Flotsam and Jetsam - A Big Day at the Supreme Court

 Now the reason that liberals have been trying to delegitimize the court is clear. A day after the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action, as practiced by Harvard and the UNC were illegal violations of the equal protection, the court released two new rulings, one forbidding Joe Biden's plan to mass cancel student loan debts (at a cost of nearly half at trillion), and one forbidding the state of Colorado from forcing a web designer to  provide pro-gay wedding content. Oh, and that at Christian postal worker can't be forced to work on Sunday. Whatever else you might want to say about Donald Trump and Mitch the murder turtle McConnell, we owe them a great deal of thanks for their efforts on the Supreme Court. 

We'll go to the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 06.30.23 for a whirlwind roundup the court related posts. Twitchy,  Laurence Tribe Writes BRUTAL Letter Trashing Justice “Wise Latina” Sotomayor, Louder With Crowder, Supreme Court rules AGAINST Joe Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailout – here are some things to know, Am Great, Supreme Court Rules Against Biden’s Loan Forgiveness Plan, in Favor of Web Designer Who Refused to Make Same-Sex Wedding Websites, Behind The Black, A blacklisted American wins in court,  Cafe Hayek: On Today’s Ruling On Student-Loan ‘Forgiveness’, Da Tech Guy: SCOTUS Makes the Case for Trump, Dana Loesch: SCOTUS Ends Affirmative Action, Don Surber: Ending centuries of Harvard bigotry, First Street Journal: The Supreme Court destroys all chances of race-based ‘reparations’, Legal Insurrection,  Bates College Prof Reveals Inside Look at ‘the Racial Gaming of Admissions’, Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud – Video of Berkeley Law Dean Admitting To “Unstated Affirmative Action”,  Outkick, WNBA’s Natasha Cloud Says ‘Our Country Is Trash’ In Wake Of Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Ruling, Power Line: A Case Study in ‘Progressive Fragility’ & Entitlement, Joey Mumbles does college admissions, This Ain’t Hell, The U.S. Supreme Court strikes down university affirmative action, exempting the service academies, Transterrestrial Musings, The Affirmative-Action Decision, Victory Girls, Affirmative Action Dissenters Illustrate Hypocrisy in Action, Volokh Conspiracy, SCOTUS Holds That Speech Creators (e.g., Web Designers) Can’t Be Required to Create Content They Object to and Da Fed, SCOTUS Decision Protecting Religious Liberty Provides The Perfect Ending To Pride Month,  and Affirmative Action Is Another Nonsense Leftist Position We’ve Been Conditioned To Take Seriously. Whew, but wait, there's more!

On the affirmative action ruling the Babylon Bee snarks Awkward: Supreme Court Rules Against Affirmative Action With Affirmative Action Hire Sitting Right There. PJM's Stephen Kruiser sees Clarence Thomas Flexes All Over SCOTUS Diversity Hire Ketanji Brown Jackson in Affirmative Action Opinion. At Da Caller, Liberals Outraged That Asian Students Will Finally Get A Fair Chance. PJM's Matt Margolis takes to task Elizabeth Warren: Affirmative Action Hypocrite. Mike LaChance at LI cites Insty “This ruling represents a drastic retreat in the social position of higher education” "Professor Glenn Reynolds on the Supreme Court Affirmative Action ruling." Althouse wonders Whatever happened to the affirmative action concept of "critical mass"? "From the majority opinion in the new case, Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard. . . " At Da Blaze, CNN host abruptly ends segment when guest whips out the facts about affirmative action's impact on Asian students.'

Virginia Kruta at Da Wire notes Chief Justice Roberts Accuses Liberal Justices Of Power Grab In Affirmative Action Opinion.  Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI predicts SCOTUS “gave universities a narrow opening, and Harvard just announced it’s going to drive an affirmative action truck right through it.” Dan Flynn at Am Spec, Supreme Court Sacks Affirmative Action — Here Comes the End-Around. "Chief Justice Roberts provides a playbook on how to skirt the law." At City Journal, The Next Battle Over Racial Preferences, "While the Supreme Court has swept away affirmative action, universities still intend to practice preferential admissions by using proxies for race." Da Caller, Harvard Hints At How It Will Keep Considering Race In Admissions Despite SCOTUS Ruling. Don Surber is pleased with Ending centuries of Harvard bigotry. Kenny Xu at Da Fed writes Despite A SCOTUS Victory For Fair Admissions, The Fight For Meritocracy Must Continue. At Da Caller again, Black Conservatives Praise SCOTUS Decision Striking Down Government-Sanctioned Racism. Matt Margolis, Winsome Sears Nukes Ketanji Brown Jackson's Dissent: ‘Chosen Because She’s Black’ No, she was chosen to be a black, female liberal. Jordan Boyd at Da Fed, Of Course Ketanji Brown Jackson Supports Affirmative Action. It’s The Only Reason She’s A Supreme Court Justice. Da Caller, ‘A Dagger In Our Back’: Sharpton Says ‘Right-Wing Trump Court’ Should Be ‘Resisted’. At Front Page Bruce Thornton opines, The Supreme Court Finally Gets Affirmative Action Right "Ending the blatant contradiction of America’s foundational principles." Breitbart again, EEOC Commissioner: There Will Be More Challenges to Already Illegal DEI, Corporate Race Programs After SCOTUS College Ruling. At the Free Bacon, Media Not Happy About High Court's Affirmative Action Ruling. Really? I'm shocked.

Matt Margolis,  Supreme Court Kills Joe Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Scam. At ET, Supreme Court Strikes Down Biden Student Loan Forgiveness Program. Sundance at CTH, Supreme Court Rules Biden Student Loan Forgiveness Program Exceeds Constitutional Constraints and Joe Biden Reacts to Supreme Court Restraining His Unilateral Power to Forgive Student Loans…. At Am Great, Nice Deb reports Supreme Court Rules Against Biden’s Loan Forgiveness Plan, in Favor of Web Designer Who Refused to Make Same-Sex Wedding Websites (hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves!). At CNN Ilya Somin opines on Why the Supreme Court got it right on student loans. Hat Hair's John Sexton asks What will Biden do to silence the whinging of the borrowers? (Update: Biden says SCOTUS misinterpreted the Constitution). Insty says HEH . . .  Ace, Supreme Court Rules That Biden Cannot Unilaterally Cancel Student Debt; Also Rules That Colorado Cannot Force a Website Maker to Design Wedding Sites for Same Sex Couples

Paula Bolyard at PJM, Supreme Court Sides With Christian Who Refused to Create Same-Sex Wedding Websites. Not The Bee, "You do not have to bake the cake": The Supreme Court continues its winning streak with a major victory for religious liberty. Joe Weber at JTN, Supreme Court rules with web designer in case related to LGBTQ+ rights, free speech.

At Grabien, posted at Hat Hair, Guess what Ilhan Omar believes is behind SCOTUS decisions this week? One guess. Erick Erickson calls it The Ruthless Supreme Court. "When given the chance to step down during Barack Obama’s presidency and allow an equally liberal replacement, the Notorious RBG declined. Thanks to her lack of humility, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was replaced with 48-year-old Amy Coney Barrett by Donald Trump, tilting the court to the right for decades to come."

At Fox, Rep. Nancy Mace says Biden's cognitive decline cannot be denied: 'He shouldn't be president' "Biden wanders off set with MSNBC host still on the air after 'softball' interview." Ben Domenech at Spec World, Biden’s decline deepens in MSNBC interview "The president wandered off the set as if seeking a bowl of porridge and a nightcap. . . . Other than that, things are going pretty well." John Sexton, Document Dump: State Department releases long-delayed Afghanistan report blaming Trump and Biden for chaotic withdrawal.

"Americans will pay 17 percent more for hamburger buns, 5 percent more for potato salad, and 4 percent more for ground beef than last year." At WaEx, Byron York wonders Could Biden actually lose the Democratic race? Capt. Ed comments, "“It just takes one courageous person,” Byron writes. It would have to be someone of standing within the party, though, and neither RFK Jr nor Williamson qualify. Newsom is a joke for reasons that we’ve covered plenty. It would likely have to be another governor, as the Senate is already precarious for Democrats as it is. But whoever comes forward would have to get past Kamala Harris and her progressive-diversity enforcers, and the Supreme Court may have made that more difficult yesterday."

At Da Blaze, RFK Jr. highlights the Biden administration's failure, stresses it's 'not that hard' to seal the border — and Trump's wall is part of the solution. ET sees Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He’s ‘Proud’ That Trump Likes Him, "The comment at NewsNations Town Hall came after RFK Jr. pulls out of Moms for Liberty Conference."

At Da Fetched, Journalist Calls Secret Burner Phone Revealed In Hunter Biden Scandal; Joe Biden Picks Up

FWIW, Twitter has started blocking nonusers from seeing Tweets. It finally pushed me to make an account. 





At the Intercept, NIH Official Advised Covid Scientists to Use His Personal Email to avoid FOIA, "David M. Morens, a high-ranking official at the National Institutes of Health, told prominent scientists discussing Covid’s origins that he would delete emails." 

Da Caller claims to know Tucker’s Big New Plan Revealed. “It’s increasingly possible that the Twitter show is a top-of-funnel play for other things Tucker may soon have cooking,” Puck News’ Dylan Byers wrote. “In fact, I am told he is raising capital to launch a new company that may yet prove more influential.”
