    I've grown to loathe Totenberg. News on SCOTUS, with a healthy dose of spin, from National Communistic Radio...

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      @Jolly said in The New Term:

      https://www.npr.org/2022/10/03/1126041958/supreme-court-new-term

      a tumultuous term

      a second potentially stormy term

      sustained and dramatic turn to the right

      overturning of a half century of precedents

      it finds its approval ratings plummeting

      And that's in the first two paragraphs.

      The starkest question is whether the previous decisions were grievously wrong, the same rationale the court majority used last term in overturning Roe v. Wade.

      Good, now do Plessy.

      Since 2013, the court has struck down or neutered key provisions of the landmark 1965 law

      "Neutered." Nice.

      It's a shame that Ginsburg isn't around to proofread Totenberg's screed.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
