Anyone got some ideas on this story from 2020?
Aside from everything else, I have a serious problem with someone sitting on the highest court in the land requiring quantum powered brain functions, but having a medical condition that requires medication that slows one's brain functions to prevent the condition from appearing. That is fucked up. We should demand better, irrespective of the other reasons this guy sucks.
I knew when I heard the vote 6-3 Roberts had to have voted our way. We all know damn well he didn’t want to, so…..he’s been threatened or he’s repented. Takes some getting use to doesn’t it?
Yeah, I wondered about that. It's like SCOTUS as a whole suddenly on "cue" changed their appearance.
Sure looks like it doesn’t it?
Yup, it does to an outsider like me
Don't get carried away yet. I can explain this in a way that he's the same asshat he's always been. Not that I'm right. But this isn't conclusive evidence anything has changed.
After the leak, would a dickhead like Roberts who is always concerned with the appearance of the court thing that such a decision as Alito wrote would make the court look good if it was 5-4? No. Hell to the no. He joined the majority to avoid the appearance the court is cucked. And he did not join the court in abrogating Roe. He only concurred in judgment. Not reasoning. And said he would not overturn Roe. Too bad for him, 5 others thought differently.
I think the same consideration was made in the NY gun case. And joining kavanaugh's concurrence where they make sure to tell everyone what this case does NOT hold or opine on is his way of trying to narrow down the impact. Even though I'd argue that whatever the hell Kavanaugh said in the concurrence that the majority didn't hold or opine on was definitely held or opined on in the majority opinion.
