xp1337 06/29/21 7:30:18 PM #213: | Meanwhile, at SCOTUS - last decisions of the term will be released Thursday. Includes a case on the Voting Rights Act and another on a law requiring donor-disclosement. Never a great sign when Roberts saves these kind of cases for the very last day. I'm expecting the worst here. In "better" news, SCOTUS just rejected a petition by a realtors' association to lift the federal eviction moratorium. 5-4. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and the 3 liberals denied them. I say "better" because Kavanaugh goes out of his way to write a concurrence saying he agrees with the realtors' association here but the moratorium expires on July 31 so he thinks it'll just solve itself in a month no need to complicate things by abruptly lifting it now when it'll be gone in a month. So despite voting to keep it in place, it's really only by technicality - in substance he would have axed it. So there's basically zero chance of getting it extended now because Kavanaugh is straight-up saying he'll kill it if the Biden Administration extends it... so it'd be up to Congress and this wouldn't be an issue you could throw under reconciliation I think so... filibuster. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
