How right-wing activists influence SCOTUS to boost ā€˜their historical narrativeā€™: report

This is the Radical Republican who controls the Sleazy Six on the corrupted court:

Leonard Leoā€”His Goalā€”To turn the US into a right wing theocracy.

Far-right groups connected to United States Supreme Court conservative justices are actively using ā€œamicus briefs to support their historical narrative,ā€ according to a Sunday POLITICO report by Washington DC journalist Heidi Przybyla.

She reports, ā€œA POLITICO review of tax filings, financial statements and other public documents foundā€ conservative billionaire activist and Federalist Society leader Leonard Leo ā€œand his network of nonprofit groups are either directly or indirectly connected to a majority of amicus briefs filed on behalf of conservative parties in seven of the highest-profile rulings the court has issued over the past two years.ā€

Przybyla writes, ā€œIt is the first comprehensive review of amicus briefs that have streamed into the court since Trump nominated Justice Amy Coney Barrett in 2020, solidifying the courtā€™s conservative majority. POLITICOā€™s review found multiple instances of language used in the amicus briefs appearing in the courtā€™s opinions.ā€

The DC journalist notes, ā€œAround the turn of the 20th century in America, there was a shift to amicus briefs becoming vehicles for parties who felt a stake in the case but werenā€™t among the official litigants.ā€

William and Mary Law School constitutional law expert Allison Orr Larson told the news outlet, ā€œJustices appointed by both Democrats and Republicans over the past decade have come to rely on amicus briefs, including those funded by advocacy groups, for ā€˜fact-finding,ā€™ā€

She said, ā€œThereā€™s no real vetting process for who can file these amicus briefs,ā€ and judges ā€œaccept these historical narratives at face value.ā€

Princeton Professor Robert P. George, a leader of the conservative legal movement and confidant of the judicial activist and Donald Trump ally Leonard Leo, made the case for overturning Roe v. Wade in an amicus brief a year before the Supreme Court issued its watershed ruling.

Roe, George claimed, had been decided based on ā€˜plain historical falsehoods.ā€™ For instance, for centuries dating to English common law, he asserted, abortion has been considered a crime or ā€˜a kind of inchoate felony for felony-murder purposes.ā€™

This is a LONG (3 hours, 51 minutes) video about plagiarism by hbomberguy, a YouTuber famous for chopping through a fake wall and then asking Ben Shapiro who Floridians were supposed to sell their houses to when their houses are under water?!?

This is probably something you want to put on in the background and perk up your ears every now and then. Although I did learn about a lawsuit between Ben Bova and Harlan Ellison and ABC about ā€œFuture Copā€ I was unaware of. Mainly, itā€™s about the rampant plagiarism on YouTube and basically, nothing gets done about it.

I read a good article about how social media is lifting the veil of sanitized news globally. The images of multiple Palestinian children killed by an air strike posted almost as soon as it happened has the emotional connection that official rationalization canā€™t offset. The horror of the triggering event wears off as continued examples of other horrors surface.

Soon it will happen with a school shooting here in the US and then you will see movement on gun control that the GOP will be powerless to hold back.

Rudy Giuliani fears ā€˜prison for the rest of my lifeā€™ after laptop ā€˜manipulationā€™ claim

Itā€™s what that piece of morally bankrupt garbage deserves

Rudy Giuliani expressed fear on Sunday that he could go to prison for the rest of his life after Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) suggested that data from Hunter Bidenā€™s laptop had been ā€œmanipulatedā€ by the former New York mayor.

On his Sunday radio program, Giuliani said he deserved praise for exposing the contents of a laptop belonging to President Joe Bidenā€™s son, Hunter.

ā€œDo you think Iā€™m entitled to some credit for being the one who brought out Biden for the first time?ā€ Giuliani asked longtime girlfriend and co-host Maria Ryan.

ā€œYou deserve a lot of credit,ā€ Ryan agreed.

ā€œThey donā€™t,ā€ Giuliani complained. ā€œThey think I deserve to go to prison for the rest of my life for doing it.ā€

ā€œThatā€™s why they went after you, Rudy, because you had information, and you were highly credible,ā€ Ryan insisted. ā€œThey had to discredit you, so they made up stories about you.ā€

Giuliani argued that he had been ā€œvindicatedā€ even though a lawsuit from Hunter Biden accused him of hacking and manipulating the laptopā€™s contents.

ā€œI was accused by Biden during the last debate, presidential debate, by name, of being a Russian pawn,ā€ he complained. ā€œIt is proven that Iā€™m not.ā€

ā€œAnd then this liar, the newest big liar in the Democratic Party, Dan Goldman from New York, a little rich boy, comes out and calls me a Russian pawn again,ā€ he added.

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing last week, Goldman said there was evidence Giuliani had ā€œmanipulatedā€ the laptopā€™s hard drive.

ā€œYou have no idea, you know hard drives can be manipulated,ā€ Rep. Goldman told a witness. ā€œHard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani or Russia. There is actual evidence of it, but the point is itā€™s not the same thing.ā€

Giuliani is facing charges in Georgia related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but he has not been indicted in connection to the laptop.

CNN panel flattens GOP strategist for supporting ā€˜dead on arrivalā€™ Biden impeachment

During an appearance on CNNā€™s ā€œState of the Union,ā€ Republican Party strategist Brad Todd got an earful from both liberal and conservatives sitting on the panel with him when he attempted to defend plans by the GOP-controlled House to impeach President Joe Biden.

Talking about the impeachment inquiry which got the go-ahead from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Todd was lectured that it was ā€œdead on arrivalā€ because multiple Republican House members in swing districts donā€™t want it hanging over their heads as they run for re-election.

ā€œThe reality is it is dead on arrival,ā€ former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin explained. ā€œThere is a slim House Republican majorityā€¦ If youā€™re [Republican Rep.] Mike Lawler in New York, youā€™re talking about losing seats in D+2 districts.ā€

When Todd tried to compare the inquiry to the impeachments of Donald Trump, and said it would not impact the 2024 election, former Biden White House communications official Kate Bedingfield smirked and pounced.

ā€œThat in and of itself is a hyperpartisan, hyperpolarized argument,ā€ she argued. ā€œJust because we impeached Donald Trump for demonstrable crimes against the Constitution doesnā€™t mean that Republicans will in turn impeach Joe Biden. This not just about scoring points.ā€

re: #63 silverdolphin

The guy understands Poeā€™s Law. He represents the 54th Congressional district in a state with only 53 districts. And he just wrote a book about Detective Jesus entitled ā€œThou Shall Not Killā€ that he says he wrote during boring speeches in Congress. Imahine Jesus as a Quinn Martin Productions detective.

Well done, sir.

I was unfamiliar with Jack Kimble before our gocart mozart posted his George Santos tweet. Fool that I was, I made some pedantic tweet, then suddenly the light dawned, and I quickly deleted my comment. Very clever guy!.

Remember itā€™s Tim Pool The Dim Fool having a sads.

It needs be said that this kind of person makes themselves upset because in that upset-ness they find something important and meaningful that fulfills them.

Like, at some point it has to be underlined thatā€¦this is what they want, they enjoy this, and treating their performance as genuine sorrow or anger is stepping over something important: the manufacture of outrage is not moralistic, itā€™s hedonistic.

Just what we need to seeā€¦

Thereā€™s Already a George Santos Movie in the Works

Sounds like a RAZZIEĀ® contender to me!

thedailybeast.com

George Santos will be back on-screen soon.

Not in a livestream from the floor of the House of Representatives, from which he was expelled last week over his various liesā€”but instead on a silver screen.

HBO Films has picked up the rights to The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos, a book by Newsday columnist Mark Chiusano that was published last week.

The film will be executive produced by Frank Rich, of Veep and Succession fame, alongside Bad Education writer Mike Makowsky, according to Variety. Chiusano will serve as a consulting producer.

ā€œCould not think of a better team for this,ā€ Chiusano wrote on X.

The movieā€™s logline describes it as a ā€œstory of a seemingly minor local race that wound up a battle for the soul of Long Island, and unexpectedly carved the path for the worldā€™s most famous (and now disgraced) congressman.ā€

ā€œThe Gatsby-esque journey of a man from nowhere who exploited the system, waged war on truth and swindled one of the wealthiest districts in the country to achieve his American Dream,ā€ it read.

A release date, director, and cast have not been announced, though social-media speculation over who could play the serial fabulist has already run rampant.

Much of that conjecture has offered up Nelson Franklin, who starred in Veep and played Santos on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year. In a Vulture interview in January, Franklin said he hadnā€™t heard Santos speak until he was offered the chance to play the now-disgraced congressman for a segment.

ā€œI realized right away that, yes, there are very crucial parts of our faces that are almost exactly the same,ā€ Franklin said. ā€œIf he were way better looking than me, I would have been screwed because then it would have been like, ā€˜Oh, youā€™re like the uglier George Santos.ā€™ That would have been the end of the world.ā€

re: #92 darthstar

Watched Charade with Carey Grant and Audrey Hepburn last night. Super fun movie with what turned out to be an all-star cast. In addition to Grant and Hepburn: Karl Malden, Lee Marvin, George Kennedyā€¦definitely worth a rainy night Amazon Prime fix.

At midnight, I was watching a horrible/good movie, The X-15. It was a lot of good USAF/NASA footage of the great space ship, cut with a trite domestic story of 3 pilots and their women. Bonus: Mary Tyler Moore is the Hot Young Thing in her first role. Charles Bronson plays Charles Bronson.

hbomberguy almost completely cancelled James Somerton on the internet in less than a day.

Somertonā€™s behavior was downright sociopathic.

I didnā€™t even know who he was until today, as (confession) I donā€™t visit a lot of queer spaces online. What Somerton did over years was nothing short of monstrous. His theft of queer writersā€™ words is fucking appalling.

This has been an astounding takedown. The video is 4 hours long, but well worth the effort.

Plagiarism and You(Tube)

re: #113 teleskiguy

As somebody who watched Somerton and found him initially impressive but then strangely inconsistentā€¦finding out heā€™s a plagiarist both makes sense and remains tremendously sad. He sometimes said stuff I thought was genuinely inspirational, and that is was other unrecognized writers just drains me.

{{{gentle hugs}}}

Like I said, what he did was monstrous. He fucked with goodpeopleā€™s heartstrings by stealing from the best queer writers out there for fun and profit. One of those dudes I wish there was a Hell for dude to burn in an ā€œafterlife.ā€

I found it funny and peculiar that hbomerguy didnā€™t also delve into Epic Meal Time. Then the fucking thing probably wouldā€™ve approached six hours!

Iā€™ll tell you what Iā€™m exposed to a lot of queer content on Bluesky. Which is good.
