I Told You So - 4 May 2022

Well, now we hear from the Lamestream Media calling out just the issue raised in these missives some time ago.

[I]f Alito's opinion is ultimately rendered, it will represent an opening salvo in a push to target other rights grounded in privacy and liberty. It will also destabilize the law by rendering the legal doctrine of stare decisis -- the notion that courts should follow their precedents even if they disagree with them, to protect the cohesion of the law -- a dead letter. And it will raise new questions about the politicization of the court.

Recall what was proposed in these missives: if there is no right to privacy, Sleepy Joe can let loose the dogs of investigation without regard to anything at all. And so can Big Bidnezz. And so can any Fascist administration that may follow. Sleepy Joe just wants to put the insurrectionists in prison. The Fascists want to put anyone not still living like it's 1829 in prison. Big Bidnezz wants to stop any revelations about bad goods, or pollution, or sexual harassment, or racial profiling, or ... Say or write anything that pisses off the Snappy Cracky Co., and you'll find everything in your life ripped open for them to see. What did Huxley call it?? "Brave New World".

"If there's a majority of justices no longer willing to recognize such a right [to privacy] in the context of abortion -- indeed, who believe the court should never have recognized it -- then that calls into question those other rights, as well," [Steve Vladeck] said.

Let's party like it's 1789!! Bring your wenches and your slaves! Don't bring your children; they've work to do in mills and on farms.
