This is not technically correct.

What changed is if a cop forgets or doesn't read you your rights, you have no legal recourse against them.


One can argue that it means the same thing, but it doesn't. You still have Miranda rights. They just may not inform you of them.

 

Justice Thomas: SCOTUS ‘should reconsider’ contraception, same-sex marriage rulings

excerpt:

"Still, by declining to explicitly repudiate Thomas’ stance, his conservative colleagues provided fodder to the court’s liberal members and left-leaning critics to warn that more overrulings of precedent are on the way.

Of those in the majority on Friday, Justice Brett Kavanaugh came closest to rejecting Thomas’ position, although without mentioning him by name. In a solo concurring opinion, Kavanaugh wrote: “Overruling Roe does not mean the overruling of those precedents, and does not threaten or cast doubt on those precedents.”

Speaking from the White House shortly after the decision was released, Biden directly invoked Thomas’ concurring opinion and reasserted that the ruling “risks the broader right to privacy for everyone.”

“Roe recognized the fundamental right to privacy that has served as a basis for so many more rights that we’ve come to take for granted, that are ingrained in the fabric of this country,” Biden said. “The right to make the best decisions for your health. The right to use birth control. A married couple in the privacy of their bedroom, for God’s sake. The right to marry the person you love.”

With his concurring opinion, Thomas “explicitly called to reconsider the right of marriage equality [and] the right of couples to make their choices on contraception,” Biden continued. “This [is an] extreme and dangerous path the court is now taking us on.”"

 

Storm, please don't talk about metsicans.

 

Thomas' parents should have used contraception.

excerpt:

"But Mitchell is clear about who will be most impacted by Dobbs. “It’s going to affect Black women more,” she said.

All sides of the abortion rights debate have acknowledged that women of color are most likely to be affected by abortion laws. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote a concurring opinion on the Dobbs ruling, has previously compared abortion to a “tool of modern-day eugenics.” (Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in the court’s majority opinion, wrote in a footnote that it is “beyond dispute” that Roe has had a “demographic effect” — “a highly disproportionate percentage of aborted fetuses are Black.”)

Not all states report racial and ethnic data on abortion, but among those who do (29 states and D.C.), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that a disproportionately high share are women of color. In 2019, the abortion rate for Black women was 23.8 per 1,000 women. For Hispanic women, it was 11.7 per 1,000. And for White women, it was 6.6 per 1,000."

 

Trump's lasting legacy grows as Supreme Court overturns Roe

excerpt:

"The abortion decision marked the apex in a week that reinforced the former president's ongoing impact in Washington more than a year and a half after he exited the White House.

A court that includes three Trump-appointed conservatives also decided to weaken restrictions on gun ownership. And across the street at the Capitol, which was ravaged by a mob of Trump supporters in the final days of his presidency in 2021, new details surfaced of his gross violations of democratic norms. The House's Jan. 6 committee used a public hearing last week to spotlight the intense pressure that Trump put on top Justice Department officials to overturn the 2020 election, along with discussions of blanket pardons for cooperative members of Congress.

The developments were a reminder of the awkward political bargain social conservatives embraced to achieve their grandest ambitions. In refusing to consider Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee during the final year of his presidency, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., ensured that the next president would be able to make his mark on the court. As Trump pledged to transform the Supreme Court's ideological leanings —- even providing a list of the judges he would choose from — reluctant conservative Republicans and evangelical Christians rallied behind Trump, a thrice-married man who had previously described himself as “very pro-choice.""

 

Trump's lasting legacy grows as Supreme Court overturns Roe

excerpt:

"Asked about his own role in the eventual decision, Trump responded that, “God made the decision."

Trump grew more emboldened as Friday unfolded, raising money off the decision and issuing a statement in which he took full credit for what he called “the biggest WIN for LIFE in a generation.”

He said that it and “other decisions that have been announced recently, were only made possible because I delivered everything as promised, including nominating and getting three highly respected and strong Constitutionalists confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. It was my great honor to do so!”

At a Saturday night rally, Trump took another victory lap to cheers from the crowd.

“Yesterday the court handed down a victory for the Constitution, a victory for the rule of law, and above all, a victory for life,” he told supporters, who broke into a chant of “Thank you Trump!.”"

 

Trump's lasting legacy grows as Supreme Court overturns Roe

excerpt:

"As the committee has held a series of public hearings, few Republicans have surfaced to defend Trump's actions, which increasingly drew comparisons to President Richard Nixon's actions during the Watergate scandal 50 years ago.

The committee last week showed how a defeated Trump tried to use the Justice Department for his own political ends, much the way Nixon fired his top ranks in the “Saturday Night Massacre” before his resignation.

John Dean, who served as White House counsel to Nixon and famously testified against Nixon in hearings about the scandal, said that watching the three Trump-era Justice Department officials recount how Trump pressured them to investigate baseless allegations and threaten mass resignations brought him back to conversations he had had with Nixon.

“I did fall back and was reminiscent of my March 21 ‘Cancer on the presidency’ conversation with Nixon where I kept pushing and escalating the problems. And he clearly had made up his mind," he recounted. “Nothing I could say seemed to get through.”"

 

The ruling says we do not have a constitutional right to Miranda, meaning they can arrest you and not advise you of your rights. You would still have rights to Due Process (5th & 14th), 6th Amendment Rights, 8th Amendment Rights, and so forth.

New poll suggests midterm voter backlash against GOP over Roe v Wade ruling

excerpt:

"A new poll suggests Republicans may face a backlash from voters in midterm elections this November as a reaction to the overturning of Roe vs Wade by a conservative-dominated Supreme Court.

In a CBS News poll released on Sunday, half of Democratic respondents said that Friday’s ruling ending federal abortion protections for every woman in the country made them more likely to participate in the upcoming midterm elections; by comparison, the percentage of Republicans who said the same was 30 points lower.

Those results may indicate a significant voter enthusiasm gap between Democratic and Republican-leaning voters that could hamstring the GOP’s efforts to win back majorities in the House and Senate, and thereby prevent Joe Biden from passing any significant legislation supported by his party’s base for at least two years.

And Democrats weren’t the only ones in the poll more energised to vote. Independent voters who said they were more likely to participate in the upcoming midterms as a result of the Roe decision outnumbered Republicans (28 per cent to 20 per cent). And a clear majority of independents oppose GOP efforts, currently being launched in states around the country, to restrict or totally ban abortion."

 

GOP candidate says life begins before conception, even in cases of rape

excerpt:

""Everybody has a purpose," he continued. "Jeremiah 1:5: 'I knew you before you were created in the womb.' So, I believe life begins in God before it begins at conception."

On Wednesday night, Stitt signed into law what is already one of strictest anti-abortion rights bills in the country—banning the procedure from the time of conception in nearly every case, with exceptions for cases rape or incest reported to law enforcement and when necessary to save the life of the mother.

Sherwood pledged to go further if elected, eliminating all abortions and criminalizing the procedure as felony murder. He went on to concede that abortions would likely continue even if a full ban were to take place, while comparing unsanctioned abortions to the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, Texas."

 

Trump 'unhinged' after losing election, says Fox News host Kilmeade

excerpt:

"But Kilmeade later added that Trump was "unhinged during that period."

"I interviewed him at West Point and he was kind enough to give me a few minutes. I've never seen him so angry—that was in between the election and January 6. As soon as we were done he just stormed off," said the Fox News host.

"I've known him for 15 years or 20 years prior to him going to the White House—I've never seen him so angry. So he's convinced he was robbed, there's no doubt about it. But I have not seen any evidence, and these are all incremental examples," Kilmeade added."

'Someone's Going To Get Killed': Ga. Official Blasts GOP Silence On Election Threats

excerpt:

"A top election official in Georgia had strong words for President Trump and other top Republican leaders who have attacked Georgia's election system in recent weeks after reports of harassment and death threats against officials overseeing the state's recount.

"Someone's going to get hurt, someone's going to get shot, someone's going to get killed," Gabriel Sterling, with the secretary of state's office, said Tuesday afternoon in an emotional and forceful news conference. "It's not right."

Among other things, a Twitter thread accusing a young technician working on the recount of altering votes led to his identity being released and calls for him to be "hung for treason."

"Rudy Giuliani was attacked by a supermarket worker while campaigning for his son in New York, according to The New York Post.

Guiliani was at a ShopRite on Staten Island where he was helping his son, Andrew, who is running as a Republican candidate for governor of New York.

Rita Rugova-Johnson, a witness, told the Post she was standing "shoulder-to-shoulder" with Guiliani when an on-duty employee slapped him on the back and said, "Hey, what's up scumbag?"

According to Rugova-Johnson, the employee was arrested by law enforcement. The Post reported the suspect is a 39-year-old from Staten Island who will be charged with second-degree assault involving a person over 65 years old.

Giuliani told the Post he regained his composure after being hit."
