It’s deja vu all over again.
Hopefully the 2nd time (nor the 3rd, etc.) is not the charm.

Gah! The latest Fux-sphere factoid is that a woman with a walker was trampled by a horse and died. Didn’t happen, and it seems to be a manufactured event by Rebel Media.
The worst are the outlets reporting that the name of the woman is … Roberta Paulsen.
These people are the Vantablack of gullibility.

Lucky me, i never fell for that poverty porn shtick. The glowing National Review blurb on the back was a big red flag too.

Some of the “Canadian truckers” are complaining that their First Amendment rights are being violated.
In Canada, that would be the Manitoba Act of 1870. I don’t know why the Right to Manitoba is so important to them.

Employer mandates:
“All this was too much for Judge Jerry Smith, a very conservative Ronald Reagan nominee, who responded with one of the angriest dissents of his career. In a 60-page burst of fury, Smith wrote that “nothing, especially not the law, will thwart this majority’s plans.” While flouting “blackletter law, the record, and even the Supreme Court,” Elrod and Oldham’s “orgy of jurisprudential violence … junks facts, text, history, and precedent, resulting in a one-off change in the law that alters the result for these parties.” Smith even suggested that these judges lied, “inventing and distorting facts” to suit their “incoherent reasoning” while ignoring facts that “would get in the way of a good story.”
“If I ever wrote an opinion” so egregious, Smith wrote, “I would hide my head in a bag.”

Voting rights:
What’s most bizarre about Rudofsky’s argument is that both the Supreme Court and the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have already rejected it. A majority of the Supreme Court has held that private plaintiffs, not just the attorney general, may sue under the VRA’s Section 2. So has the 8th Circuit. Those rulings, among others, have led hundreds of other courts to hear VRA cases brought by individuals, not the attorney general. And both rulings are binding on Rudofsky. Yet he claimed that they have been undermined by more recent decisions, freeing him from the obligation to follow them.
The Supreme Court has expressly forbidden this kind of overruling from below, reminding judges: “It is this Court’s prerogative alone to overrule one of its precedents.” Rudofsky didn’t care. Instead, he latched on to a concurrence from Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas suggesting that citizens can’t bring VRA suits. It is as if, recognizing the Arkansas plaintiffs would win on the merits, Rudofsky constructed a new barricade just to keep them from crossing the finish line. In the process, he teed up a vehicle for the Supreme Court’s ultraconservatives to formally overturn the precedent he despises and lop off all vestiges of federal voting rights.
