to me sure sounds like he has pneumonia
flu+ patient with pneumonia requiring hospitalization gets antibiotics too, but i really doubt its the flu. Prob just pneumonia.
For some reason I figured Alito was more likely to shove off unexpectedly than Thomas
âŚto a morgue?

Whether itâs long covid or whatever, I donât think many 80 y/os get out of a 4-5 day hospital stay and are full of the kind of pep required to do a demanding job, maybe ever.
Will Thomas be the rightâs RBG?
No. As alluded to above, Thomas would not be replaced ASAP because Democrats suck at this.
An odd system where your only political agency is hoping that an old man dies of pneumonia.

yeah that was a nice one
If Thomas died and Biden got a nomination through, whoâd be our best bet for dying and giving us a fifth seat?
Kavanaugh, DUI.

Marsha Blackburn is the dumbest pile of rocks in the entire senate. Also she looks like sheâs on the tail end of a bender at all times

Changed thread title because kind of a big deal and have been so focused on other stuff like Ukraine that I missed it until now
Ah yes, confused Tennesseans are asking the key questions, like:
-
What kinds of sounds is the Constitution supposed to make?
-
What did Connecticut have against Clark Griswold?
-
Why did the people in England make a New London and whatâs that go to do with our Supreme Court?
-
Is an NFIB like the new FBI with less deep state?
-
Why donât these Supreme Court assholes ever ask for permission?
-
Why do they let this Jackson lady keep Constitutional secrets? Doesnât she have a calendar of everything sheâs ever done like our boy Kavanaugh? If she was lifting weights with PJ and Squee, why wonât she tell us???

Why did I turn on CNN? Grassley should just STFU.
Not sure where this belongs, but the most recent Strict Scrutiny podcast had a fascinating discussion of a SCOTUS case involving ICWA - the Indian Child Welfare Act.
The short story is that ICWA is meant to provide guardrails that keep native children with their tribe, rather than being removed via foster or adoption by non-tribal families. In this case, a non-tribal Texas family is suing because they wanted to adopt a native child, but ICWA is standing in the way.
The interesting part is that some heavy hitters have lined up behind that family, including the Gibson Dunn law firm, the Texas Attorney General, and Paul Clement. (Summarized here.) The fascinating thing to me was how broad the consequences of this ruling could be.
The plaintiffs are arguing that ICWA should be overturned because it effectively mandates disparate racial treatment. (The obvious retort is that ICWA is predicated on the idea that tribal membership is a political, not racial, identity.) So if ICWA gets overturned based on it being de facto racial discrimination, that sets the stage for dismantling all existing tribal rights. This includes gaming - about one half of all gaming revenue goes through tribal casinos. (Which is one possible explanation for heavy hitters doing pro bono work in an adoption case.) And if the plaintiffsâ broad argumentâall laws and contracts that privilege Native American tribes violate the Equal Protection Clauseâstands, itâs not hard to imagine that they lose all privileged gaming status, as well as other sovereign rights.
