The Morning Report — 6//27/24

Good Morning Kids. Well, as Malig-Nancy Pelosi would put it, the Supreme Court has indeed "gone rogue." Meh it did that over 200 years ago with Marbury v. Madison and quite a number of other horrendous decisions ever since, but this one is right up there, or given the state of play of how our government has operated since the New Deal, is it really all that surprising?

The Murthy v Missouri decision is pathetic and dishonest. Faced with clear evidence that the government had arranged to censor individuals and viewpoints, Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s response was to lead a majority of the court’s leftists in mocking those who sued as idiots because the injury inflicted on them can’t be redressed since it already happened and because the social media platforms are still continuing to censor them even without direct government intervention.
This is the equivalent of “You can’t sue the government for blowing up your house because it already happened and since it failed to reappear, clearly its non-existence could never be attributed to government action.”
To issue her warping ruling, Justice Barrett had to argue that it’s unlikely the government would ever censor social media again.
“It is a bedrock principle that a federal court cannot redress “injury that results from the independent action of some third party not before the court.” Second, because the plaintiffs request forward-looking relief, they must face “a real and immediate threat of repeated injury.” Putting these requirements together, the plaintiffs must show a substantial risk that, in the near future, at least one platform will restrict the speech of at least one plaintiff in response to the actions of at least one Government defendant.”
And what are the odds of that?

Then ask yourself, would any Republican president or bureaucrat ever knowingly utilize their position to strong-arm the media to strip away the first amendment rights of their political opponents. Meh, would they even be given that opportunity and given the political inclinations of much of the media as mere house organs of the the Democrat left in the first place.

The judiciary was compromised long ago when the notion of a "living and breathing Constitution" was put above originalism and the strict reading of the Constitution. That was the fundamental transformation long before Barack Obama was birthed.

And here we are.

So the debate is tonight. Speaking of censorship, it should be quite instructive as to how Fake Tapper and his sidekick will prop up Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and silence Trump, while hurling have you stopped raping women in Bergdorf's changing rooms yet, kind of questions. Ugh.

On a personal note: for those who have been asking about me, I'm four days into treatment and mercifully not feeling any side effects so far. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

• The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided 6-3 with the Biden junta in Murthy v. Missouri, finding that two states and five individual plaintiffs lacked standing to seek an injunction against the government’s wide-ranging efforts to suppress speech online. The case concerned the federal government requesting social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter remove certain content related to COVID-19 and other hot-button issues; many of the posts that were censored were factual, and critics argued the Biden junta attempted to censor conservative viewpoints

  THE ECONOMY, STUPID

• American households are struggling to maintain their level of worth under Joe Biden‘s government. Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows that under former President Donald J. Trump, household net worth rose steadily—taking on a slight dip at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic but quickly recovering.Meanwhile, under the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden, the net worth of American households has lagged behind the rate of growth under Trump. Even more concerning, household net worth has declined significantly when controlled for inflation.

• This is not any sort of decision on the merits. The appeal will now continue in the Ninth Circuit, after which the losing side – which many observers expect to be Idaho – can again ask the Supreme Court to review the matter. The order appears to be in final form and so should be released in the next few days, and appears to have been posted a day or two early due to a clerical error. But the establishment media is crowing over the issue, claiming a pro-abortion victory. And many media commentators on the right are not pushing back, for some perhaps because they are unclear regarding Supreme Court procedure, but others likely because – for the moment – Biden’s abortion mandate holds sway.

• Paramount cut nearly all the content previously found on Comedy Central, TV Land CMT and MTV websites, in a sweeping cost-slashing move, Wednesday. The sites that formerly housed an abundance of clips and related materials now redirect users to other sites, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This move comes just days after the MTV News website was shuttered. Paramount Network also directed users to their streaming platform, Paramount +. “As part of broader website changes across Paramount, we have introduced more streamlined versions of our sites, driving fans to Paramount+ to watch their favorite shows,” Paramount said in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

• Undoubtedly, a few of you read that headline and thought, "Well of course they are! This country is headed to hell on a three-wheeled skateboard. This is hardly news." And you are right; we are headed to hell on a skateboard, in a handcart, or via whatever your favorite mode of transportation may be. To the casual observer, Christianity may appear to be on the ropes. Depending on what news sites you visit during the day, you may be expecting your house of worship to be shut down by the DOJ or turned into a nightclub or mosque. While things look dire, it is important to remember that there are sites whose job is merely to get you to "panic click" as you ruin your day with the morning doom scroll.
