Excellent news roundup.  


In regard to this:


www.theatlantic.com - But, as Kagan argues in her dissent, this case should be easier than many in which gathering outrage tips over into judicial condemnation. This issue has firmer bones than that. Roberts’s faulty reas…

Last week, though, Justice Elena Kagan , writing for the four justices who disagreed with 😈 Chief Justice John Roberts’s opinion in Rucho v. Common Cause purporting to withdraw the Court once and for all from passing judgment on the constitutionality of partisan gerrymanders, ended thus:

Of all times to abandon the Court’s duty to declare the law, this was not the one. The practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government. Part of the Court’s role in that system is to defend its foundations. None is more important than free and fair elections. With respect but deep sadness, I dissent.

Justice Kagan is right. The article is also right that the "reasoning" of Chief "Justice" Roberts is flawed. But, as usual, nobody wans to address the corporate fascist spoon fed malice aforethought (Mens rea) intrinsic to Roberts' "reasoning".

It is an insult to the concept of logical deduction or induction, commonly defined as "reasoning", to believe that Roberts ever engages in it. This 🐵 TOOL has been spoon fed fascist talking points from the time he, a slave of both ambition and greed, wllingly signed up to be a "Federalist Society" fascist handmaiden.

Several years ago, when I watched POS Bush talking and joking with corporate lackey Roberts (when Bush was nominating him for top dog on the Supremely fascist Court), I knew this man was BAD NEWS for we-the-people.

That man's silly grin is an insult to grins everywhere. He thinks he is oh so clever, playing the legalese sophistic doubletalk mumbo jumbo word game, when even the most uneducated among us, after reading a few Roberts quotes,  can easily discern that Roberts never had a moment of deep introspective thought in his entire life. He would be the object of disdain and organ monkey jokes ridicule if he wasn't so dangerously powerful.

Captain Carola Rackete 👍 To Sue Italian Minister Over Migrant Comments

by Crispian Balmer (Reuters) Captain Carola Rackete, 31, was freed from house arrest on Tuesday after a judge dismissed accusations she had endangered the lives of Italian servicemen by ignoring military orders and bringing a boatload of migrants to the port of Lampedusa.

Salvini has repeatedly denounced Rackete, calling her a “pirate” and an “outlaw”, and promising to expel her from Italy. >:(

Rackete’s lawyer Alessandro Gamberini said a lawsuit had been drawn up. “We have already prepared the case against minister Salvini,” he told Radio Cusano Campus, accusing the minister of stirring up hatred.

Rackete herself still faces possible charges of aiding illegal immigration and disregarding public officials and will be questioned in Sicily by magistrates next week. Her Sea-Watch 3 boat has been impounded as the investigation continues.

NEW ROW AHEAD

Since taking office a year ago, Salvini has introduced a battery of anti-migrant measures, leading to a sharp decline in new arrivals also in the number of charity ships operating off the coast of Libya in search of flimsy migrant boats.

Salvini said on Friday that another charity ship, the German-flagged Alan Kurdi, had picked up 65 people near Libya, and warned it not to try to come to Italy.

In an open letter to his German counterpart Horst Seehofe, Salvini said it was vital for Berlin to intercede, adding that Italy would not let the Alan Kurdi dock under any circumstances.

“Any eventual deterioration of the situation on board can therefore only be the exclusive responsibility of the flag-state (of the boat) and the commander and crew of the Alan Kurdi,” he wrote. There was no immediate response from Seehofe.

Earlier on Friday, Malta said it would take in 54 migrants rescued by an Italian charity boat off Libya this week, as part of a migrant swap with Rome.

The two countries have repeatedly clashed over who should receive migrants rescued in the Mediterranean, but both have also criticized their European Union partners for failing to take in more of the newcomers.

“Our two countries have been suffering the indifference and failings of the European Union for years,” Salvini said.
