Hochul picks another black man, Rep. Anthony Delgado to be her Lieutenant Governor after the previous one resigned due to his corruption spilling out into the open. Incidentally, this actually removes a Democratic incumbent from a seat that, while slightly Republican-leaning, might have been possible for them to hold onto if they had kept their guy there.
Given how he fared against Cuomo, this is apparently Marc Molinaro's time, as he's running for that seat in NY-19.
 
Roberts has confirmed the authenticity of the draft and ordered an investigation. He emphasizes that the contents of the draft are not the final opinion/s of the Court or of any Justice.

Its so obvious he is in ultra damage control mode since yesterday since the first place he went to for a statement was CNN, saying "I-i-it wasn't me who voted yes". Roberts should transition already for how much of a flailing vagina he has been for his entire tenure.
 
It is not done through email. They have a sort of internal server that is only accessible to SCOTUS judges and their clerks. Rather secure,
Assuming what the sysadmin subcontracted to the military I know has told me holds true to other major gov systems, they’ll have a closed intranet that isn’t connected to anything and is hardened against things. They might not be allowed to keep their phones on their person.

The only thing that makes sense is a clerk deliberately pulling this.
 
They'd have to sell that someone and the person they're set to replace can sit at the same time, just to have a hung vote on a court specifically sized to prevent exactly that, on a piece of legislation that there's several other ways to resolve more solidly.

They've confirmed her as his replacement. Changing that in post is going to be a hard sell at the best of times. Changing that in post just to keep a bad situation going is going to be incredibly difficult.
Constitution doesn't have "replacement Judge." Just... judge. They confirmed her. If he decides not to retire, they have 10 SCOTUS judges, a 5-5 split. And a 5-5 split defaults to status quo.

Oh Great Roberts gonna blackmail someone to flip now.
 
Perhaps, but that probably isn't a net good thing for them. The more they drain their coffers, the slower they are to fill them back up. If their donors dig too deep and damage their own positions in a panic now, it'll be even worse come 2024.
Please remember that their positions are already damaged from 2020.
 
Gerstein's usual beat is NSA security state stuff. So it doubly doesn't make sense for him to be the writer on this unless (1) it was his previous connection to Amit Jain, or (2) it actually was a data breach of some sort. I still lean towards (1) given Occam's Razor.

NEW COPE JUST DROPPED (It's trending on twitter as "They lied.")
"Keg Kavanaugh"? That's not even an insult. It makes him sound awesome. I'd love to have had that nickname in college.
 
It sounds like it will be a 5-1-3 opinion. If Roberts had voted with the conservatives, he would insist on writing the opinion himself to make it ultracuck narrow. Instead, Alito is getting to flex, which means he is leading the conservative wing in killing it. Roberts will concur but just in support of the 15-week ban in Mississippi and not to flip Roe. Others have pointed out he may want Alito to tone down some of his rhetoric in the final draft, but Alito says nothing wrong. It's just a complete dismantling of the logic of Roe and explains at great length why it should never have happened.

'To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed.’

You want to know how you prevent this situation from undermining the integrity of your operations, Johnny?

1.) Fully ignore the nuclear levels of coping/seething/dilating, and push ahead with the ruling as we know it totally stands. Do not waver in the face of outside pressure.
2.) Find the leaker(s) and ruin them. Bury them financially and personally via litigation. Professionally, make it not only impossible for them to work in any field that’s within a mile of the legal industry, but poison their image to the point where even CNN and MSNBC won’t want to touch them for a lucrative commentator gig. Be relentless and make a total example out of them to discourage this from ever happening again.
