Today is the first Monday in October, which causes certain legal wonks to nerd out on the traditional first day of the Supreme Court's term.
First up will be the eight members on the bench, as Justice Kavanaugh may have had a few two many brewskis close up, and caught Covid and will not be in Court. However this year will see the return of in court arguments and masks.
Up this year on the docket is Mississippi's challenge to Roe v. Wade ("y'all got it wrong"). Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization 19-1392. Interestingly, the Court last heard in person arguments 18 months ago. The case was a challenge to a Louisiana law that restricted abortions. A 5 justice majority, including Justice Ginsberg and CJ Roberts, struck down the law. A lot has changed since then.

There is a gun case - NY State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, that examines the constitutionality of NY State's strict regulations on the carrying of guns outside of the home. There is a Guantanamo case about whether a detainee can get information on two CIA officers who tortured him (US v. Abu Zudaydah); and there are two death penalty cases. In US v. Tsarnaev, the Court will review the second circuit's decision tossing the death penalty in the Boston Marathon Bomber's case. In Ramiez v Collier the Court will hear the request of Texas death row inmate John Ramirez that his pastor be allowed to touch him while he is being executed. Really? This is what the Court thinks they need to devote time to?
But it all comes down to Mississippi and the challenge to Roe. That is what the 2021- 2022 term will be forever known for.
And we will be watching.

I'll give you some sophisticated Supreme Court analysis for the upcoming term. Fetuses and corporations are human beings, criminals are not human beings, if you're a loser that can't jump 10 hurdles to vote don't come crying to us, "socialism" is unconstitutional, frankly if the press doesn't stop saying we're a bunch of political hacks we may rethink that whole freedom of press thing, when in doubt just default to what Mitch McConnell wants he got us all here after all. Oh you want a cite? 69 Because Fuck You Thats Why 69. Thanks for coming to my talk grab a gun from the free gun table on the way out.
These misdemeanor judges like Seraphin and Martinez that refuse to have a chat or call private attorneys out of turn need to go. My cases were set for 11 am and were not called by the court's "Lunch Break." Told everyone to come back at 1. Another hour later and she still hasn't called my cases. Ridiculous
The Supreme Court is interesting, BUT:
I feel bad for Sir Kenneth W. His heart was broken while on his humanitarian trip to Milan and Minsk. Just like the movie “Rochelle, Rochelle”.
Just a heartbreaking ending.
I urge Meek Robinette, Stanley Tucci … and other blog readers to express their concern for this wonderful man - now a victim - to be somehow invited back into the NFL Survivor Pool?
Gotta love Seraphin.
I went to see George Carlin in concert once. He got on stage about 45 mins late and the crowd was getting restless. He finally gets on stage and gives an "apology" by saying,
"Well, I was going to come on stage and apologize for being late. But then I thought, you're all here for me. And I'm here for me. But no one is here for you. So fuck you." Crowd cheered. Classic Carlin.
Unfortunatley Seraphin, you're no George Carlin. So quit being so in love with yourself and dont make fellow members of the bar wait for you to grace them.
You losers are spoiled. Calling out of turn? Try waiting your turn. You sit in front of monitors all day going in and out of virtual courtrooms and bitch because you can't get away fast enough. Most of the cases are pro se and they don't need to be waiting, they're not paid to but you are. So get over it and get a life.
1:43 PM, I can give you some arrogance/pushiness/obnoxoius lessons. County court, Felony Court, Federal Court...if you need to get called I can get it done. Tricks of the trade baby!
I suspect that since Roe was based on science that the Court will uphold any restriction on abortion once the fetus is viable which has changed quite a bit since Roe was handed down. That way Roe stays. Among other reasons why this makes sense is that supposedly 40 percent of all aborted fetuses are Black. Seems like a form of genocide to me.
