It's good to hear your sage wisdom as usual, thank you.
The Coach was 6/3 in our favor.
Bannon says 6 or 7 are coming down today.
Is it true the Harvard/A.A. case has been pushed back to the fall? Thanks in advance.
LS: Yes. I’m almost sure it was Sotomayor’s clerk ...
Matt Wolking spotted the following linkage and posted a Twitter Tweet about it on May 2:
"A person called Amit Jain clerks for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. As a Yale student, Jain blasted Yale for supporting Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. Jain was quoted in a 2017 Politico piece by Josh Gerstein. Today, Gerstein published the draft SCOTUS opinion on Roe."
If you read Amit Jain's "micro biography," it reads like a recipe for "How To Turn A Bright, Malleable Immigrant From India Into a Left-Wing Lunatic." As a law student, he clerked for various "projects" that are near and dear to the shriveled hearts of the socialist left: eliminating cash bonds for violent felons, etc.
I’ve been doing some research on Amit Jain. He appears to be the type of guy who just can’t keep his mouth shut when he perceives some type of “injustice” (i.e., the agenda of the lunatic left-wing fringe is getting blocked in some way).
He writes long, single spaced letters to state legislatures whenever they’re thinking about passing some new law that he sees as an “injustice.”
Before going to law school, he was a middle school math teacher in Boston. (I’m sure the Boston teachers’ union was very influential during this formative period.)
As a law student at Yale, he represented teenage gang members in the New Haven juvenile courts through Yale’s Juvenile Justice Clinic; taught constitutional law to high school students in New Haven (always with a high-velocity left-wing spin); and interned with the Adolescent Defense Project at the Bronx Defenders (which represents teenage gang members).
Prior to joining The Bronx Defenders, he clerked for Judge Diana Gribbon Motz (a Bill Clinton nominee) on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In law school, Amit was also a member of the Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic (which tries to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants), and the Housing Clinic (which tries to prevent the eviction of illegal immigrants when they don’t pay their rent).
Notice a pattern here?
Roberts was a LOSER a LONG TIME before this.
I have to go spend a few days in the CA Bay Area soon. I will canoe the streets on waves of tears.
I wonder, sometimes, why it is so difficult for these justices to determine whether something is constitutional or not. The question before SCOTUS was whether abortion was enumerated as a right in the Constitution.
Take fifteen minutes, maybe half an hour to actually read the Constitution - then they’ll have their easy answer . . .
“Since 2004, the U.S. has lost more than 2,000 newspapers”
Unfortunate, but it’s due largely to the cheapness of TV and internet news broadcasting as compared to printing and delivering paper.
Someone who worked for a TV station said local TV news was dying because of declining viewership. The half-hour local news shows around here are too long — babbling and dramatization in the weather forcasts, repetitions of news that’s covered national broadcasts, titillating but not local news. Not to mention the woke ingredients that are mixed in.
Gets better: the Fifth Circuit will hear Biteme’s appeal on the DACA case (was struck down when Trump did it, but only for “administrative” reasons; then a judge struck it down, and Biteme appealed).
The panel is three very solid conservatives, one a Trump pick to the 5th, another a Thomas clerk, and the third was filibustered by SpewMore til the 2005 “Gang of 14” deal.
Zen Master, my court guy, says “DACA is dead!”
if so, they did a piss poor job of it.
I may have misunderstood, but I thought you said there might be a major decision rolling back affirmative action precedent.
In terms of broad ramifications in U.S. law, that would be huge.
Yes, this is coming. Apparently it got pushed back to the fall. But it’s coming. Friday expect the EPA decision.
