Say, didn't Reagan have a civil defense plan that involved throwing all black people in concentration camps in the event of civil unrest? I think I read that somewhere but I don't know where.

SCOTUS just took up the Texas abortion case. This is one where if they (presumably) side with the state, it's going to let states make access to abortion basically impossible.

How hosed are we if they side with the states?

I don't remember that plan specifically so I can't say, but I do know that the church committee and particularly the pike committee (church's counterpart in the house) uncovered a shitload of really hosed up plans by intelligence agencies to do this kind of poo poo and beyond. But all that would predate Reagan.


Reagan put out a bunch of executive orders that overrode the reforms made in the wake of those revelations though, countermanding the restrictions and allowing them to get back to doing the poo poo that was uncovered and banned.

A report on Crooks&Liars lists 80% of TX clinics closing and the only clinic in MS closing as the result of the Supreme Court siding with the states. I'd imagine those rulings would start a chain reaction in other states to start enacting bullshit regulation on clinics to shut them down as well.

Wouldn't that be something though, women's reproductive rights being destroyed under a democratic president.

The do indeed overturn their own decision, look at Plessy vs Ferguson (Separate but Equal) in 1896 getting overturned by Brown vs Board of Education (1954).

Also note that sometimes that poo poo takes a very, very long time.

So it's 18 dead with hostages remaining at a concert hall (Bataclan theater), no numbers in death or injury at the stadium yet. A few reporters are now saying they are linked but they don't have a source so I'd say assume that is speculation for now.

Yeah, while they *can* overturn their own decisions, practically it won't happen unless the makeup of the court significantly changes.

Apparently ISIL twitter is blowing up right now, and ISIL just got their asses handed to them with Sinjar, Al Hawl, and Jihadi John being killed, so it's looking probable that it's ISIL-related.

(ISIL did a super deadly suicide attack on Kobani after they lost Tal Abyad; they tend to be sore losers.)
