Supreme Court Reaffirms Rule Against Racial Bias in Jury Selection

Justices vote 7-2 to overturn murder conviction of black defendant in Mississippi 

Writing for the 7-2 majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the “extraordinary facts of this case” required the court’s intervention. . .

Mr. Flowers, then 26, had worked at the store, but no physical evidence tied him to the crime. District Attorney Doug Evans, theorizing that Mr. Flowers killed the four victims in revenge after being fired, prosecuted him all six times.

OH HOW COULD YOU BRETT, MS (June 21)

Why should a DA

have to go wilty

because a black man

might not really be “guilty”?

If he's not guilty

explain the fact

that the defendant

appears to be black!

Justice delayed

may be justice denied,

WSJ: Trump Wants to Curb Birthright Citizenship, Escalating Immigration Debate

Legal scholars dismiss the idea, saying a president lacks standing to do it on his own

In an interview published Tuesday morning, just ahead of next week’s midterms, Mr. Trump said he planned an executive order to end what is known as birthright citizenship, bypassing Congress and waving off the belief of many legal scholars that such a move would require a change to the Constitution.

“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” he told Axios. “It’s in the process. It’ll happen, with an executive order.”

As president I can do what I like.

Because if I can't. . .where's the fun?

I can, if I want, have someone shot,

then charge them for use of the gun.

I learned all this stuff from my boy, Stephen Miller.

(He reminds me so much of Roy Cohn.)

Although he resembles a serial killer,

he's more like a Mafia don.

Steve, when he's near, fills folks with fear.

Like my boy Roy, his smile is a sneer.

Two of a kind. My kinda guys.

Don'cha just love their really dead eyes?

Two of a kind: Roy Cohn and Stephen Miller

NYT: Trump Attacks Ryan, Who Scoffed at Birthright Citizenship Plan (Paywall)

In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Mr. Trump presented his own legal argument: “It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’ ” . . .

With judges who say corporations are people,

then rule people need homes full of guns,

there’s no reason to think undoing amendments

won’t be considered great fun.

Our GOP's quick on the draw to hold up uphold the law.

(Sweetest damned thing that you ever saw!)

We'll fix what is wrong. People will cheer.

And Brett Kavanaugh can have him a beer.

I like beer!
Believe me I am honestly sincere!
As a boy I did enjoy my daily dose of lager.
I downed whole kegs and drained the dregs till I was in a fog or
passed out on the floor atop a fifteen-year-old jogger.        
Oh I like beer!
Among the brews I cannot choose a single one I favor.
After three or four (or more) the world begins to waver.
And come the dawn, the early morn I taste this sickish flavor.
But I like beer!

NYT: Kavanaugh’s 1983 Letter Offers Inside Look at High School Clique (Paywall)

In a 1983 letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times, the young Judge Kavanaugh warned his friends of the danger of eviction from an Ocean City, Md., condo. In a neatly written postscript, he added: Whoever arrived first at the condo should “warn the neighbors that we’re loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers among us. Advise them to go about 30 miles...”

In June 1983, Brett Kavanaugh wrote a two-page letter to seven friends about their coming “Beach Week” condo rental. (Some names have been redacted.) NYT

All of that summer,

All that we did was

lift weights,

There weren't girls

(I am not clear

if parents were there.

All I recall is

drink beers.)

It's so unfair,

these vicious smears.

There was no sex.

Lift weights,

drink beers.

And you bet your ass

I was top of my class

and now it appears

adieu career?

Is this the end?

Lift weights,

drink beers.

Let me be clear:

I. DID. NOT. DO. IT!

lift weights,

drink beers.)

*Eddie was known for his neat grooming—hiding his shallow and sneaky character. Typically, Eddie would greet his friends' parents with overdone good manners and often a compliment such as, “That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver.” However, when no parents were around, Eddie was always up to no good—either conniving with his friends or picking on Wally's younger brother, Beaver. Eddie's duplicity was also exemplified in his efforts to curry favor by trying to talk to adults at the level he thought they would respect, such as referring to their children as Theodore (Beaver's much-disliked given name) and Wallace, even though the parents called them Beaver and Wally.

An untrustworthy wise guy, Eddie could be relied upon to concoct and instigate schemes with his friends, schemes for which they would be in the position of blame if (and frequently when) they were caught.  — Wikipedia

_______

*According to the common Catholic teaching it is never allowable to tell a lie, not even to save human life. A lie is something intrinsically evil, and as evil may not be done that good may come of it, we are never allowed to tell a lie. However, we are also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully, and sometimes the easiest way of fulfilling that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie. Writers of all creeds and of none, both ancient and modern, have frankly accepted this position. They admit the doctrine of the lie of necessity, and maintain that when there is a conflict between justice and veracity it is justice that should prevail. The common Catholic teaching has formulated the theory of mental reservation as a means by which the claims of both justice and veracity can be satisfied. — The Catholic Encyclopedia
