The third pillar of our esteemed federal system is entering a chaotic phase as the investigation heats up into the premature and embarrassing leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that overrules Roe v. Wade. The focus at present is on the individual justices’ law clerks—the folks who actually do the lion’s share of the research and writing that informs the court’s learned pronouncements.

As CNN’s Joan Biskupic reports, apparently no one has yet copped to sending the Alito screed to Politico, despite what had to have been a tense meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts, who is busy watching his judicial legacy circle the bowl.

Supreme Court officials are escalating their search for the source of the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, taking steps to require law clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits, three sources with knowledge of the efforts have told CNN.

Some clerks are apparently so alarmed over the moves, particularly the sudden requests for private cell data, that they have begun exploring whether to hire outside counsel.

Maybe Jonnie and federalist society could file amicus brief on the matter of privacy and then try to seek a subpoena and see how that would with these problem amendments. You know the first seven ....after all the country is about to get a a amicus brief on what witches and things did under abortions' laws...and if I was clerk would tell them to go pound sand.....

Ukraine update: Russia is losing every day, but the cost of making them lose is painfully highU

In looking at this article in the Ukrainian edition of Forbes, the biggest concern the author displays is about the consequences of losing Severodonetsk and the possibility that thousands of Ukrainian troops could be cut off and destroyed unless Ukraine pulls back in time. However, the sentence that’s likely to be both frustrating and frightening for many Western readers may be this one:

Russia's superiority in manpower, heavy weapons and air support poses significant problems for Ukraine.

Three months into Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion, Oryx has definitively recorded the loss of 4192 pieces of Russian equipment. That includes 742 tanks, 1453 armored infantry transports and fighting vehicles, and 251 piece of artillery or MLRS. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Russia has lost over 27,000 soldiers. According to the U.K. Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon, Russia has lost between one-third and one-half of all the forces it sent into Ukraine.

Every single day we’re getting images of Russian equipment going boom and stories of Russian forces being shuffled back into the motherland after losing so many men, machines, or both that they’re no longer effective — and this is no longer effective by the standards of people who have been feeding units piecemeal into a sausage grinder for months. These are units that are pre-ground. So ground-down they’re not worth grinding again

Well another hurt Christian.....from Texas....and his CRT BS....

The Daily Beast posted a video of a man posing as a police officer who claimed that people of color are taking jobs from white people. He's also said that he can no longer be a Christian because of Black people.

“You ruined my life, my entire legacy of being a Christian,” the man said in a video filmed by a spa owner.

She refused to give her name and the business name, fearful that she would be further attacked by those who believe in the so-called "great replacement theory." It was less than a month ago that a racist mass shooter killed ten people and injured three others.
