout “Truck.” H/T Isophorone Blog"

Ukraine has been pushed out of Sieverierodonetssk and several pockets south of Lysychansk as the battle shifts to the southern approaches of Lysyschansk.

Russia punctuated the loss by slinging a volley of missiles, presumably at strategic targets, elsewhere in Ukraine.

Ukraine war: unit loses 80% of professional soldiers

The unit were all professional soldiers. In their place come much less experienced fighters. Combat medic Iryna Tsybuh says ‘They are scared. They don’t know what to do.’

Worth a watch as I think it explains what is happening to front-line units on both sides after four months of war.

It would help to explain the slower pace of the war even as it has become more concentrated in the Donbas area.

Thanks, clarice. I had not given enough attention to federalism in the Supreme Court decision. Garland, as well as Biden, Pelosi and others have overplayed their hand with their intemperate remarks.

I still wonder why abortion is so important to these people, just as I wonder why they are determined that everyone get the jab. It seems very sinister to me.

The federal government has misused its powers for 20 years. From denying 501(c) status to conservative organizations to openly investigating to phony charges and no knock raids It has been incredibly one-sided.

And when the state acts in such a manner it loses its mandate to govern.We are very clearly in that place where a mob is attempting to overthrow what is left of personal freedom and free speech.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, said Sunday that criminal charges against the people involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election -- including former President Donald Trump -- were not his "principal interest" compared to understanding how the violence unfolded to avoid it being repeated.

@anonamom

What you fail to grasp is the arc of history of the Republic has been to expand constitutional rights for the citizenry. This decision rescinds a constitutional right– the first time in the history of the nation: a right to a freedom-- a freedom of choice – rescinded by be-robed bureaucrats incapable of keeping track of a set of papers no less, yet presume to dictate how to manage the physicality of half population--modern American women. "Hell hath no fury..." The next right will fall a little easier... then the next and the next... all it takes is time, patience and perseverance. Abortion really isn't the issue here- it's crabgrass on the front lawn of a house on fire. This is about the rescinding a constitutional right to a FREEDOM OF CHOICE; to choose how to manage your own body.

Alito is the leaker. And his opinion is hot gas vented out the aft end of his service module. An opinion couched in such ancient Middle Age scribblings as to be fodder for SNL cold open comedy sketches and "holy" laughable. A mouthy, zealous Catholic w/a history of making his POV known, Alito is near the end of his career who threw young clerks under the bus in an act of skullduggery worthy of a 13th century pope from an era he clearly cherishes. He believes he should be CJ, not Roberts. He undercut the CJ's attempts to sway less zealous newbies by leaking his own opinion. It was a devious plan.

Crusading Catholics have infected societies over the centuries- from the crusading days of old to inquisitions to burning witches, torching Joan of Arc, to locking up Galileo to dealings w/Hitler and diddling kiddies. Now a cabal of religious zealots, who clearly lied to their confirmation inquisitors, have poisoned the SCOTUS. That's all this is.

The court is no longer a secular entity. It's a now a political pool of religious zealots hell bent on imposing their views of morality on 333 million citizens. And the damage it has done to itself is truly a tragic turn for America. They've beclowned themselves, eroded respect for it to record lows and torched the tatters of what was once called 'American Exceptionalism.' It will take generations to restore it to any level of institutional respect.

https://www.newsweek.com/confidence-supreme-court-all-time-low-roe-v-wade-decision-1718791

[matt - deplore me if you must]

The Left has had no respect for American Exceptionalism for a generation or more. They are nothing but Marxist Red Guards willing to tear down every institution from within.

And when someone lifts up the rock they rage and scurry back to their ratholes. Only when they can return wearing masks and carrying Molotov cocktails do they come out again.

"Shooting-range owner John Deloca aims a pistol last week in the New York City borough Queens."

Aim? Really? The slide on the gun is back as if locked in a position to twist and remove the barrel elevated well off the center line where one could aim.

The article itself addresses the possibility an increase of the pool of available guns can have an impact on the use of guns in crimes. Well, duh! To bad the article admits the deterrence effect of guns — the point of the damn article — could not be addressed.

In other words, there was no article to write, but they wrote it anyway. No science and no journalism, wrapped together.

"‘There was violence’: Morning Joe shocked by delight Alito took in ‘radical’ ruling taking away abortion rights"

‘MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough was astonished by the “violence” implied by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned abortion rights.

The majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito took a confrontational tone in striking down Roe v. Wade, and the “Morning Joe” host said he and his fellow lawyer friends noticed the delight he seemed to take in the “radical” move.’

Religion and the Founding of the American Republic

This exhibition demonstrates that many of the colonies that in 1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely. That the religious intensity of the original settlers would diminish to some extent over time was perhaps to be expected, but new waves of eighteenth century immigrants brought their own religious fervor across the Atlantic and the nation's first major religious revival in the middle of the eighteenth century injected new vigor into American religion. The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776, and that most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions. The efforts of the Founders of the American nation to define the role of religious faith in public life and the degree to which it could be supported by public officials that was not inconsistent with the revolutionary imperatives of the equality and freedom of all citizens is the central question which this exhibition explores.

PP nd NARAL must be funding the douche again.

As to cannabis & schizophrenia, I believe it triggers psychosis in those who are vulnerable to schizophrenia. It did in my stepson.

The psychosis has to be looked at as both a natural result in some individuals and as the trigger for the onset of schizophrenia; i.e. some people get psychotic on it and recover. Others don't.

There are a number of UK and European scientific papers on the subject. Until recently such research was banned in this country.

[DCSCA]

@Rocco: '...The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776...'

The list of grievances spelled out in the Declaration of Independence makes no reference to any religious slight to insight and fuel the "rebellion--"

From the DoI text:

"The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.' - DoI,. 7/4/1776

[jimmyk]

Rocco, I've been reading Paul Johnson's "History of the American People," and he makes a similar point. He writes about earlier settlements in the 16th century that failed, notably one at Roanoke Island (as it was called). He argues that an important difference between those and the successful 17th century ones was that the earlier efforts were not primarily religiously motivated, but were more to profit from trading with the natives.
