Exactly. There's just no upside to going scorched earth over this SCOTUS seat and a LOT of opportunity for reputational peril.
Part of this is people throwing grenades to settle scores over judges from the last time they were throwing grenades over judges.

Just be cool, folks.
In the immortal words of Agent J, "don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.
I'm not saying that Republicans should just agree to whomever Biden picks. But there's a proportionality principle here.

He took hostages at a synagogue on a Saturday. Pretty sure this act of terrorism was targeted at the Jewish community, champ.
fuckssakes
Sure, folks. When the guy whose demands weren't about Jews forced his Jewish hostages in a synagogue to call a rabbi in another state, it totally wasn't about Jews. That was just a coincidence. Coulda been calling anybody, really.

Absolutely, hands down, no contest, the best uniforms to this day.
I was a high school marching band geek, and we got uniforms when I was a senior where the tunic was fastened diagonally like the Star Trek tunics, and let me tell you it was really satisfying to pull that sucker open and breath. Those were the best.
One of the many great things about this film is that half the men have bangs.

I'm not sure how I ended up on a Wrath rewatch tonight, but here we are.

Big SCOTUS news. The court has agreed to hear the case of a high school football coach who was disciplined for praying at the fifty yard-line after games. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/2… Image
9th Cir. held that when he "kneeled and prayed on the fifty-yard line immediately after games while in views of students and parents, he spoke as a public employee, not as a private citizen," and so was not protected by the First Amendment. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin…
That provoked a HEATED exchange of views when the court denied rehearing en banc. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin… Image

SCOTUS will block the OSHA test-or-vaccine mandate.

Per curiam opinion.
Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito concurring.
Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan in dissent. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…
SCOTUS will *not* block the CMS mandate. That can go into effect.

Per curiam opinion.
Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito, Barrett in dissent. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…
Let's dig in. Here's the nut of the NFIB/OSHA test-or-vaccine maj. op.

"Although COVID– 19 is a risk that occurs in many workplaces, it is not an *occupational* hazard in most."

9th Cir. revives a Title IX suit from a male grad student dismissed from UCLA after an accusation of misconduct from a female student. Finds allegations sufficient to state a claim. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin… Image
Court finds plausible inference of Title IX sex discrimination where student alleged (1) external pressures, including the Obama admin's infamous "Dear Colleague" letter; (2) pattern and practice of discrimination against previous male students, shown by state litigation; and
(3) specific statements from univ. staff to this student, including the claim that female accusers do not fabricate allegations in Title IX cases, which seems, uh, yeah, problematic.

TOO MANY SECRETS Image
There's so much great stuff in this film that I noticed for the first time.

In the middle there's a long action and dialogue take with Poitier leading and the rest of the cast having to hit their marks that must have taken hours to get right.
There's also a part I hadn't noticed before where the camera casually pans by while Poitier is delivering exposition while the blind dude is chopping vegetables in the foreground. So good.
