Great video. I imagine that the beginning of this story was the end of life for the supposed art looter, and an estate clean out.
A long time ago a small group of skiers and myself rented a condo at Vail, CO for a week. There was a TV in the condo and only three channels worked. One of the channels was a local Vail cable access operation and one of their pieces was about the Vail garbage men.
Inside the garbage man’s home was a room with a whole wall of smaller color TV’s. Perhaps 20 or more. These were all purchased and left behind at the end somebody’s vacation. Then there was a close-up shot of the man’s wife’s hands. I imagine that she did the following only for the shot, but she had about 16 or 20 diamond rings on her fingers. These were probably someone’s engagement or wedding rings from a relationship that blew up in Vail and were tossed into a garbage can.

Not them.

I’m sure Hunter can encourage them to transition to Teslas (gotta keep the Big Guy’s push for EVs rolling along).
My goodness, I thought Neo’s commenters would be all excited about the EPA’s loss in the SC today. I’m excited. It could have been more sweeping, but the Court held that Congress did not authorize the EPA to regulate “greenhouse gases.” Almost heaven, West Virginia.
I think I entered a time warp yesterday. Wife wanted to stop at ikea to look for a chair for our nephew’s girl. Signs on the door stating “Highly recommended that all persons wear masks!” with the usual cartoon with the person with a mask on. We go inside, and every employee has an N95 mask on. Not a single customer does of course. Every 5 minutes there’s a PA announcement about “ikea wants to keep everyone safe, please wear a mask and keep at least 8 feet from everyone else.” I started to chuckle at about the 3rd announcement and a guy next to me, said, “I guess no one told them it’s over.” Very weird for Florida nowadays.
Yes, Kate, good news on the EPA ruling, bad news on the border ruling, but looks like a high percentage hitting record lately for SCOTUS
I figured Kate would pick it up. That sounds very nice that they’ve put some limit on regulatory overreach. And it’s a massively important industry (energy). Though I will mention that the SC had a decision over a decade ago, that declared CO2 a pollutant subject to regulation. It’s the only pollutant where if you eliminated it from earth all life would cease to exist (excluding archaea).
Nice John Denver reference Kate.

Two articles on inflation. The first describes two types, “true inflation” and “demand inflation.” I think the latter is real or true as well, and I’m not sure it is all that transitory either.
About time warps–the mask fetish is alive and well in the local veterinary community. My male cat needed surgery in mid-June to remove a growth on his back right leg (which fortunately turned out to be benign, and he’s a happy camper now), and we had to go through the nonsense of masking up to take him into the animal hospital and pick him up there later that afternoon. Interestingly, the masked staff members asked me to remove my mask when it came time to pay the bill so that they could check my face against the mug shot on my driver’s license. I was tactless enough to comment that for all they knew, that temporary unmasking was going to expose them all to the Fauci flu. They unhappily admitted that they knew the requirement is stupid, but it’s evidently mandated by the state. I wish we could clone your governor.
As for the SCOTUS batting average: it’s a baseball cliche that nobody bats 1.000. I’ll take what we’ve got so far.
I haven’t looked at the border ruling in much detail, but basically it says, I think, that immigration management is an executive function, and this is true. It does mean that a “remain in Mexico” policy could be reinstated in 2025 following the inauguration of a Republican president — if we have a country left by then.
Something to look forward to. The Supreme Court has accepted a North Carolina case challenging the state court’s establishing its own congressional district map instead of the one passed by the legislature.
I actually had to use a mask about 6 weeks ago. It might have been the eye exam, but I must have blocked it from my memory. A couple weeks ago I finally removed the folded mask I have been carrying in my pocket since the beginning. Here’s wishing Anthony Fauci a speedy recovery. (Not!)
TommyJay, apparently Fauci is finding that his quadruple-vaxxed state is making him perhaps more vulnerable to the virus, rather than less, and the Paxlovid treatment isn’t working well. I won’t know until I get the virus whether having had only the first two shots, last one in March 2021, will likewise cause me to be more susceptible, or if after fifteen months the effect is gone.
Good win today for democracy and the Rule of Law in the EPA case. But it is too late. Many utilities have already voluntarily adopted net carbon zero policies which will BK America.
If the utilities go under because they didn’t fight, the power companies that replace them will know not to follow that prior craven example IMO.
I seriously doubt that the elites and the regulators have the power to starve 300,000,000 Americans. No power, no fossil fuels, lots of people will die. Gina McCarthy and Grandholm can take that diet first.
The EPA ruling is good news, but we all know it will be routinely ignored during democratic administrations which are well aware that legal challenges can take years to culminate while the damage accumulates.
Ancient bust could be that of Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi
“Six more women have come forward saying that Trump grabbed their steering wheels…”
Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and abortion providers filed suit to stymie the law, arguing that it violated the state’s constitution.
Leon County Judge John C. Cooper handed down his ruling from the bench after two days of arguments and said he would issue a written injunction.
State officials are expected to fight the decision. […]
Their legal challenge leaned on a 1980 amendment that guaranteed a broad right to privacy. The state Supreme Court previously interpreted those rights to include access to abortion.
It looks like SCOTUS, realizing that “Biden” has decided IT is the enemy and must be dealt with AS SOON and as effectively AS POSSIBLE, has taken the gloves off.
And it looks like “Biden” understands that “he” must nip this last bastion of true American resistance in the bud, if “he” is to succeed in “his” plans to destroy the country as we know it….
“Biden Announces Support For Ending The Filibuster To Pass Pro-Abortion Legislation”— https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-announces-support-ending-filibuster-pass-pro-abortion-legislation
…except that if “he” succeeds with this repellant “end around”, “he” will NOT STOP with abortion.
IOW, the next step is packing the court.
(That’s right, the Supreme Court, with Clarence Thomas riding pillion, is a BASTION of WHITE SUPREMACY and must be dealt with with NO MERCY.)
except, manchin and sinema aren’t game for this, they gave one shot with jackson, no returns, no exchanges,
if I read the texas decision right, it’s remanded back to the 5th circuit, so no harm no fowl relatively speaking,
I don’t think Manchin or Sinema give a rat’s ass what Biden thinks on this.
They will decide what they will decide for their own reasons. If they decide to end the filibuster and such a law passes, the question is whether Congress has the power to pass it (in other word, can the federal government do this?), and I think it will be SCOTUS that decides that. I believe the proper avenue for a national abortion law of any kind is the amendment route, but I’m not on SCOTUS.
Of course, if the Democrats lose control of Congress in November, they may regret nuking the filibuster.
if so it was a very satisfactory term, except for the mccloskey’s but you can’t win um all,
Manchin, if the report is accurate, has already stated that he feels betrayed by Kavanaugh’s and Gorsuch’s vote on RvW.
(So, I believe, did Collins, for that matter. Not sure about Sinema, but she seems to hold her cards close…)
It matters not to (at least) these two that other pundits/analysts defend the two justices mentioned.
Which might raise the question: How will Manchin respond? How hurt, or enraged, might he be? OTOH, I could be wrong but I cannot believe that pro-choice is a popular stance in WV.
(Actually, what really interested me was Dershowitz’s take on what he considered an unjustifiably activist SCOTUS decision—based on DOBBS (i.e., if I understood him correctly)…even though he freely admitted that RvW was bad law. IOW, he felt that RvW would have been struck down eventually—I’m personally not persuaded by this certainty of his—but that THIS was not the right, or relevant, case for that. Talk about walking a fine line—he’s not going to make ANYONE happy with that analysis… Not sure what Turley said about it, so if anyone can bring it up….TIA…)
I would love to see conservative legal foundations put up challenges to all sorts of administrative agencies based on the gun rights and Roe rulings using the EPA ruling as a springboard. What right does the SEC have to require “environmental” policies from publicly held companies? How can banks refuse business from companies pursuing manufacture and distribution of legal products?
why are they farking blood thirsty, it’s like every analyst is sweeney todd
I should have added, though I may be way off base here, that I understood “Biden”‘s remark as a THREAT to unleash an E.O. WRT the filibuster issue.
Is there anything to prevent “him” from doing this?
Barry Meislin, Turley has called Robert’s concurrence in Dobbs “the ultimate call of an incrementalist detached from the underlying constitutional interpretation.”
A president can’t dictate Senate rules by executive order. The Senate makes its rules. They can adopt or reject his suggestions.
Thanks much, Kate.
In plain English, should one understand that Turley is extremely unimpressed with Roberts’s waffling?
If so, then he would seem to be diametrically opposed to Dershowitz, who, once again if I understood him correctly, agreed wholeheartedly with Roberts’s perfectly nuanced(?)—pace D.—position.
(For better or worse, I find that difference of views (Libertarian vs. Liberal?)—if that’s what it is—absolutely fascinating….)
TommyJay, apparently Fauci is finding that his quadruple-vaxxed state is making him perhaps more vulnerable to the virus, rather than less, and the Paxlovid treatment isn’t working well. — Kate
Yes, I knew that he had taken all the vaxxes and Plaxovid and I have read some material about increased vulnerability. I have no confidence on either side of these stories other than the fact that the Pfizer vaxxes they’ve been shilling are not effective. Fauci’s travails seem like karma.
I got off the phone with a local city official today who recently got back from a family vacation and enroute from the Cayman’s to Cancun they all got tested in Florida and all tested positive and also got quarantined for 7 days. They all had the same very mild symptoms. However, the 7 year old had been vaxxed and the 5 year old hadn’t. Same results. One data point.
TommyJay; Kate:
I’ve dealt before, many times, with assertions that vaccinated people are more susceptible. I have no interest in going over the details once again. Such assertions are based on a poor understanding of statistics.
However, it certainly is true that vaccinated people get COVID. It is also true that they are significantly less likely to die of it or to get very severe cases. There are all sorts of people online purporting to prove otherwise, but they are twisting statistics and/or misunderstanding them.
Fauci is 81 years old. He’s in a higher risk group because of that. He had a very mild case and took an antiviral, then was better and tested negative, then tested positive again with worse symptoms but not very seriously ill, took the antiviral again, and apparently is doing well again.
Neo, I don’t think I agree with you, but in any case, although I am 73 I am in good health and do not fear to die from the less-lethal varieties now circulating.
Barry Meislin:
I’ve read neitherTurley nor Dershowitz on this, but I actually think that Roberts’ opinion is correct here. It is within Biden’s power to do this in terms of the statute he’s following, although I think it’s a very wrong thing for him to do.
If Congress wants to limit him they should pass another law.
Also, when Trump was in power, SCOTUS made a similar decision re his travel ban, and Roberts wrote the majority opinion. I don’t recall all the details, but to me that decision in favor of Trump and today’s decision in favor of Biden seem consistent with each other.
