Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
The last Mel Gibson movie that I'm pretty sure I saw was 1999's Payback. I may have caught bits of Signs but I've definitely never sat down and watched it start to finish and I've definitely never watched anything of his since then. Fuck that guy.

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
The shared focus of "this kind of leak has never happened before, there will be consequences!" is frustrating. I could care less about fucking decorum.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
Fox News, who embraced the 6 January attack as rowdy tourists narrative, has declared the leak to be an insurrection against the Supreme Court. 100% spin, 24/7. It's funny/sad that the right thinks of itself as counter-revolutionary, halting leftist radicals, when it's embraced the postmodern notion of relative truth—i.e., there is no objective truth—more than anyone else. Everything exists only to be used in service of power.

Is the idea that a leak and subsequent outrage would cause a justice to change their mind?

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
To the right, with their bullshit originalism, a judge is supposed to be objective—beholden to the Constitution and not the society they live in. A regular complaint when a conservative justice "betrays" the law is that they've supposedly gotten sucked into the Beltway cocktail circuit and fear being ostracized by the fancy people. So, definitely, they see this has trying to get a justice to change their mind out of some kind of fear. And, to be fair, the leaker had the same idea. The person who will receive the pressure, I assume, is Roberts, who is an institutionalist and, from what I've read, fears the loss of the Court's respect under his watch. So this, I would gather, would be about trying to get Roberts to work against this draft opinion.matedog wrote: ↑03 May 2022, 2:18pmIs the idea that a leak and subsequent outrage would cause a justice to change their mind?

Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
My understanding is Roberts is a no on overturning but it's 5-4 without him anyways so it doesn't matter. It might actually be a soothing balm for liberals if he did vote to overturn because it would at least render RBG's refusal to retire when Dems had control of the presidency and Senate not the single most consequential thing a pro-rights person has ever done to destroy abortion
