THE END IS NEAR AND FOR SOME HERE

The end is near for the current Supreme Court term   (what did you think we were referring to ?) and the final decisions will be released at ten AM. Then as is custom, all the justices will leave the Court under heavy security and splash and frolic in the now green Lincoln memorial reflecting pool, showing the public the congeniality of the court despite the deep splits in the decisions. Social media and prediction markets are abuzz wondering and betting if Sotomayor will dunk Alito into the pool's beautiful green waters?  Then they will scatter for the summer recess. 

The end is here for Germany, the Netherlands, and most heartbreakingly the Japanese soccer team on the world cup pitch.  If you're keeping score of Rumpole's world cup bets, yesterday we were a solid 0 for 3, losing all our bets, and canceling our order of wagyu beef patties for the Fourth of July burger we have planned.  Back to Publix's good ol' 80-20 mix of ground beef for us unless we can rebound with a big USA bet on Wednesday.  Thank goodness for Applied Materials rocket-like run lately. At least we can now pay the mortgage on our vacation home. 

With the 14th Amendment viability up for grabs, we will do our best to update the blog, pending the efficiency of some of Miami's best criminal court judges this morning. 

Where's the best watch parties for the USA match Wednesday? 

And are we playing Bosnia AND Herzegovina   or Bosnia/Herzegovina? 

So is it 2 against 1 or 1v 1?
