A brisk 54 out right now. Too chilly to open the windows down here yet.
Currently 65° and beautiful. Commute day for me.
Enjoy the masses.

Boy, that Joe deal really takes me back. I believe that was the first deal I ever purchased at CF.
That's interesting. Not sure I know what mine is but certain it preexisted Diesel or Nub.

Today would have been my parents' 64th wedding anniversary. After 7 years, I'd like to think they're celebrating together again this year. May they both rest in peace.

At the very least, they're celebrating in your memory, and I think that counts for something.

Permit me to do a little political analysis. I promise I will NOT go into ethics or morality.

The SCOTUS decision striking down Roe v Wade, in the long run, is actually a win for abortion rights supporters. I read the decision, and it all but telegraphs this: "Pass federal legislation. If that legislation is challenged here, we will reiterate that the Supreme Court is staying out of it unless it expressly contradicts the constitution."

There is nothing in the constitution that legislation to legalize abortion at the Federal level is going to contradict. The closest you could get would be the Fifth Amendment, and certainly someone will try to challenge legalized abortion on that grounds. But it won't work, for a very simple reason - regardless of when life begins, citizenship - and constitutional rights - begin at birth, and end at death. And there is no Supreme Court that is going to elevate the rights of a fetus over the rights of a pregnant woman. I know that Pro-Choice activists are screaming this is what just happened, but it isn't. Read the decision. This case simply says the Supreme Court is not going to extrapolate rights that aren't defined in the constitution. If you want to put rights into the constitution, you have to do it by the amendment process.

This isn't even a state-rights issue. If pro-abortion forces get legislation through Congress - and mark my words they will - the very logic in this decision that struck down Roe will have to be applied to say the legislation is constitutional. There is nothing in the constitution that says there is a right to an abortion, and by the same token there is nothing in the constitution that can be construed to proscribe abortion. So, pass Federal legislation and get a president to sign it, and the discussion, from a legal standpoint, is effectively over, under the 10th Amendment and the 14th Amendment. And then, if you really want to establish that abortion is a civil right, amend the constitution.

Roe tried to make a 14th Amendment case to invalidate state laws. It was a weak argument, and I've talked to any number of pro-choice lawyers (we have a bunch of them at WADOH) and even they say it was weak. But an activist court endorsed it.

No matter how one feels about the Roberts court, when you get down to the details, this court handed abortion-rights supporters a huge win. The court has advertised that they will not oppose Federal abortion legislation.

This is just political and legal analysis. I'm not taking any ethical stance here. That would be a discussion for another time, and probably not here. All I'm saying is this decision is not the win that anti-abortion forces wished for, and it is not the disaster that pro-abortion forces say it is. Quite the opposite.

There is now a freshly-paved highway and the political will to establish legalized abortion at the Federal level, and the Religious Right will have zero recourse to stop it. Some states will try to make a 10th Amendment case against it, but it will fail. The Supreme Court has taken itself out of that war.
Interesting late night analysis Mr. Raz.  Overall I agree with your analysis of the decision from a legal perspective, but not so much for the "backdoor win" scenario.  That would require congress to do something, which they are generally unable to do.  Politicians are just as happy to keep this issue up in the air so they can make promises over and over in each election cycle.  If this were put to a popular vote, it would have been decided long ago,

In any case, while this plays out, there is going to be a lot of collateral damage.

Boy, that Joe deal really takes me back. I believe that was the first deal I ever purchased at CF.
That's interesting. Not sure I know what mine is but certain it preexisted Diesel or Nub.
I can't remember my first...does that make me a bad person?

I'm not even sure why I remember that specifically, but it definitely stuck with me.

Today is Tuesday, June 28, the 179th day of 2022. There are 186 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlights in History:

On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) was signed in France, ending the First World War.

On this date:

In 1838, Britain’s Queen Victoria was crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1863, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Maj. Gen. George G. Meade the new commander of the Army of the Potomac, following the resignation of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker.

In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were shot to death in Sarajevo (sah-ruh-YAY’-voh) by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip (gavh-REE’-loh PREEN’-seep) — an act that sparked World War I.

In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles (mar-SAY’), France.

In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Alien Registration Act, also known as the Smith Act, which required adult foreigners residing in the U.S. to be registered and fingerprinted.

In 1950, North Korean forces captured Seoul (sohl), the capital of South Korea.

In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke (BAH’-kee), a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton became the first chief executive in U.S. history to set up a personal legal defense fund and ask Americans to contribute to it.

In 2000, seven months after he was cast adrift in the Florida Straits, Elian Gonzalez was returned to his native Cuba.

In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that Americans had the right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they lived.

In 2013, the four plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned California’s same-sex marriage ban tied the knot, just hours after a federal appeals court freed gay couples to obtain marriage licenses in the state for the first time in 4 1/2 years.

In 2019, avowed white supremacist James Alex Fields, who deliberately drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a young woman and injuring dozens, apologized to his victims before being sentenced to life in prison on federal hate crime charges.
