You remember Arte Johnson, don’t you? The comedian who appeared on Rowan and Martin’s “Laugh In” from 1968 to 1973. You know, back in the good ol’ days of tv. His schtick was playing a German officer, cigarette in hand, opining “Verrrry interesting” about something said on the show.
He came to mind this morning when I heard that once again a document had been leaked from the Supreme Court. And once again it concerned an abortion decision. Coincidence? Hmm …
We never did find out who was responsible for the leak of the Dobbs decision before it was announced. Despite a lengthy internal investigation, no one was ever held accountable. Not that we know of, anyway. Does that person still have access to SCOTUS documents and specifically, to those concerning abortion?
Sure, it could just be a coincidence …
Every time I read anything about SCOTUS I am reminded how appalling is the situation up there.
Your topmost judicial group is rotten to the core.
I’m so sorry …
I appreciate the sympathy. The situation is absolutely appalling. When the highest court in the land, the court of last resort for the entire nation, is lost to partisan politics and scandal … a rotten president is a four-year disaster. A court with lifetime appointments is a terrifying unknown.
Verrry true. As in so many other areas, MAGA fervor has undermined the principle of nonpartisanship to the point it may never be retrievable. Of course, it began a few years ago – my answer to the cry of “stop the steal” is “OK, fine, but to do so we have to go back to December 12, 2000.
I had to look it up but that would be when the Supreme Court stopped the recount in Florida and effectively made Bush the winner over Gore. Never should have happened. Never.
yep
Curiouser and curiouser
The Dobbs leak was several months before the end of SCOTUS term and was obviously intentional. This one appears to be a staff error. The current conservative court is playing politics big-time, both with votes and delays. Sad.
“Sad” is putting it nicely. I’ve lost all confidence in this court, a court that will still be in place when you and I are gone.
