Well, that makes sense. I am un-jabbed (at least for china virus), and I regularly speed, run red lights, etc.*

*I go to work at 6AM; there is little traffic at that hour. I refuse to stop for a certain light on the way that grants green arrows to left turns, but makes right turns wait another cycle.

This is actually most likely a case of lying via statistics. Like when murders are down 50% in November because the article comes out November 10th.

If Mother Jones or CNN or Alex Jones posted about something on the SCOTUS docket, it could be easily disproven. That said, you're getting a story about a legal proceeding from a law professor whose bona fides are listed at the bottom of the story.

* The writer is a Professor of Law at the Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law in Fort Lauderdale where he teaches Constitutional Law. For faculty bio: https://www.law.nova.edu/faculty/ful...a-timothy.html

edit--but I get it. For the last six years the right has said, "this time they're all going down!", just like the left is saying, "this time Trump is going to jail!""

Democrat House Speaker Arrested for Sex Trafficking

Hunt, a lifelong Democrat, voted for a 2011 bill that he is charged under.

The Democrat is one of eight men cited by the Human Trafficking Unit of the Portland Police in April. Officers had set up a sting operation using online decoys on known human trafficking websites – and Hunt contacted them to arrange payment for sexual acts, according to the Portland Tribune.

California cuts payments to homeowners for solar panels feeding energy back to the grid

  • The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday passed a proposal that will reduce compensation provided to households for the surplus electricity their rooftop solar panels contribute to the electric grid.
  • Today’s unanimous vote by the five-member commission was monitored across the country, since California is widely viewed as a leader in the renewable energy buildout.
  • More than 1.5 million homes, businesses and other utility customers in California have rooftop solar panels.
a good ol bait and switch. just but a $60,000 EV and charge it with $60,000 solar panels.

This is especially funny when you consider in 2020 Cali mandated certain new builds had to add solar. Believe that is planned to ramp up even more in 2023..

This is the paragraph that stands out for me;

"It seems astounding that the Court would wade into such waters two years to the day after the Congressional vote to install Joe Biden as President. But these are not normal times. Democrats may well push legislation in this month’s lame duck session of Congress to impose term limits and a mandatory retirement age for Justices, and thereby open the door to packing the Court. Such a course would seem to be clear violations of Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution which provides that Justices “shall hold their Offices during good Behavior.” In addition to such institutional threats to the Supreme Court, several Justices and their families have been living under constant threats to their personal security since the overturning of Roe v. Wade."

I generally think 2 to 3 of the six "right" SCOTUS judges as pantywaists. But the other two branches have REALLY been screwing up lately. One is getting ready to pack the court, and twists legislative rules until they're unrecognizable. The other declines to uphold laws on the books, allowing open borders and billion dollar riots with zero consequences. I know it's a dream-world, but SCOTUS could bitch-slap them January 6th.
