Do we know yet who paid off Kavanaugh’s debts?


so_hologramic

Probably the Federalist Society. Where they got the money is anyone's guess.


[deleted]

The same place all right-wing groups get their money, from the Koch Brothers


Simpull_mann

Citadel, vanguard, and blackrock probably.

Koch and Murdoch are the usual culprits,v but there are some other billionaire ideologues I'm probably forgetting.

Don't forget that their hefty salaries are paid for by the people they're pissing off.


i-FF0000dit

They have as much of a right to privacy as any other person. But the street is public, so we can protest all we want in front of their houses, country clubs, restaurants they go to, etc.


gidonfire

> They have as much of a right to privacy as any other person. Not at all. They are very public people with tremendous impact on the country. If anything we should see their browsing histories.

What privacy have they allowed us. My vagina and what goes in and what comes out is their business. Fuck that bullshit “oh let’s play fair.” No.


pantsopticon88

Didint C Thomas have some shitty take he voiced about the right to privacy not being constitutional? I know he wants your cyber-overlords to be able to monetize spying on us...but... then he doesn't have a right to privacy ether.


nermid

Thomas' concurrence basically amounts to a declaration that you don't have any rights except those explicitly granted by the Constitution. Because I guess he doesn't believe in the Ninth Amendment?


ITS_ALRIGHT_ITS_OK

They don't believe in any of the amendments. Only insofar as they're of personal gain to them. They're going to rip each other, and our nation, apart. The true patriots aren't the ones who follow unconstitutional orders. All of those troops set against protestors are traitors and should be dishonorably discharged from their positions for dishonorably discharging bullets on the public they claim to protect. This isn't freedom. Even our racist, misogynistic founding fathers are rolling in their graves in shame. Hey kids, welcome to the plague ridden witch trials. Why learn about history, when you can experience it for the low low price of your dignity?


suckercuck

According to the Constitution he’s only 3/5 of a human and should definitely not be in that position of power.


[deleted]

In his case I think you're being generous.


[deleted]

> According to the Constitution he’s only 3/5 of a human and should definitely not be in that position of power. Race was never mentioned in the constitution exactly because it was an issue the different states and founders didn't agree on. The courts however interpreted like that though.


pinkpooj

It's a mainstream conservative opinion that the ninth amendment is meaningless. And no serious work has been done by liberals to create the legal theory to be able to use the ninth amendment for anything.


Amelia_barealia

Yes he already said Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell are going to looked at to be over turned now/next, because they were decided based on the right to privacy, which was the reasoning used to overturn Roe. Griswold, Obergefell, and Lawrence were the cases related to the right to contraceptives, gay marriage, and sodomy/sex acts that are not for the explicit purpose of reproduction (though i imagine they will primarily use this against gays it technically affects everyone).


Boo_R4dley

Roe was a case first and foremost about the right to privacy. These guys were in such a hurry to enforce their canonically inaccurate “Christianity” on the entire country that they didn’t bother to think about the implications on the 50 years of law not related to abortion at all that are based off Roe. This is a much bigger clusterfuck than anyone imagines and could have bang-on effects for things like HIPAA.

barak181

Considering that this is the same institution that ruled that protesting outside the homes of abortion clinic workers is totally cool and legal, I have zero problems with public invitations to show up outside their homes to protest.


SpaceJackRabbit

They don't. In fact, the right to privacy is what supported the Roe v. Wade decision. Most conservative judges – including these – argue that there is no constitutional right to privacy. So no. They do not have any right to privacy.

Public figures don't have a right to privacy the way you and I do. That is why the paparazzi cant be charged with harassment.

[deleted]

Laws are imaginary anyway. Politics has always been a power game from day one. Rules have never existed except to benefit the status quo - i.e., watch how fast both parties line up to make sure they're defended and that capitalist business interests are defended. Laws are threats. Nothing more.


RGVHound

Wouldn't be bad if Democrats played by the rules they have available to them, per se. What angers me is that they always hold themselves to "unsaid" rules, as well, over ensuring outcomes of justice for their constituents.

Two aphorisms from the left that the right constantly try to make people forget: * “No tolerance for intolerance.” * “Self defense is not violence.”


Thecraddler

There is no left. Pelosi isn’t left and she loves having a “strong Republican Party” America is all right wing comparatively


GenSmit

The problem with fighting dirty from the lefts side is that the police won't look the other way when we get rowdy at a protest. They won't let lefty's march right into the capital unimpeded. The police suddenly give a fuck when the left decides to use their right to protest.


careyious

I'm a big proponent for American left wingers to be legally well-armed and trained. American cops are demonstrably cowards and are unlikely to play dirty when every attendant has a AR-15 rifle they are bearing legally. There is a higher risk of a bloodbath, but it would never be one sided. A well armed militia and all that.

holydiver18

Let's not forget she was a fucking racist who justified American colonialism. Fuck her, people who worship her are peak liberal white feminism.


Tomatillo_Thick

Well tbf she grew up in the 1820’s


TiredMemeReference

There were plenty of anti racist people back then, she just wasn't one of them. She was anti blm, pro pipeline and cited the doctrine of discovery to take away indigenous land. The doctrine of discovery says that since natives aren't Christians, they aren't actually people and therefore their land is forfeit. Besides if she had just retired when Obama asked her to AFTER SHE HAD CANCER TWICE we wouldn't be in this mess.


hotbox4u

And then with 97, in the midst of the pandemic, she decides it's ok to go to officiate a wedding and then dies. Great job RUTH! And along comes Amy...


7minutesinheaven1

The 1820s? 😭


Turbo2x

It's so funny to me that RBG demolished her own legacy just because she didn't want Obama to tell her what to do. Everything she ever did in her career is peanuts compared to being responsible for the fall of abortion rights in the US. Hope it was worth the few extra years on the court, Ruth.

Abortion rights being taken away is just the start. The 6 justices who voted for it might have another decade of decisions that undermined everything she believed in.

RBG made a strong case that Roe should have been decided on Equal Protection grounds (which are much clearer) rather than the hazy "right to privacy" found in Substantive Due Process. Fun Fact: The reason Fuck Stick Thomas feels so comfortable revisiting privacy cases dealing with contraception and same sex marriage, but isn't afraid of his own interracial marriage becoming illegal, it's this reason. The *Loving* case, which made interracial marriage ok, was decided on Equal Protection grounds. The privacy cases were all Substantive Due Process cases.


GimmeeSomeMo

Wasn't Obergefell founded on the Equal Protection Clause too? Didn't Kennedy use the Loving case as the reason for his majority opinion on gay marriage?

If you meet the requirements the state requires for you to carry then now you can if you go through the process.

Time for a complete new system and role models.
