Justice Alito has a great sense of humor mocks Boris Johnson and Ex Prince Harry for criticizing our laws. “ Boris paid the price” .

Lol CNN upset over Alitos remarks. ( wish I could say how they were hurting, but, I don’t think I can)

I heard him on the radio say it, he was hilarious.

"The Obamas

Former first lady Michelle Obama wrote about her own experience as one of the few Black students on her college campus and said in a statement that "today, my heart breaks for any young person out there who's wondering what their future holds — and what kinds of chances will be open to them."

"Today is a reminder that we've got to do the work not just to enact policies that reflect our values of equity and fairness, but to truly make those values real in all of our schools, workplaces, and neighborhood," she said.

Former President Barack Obama, in a shorter statement, said: "Like any policy, affirmative action wasn't perfect. But it allowed generations of students like Michelle and me to prove we belonged. Now it's up to all of us to give young people the opportunities they deserve — and help students everywhere benefit from new perspectives."

And more importantly, well for this forum, SCOTUS accepted the Rahimi case for next fall:

https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/just ... t-dispute/

This is the challenge to federal law banning people under a protective order from having guns. As I understand it, the appeal is a direct result of Bruen, where they are arguing that there is no history or tradition of forfeiting rights due to a protective order without a conviction.

Both Barack and Michelle lost their law licenses or as they stated, they "gave them up". No lawyer I have ever run across would voluntarily give up being a lawyer except to keep from having it stripped and be disbarred. Bill Clinton fought to get his back even though he had no intention to ever practice again.

Washington Post suggestions for you constitutionalists out there, if SCOTUS does its job.

“Just as the Women’s March and the March for Our Lives fortified public opinion and activism, even without prompting an immediate legislative result, a March for Democracy would help galvanize public opinion and turn the election into a mandate on the court.
Finally, the recommendations above, if unsuccessful in curbing the court’s arrogance, would set the stage for wholesale court reform. Should Democrats win the White House and majorities in the House and Senate, no matter how narrow, the entire panoply of reforms and responses should be on the table. Those could include Alito’s impeachment (especially if he snubs a subpoena), a mandatory ethics code, Supreme Court term limits and court expansion. (If need be, Democrats would need to adjust the too-long abused filibuster to attend to the job of fixing a disgraced court.)
Confidence in the court has already sunk to historic lows in recent years; should Alito and Thomas sit on the Trump immunity case and put their thumbs on the scale for him, public support for bold reforms may well surge.
Alito and Thomas, coupled with Roberts’s clueless passivity and inability to exert ethical leadership, have plunged the Supreme Court into a crisis. But they have thereby opened the door to much-needed reforms that could restore the court’s luster. Defenders of the rule of law should grasp this historic opportunity to rehabilitate a faltering, increasingly disreputable institution.”
