Also, remember that 'leaked' tax document Maddow creamed her pants over? It became pretty obvious the only person that leaked that one was Trump or his camp, so it's definitely not the first time he's tried this.

Towards the end of Woodward's book, about two minutes after Dowd told Trump he quit, the NY Times and Washington Post called him to confirm the story. Dowd suspected Trump called the editors himself, right after hanging up with Dowd. As much as he hates the news because it hurts his feelings, he loves being in the middle of it.

What would an overturning of Roe even look like, practically speaking?
Pre-2016: Roe v. Wade would be overturned, making it a state issue (one of the several areas where the 10th Amendment is a pretty good idea)
Post-2016: Zygotes are declared to be persons, Constitutionally speaking. Abortion becomes illegal, state and federal. This is probably not going to happen because Roberts won't want it as part of his legacy. But if Trump gets to appoint one more justice...

Nephzinho posted:

Would it require someone bringing it before the court to review again or can the bench just decide to review it?
The SCOTUS can only review cases that are brought before it. However, SCOTUS gets to pick which of those cases to review.

Nephzinho posted:

If it were overturned, wouldn't it just make states able to decide on their own how to handle it? In such a case where it was kicked to the states, wouldn't women still be able to travel (seeing as many already do depending on what state/waiting periods you have)?
Assuming along pre-2016 lines, yes, it would go to the states. However, the US Congress could just amend the Mann Act which makes it illegal to cross state lines for immoral purposes to specifically include abortion. Or just have DoJ determine that abortion is already covered by the Mann Act and force the federal courts to defer to that interpretation (another reason why Chevron deference is a bad idea)

Nephzinho posted:

Even just timeline wise, between the appointment and when states voted on new legislation, are we talking weeks/months/years?
I think some states have deadman switches on their abortion laws; the instant abortion is no longer a federal constitutionally protected right, abortion becomes illegal in the state. (e: Or perhaps the law making abortion illegal, which was made unconstitutional by Roe v. Wade, was never taken off the books - and is no longer unconstitutional) Others will have to wait for the next legislative session. In all cases there will be state court challenges. While those state cases are pending, state courts could keep abortion legal until the issue is resolved. Or they could not.

I’m imagining a slew of press aides stacking up on the door to his bedroom and charging in all at once. One yells “IVANKA! IVANKA!” to distract him while the others wrestle the phone from his hand before he can lock it, therefore allowing them to delete horrible tweets like that.

That one is going to cost him big. There’s not a lot of walking back or equivocating that Kellyanne or She-Huck can do with that one.

The 3% of the 30% who are hardcore Trumpland who still think rape is bad might be swayed to at the very least not vote. Trump continually defending a sexpest (other than himself) may swing 10k votes.

The margains aren't good enough where either party can afford to have voters not turn out.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

It's more on the order of 'motivate a few more angry women to get out to the polls and maybe volunteer or donate to a local campaign // discourage a few "reasonable" conservatives to not get up early and hit the polls before work on election day'. No one is going to change their minds, it's all about making sure your side puts in 110% and the other side starts leaving the stands in the 4th quarter.

He said that a survivor of sexual assault was making it up. That’s a public pronouncement that’s a bit worse than his usual boorishness. It may not turn the midterms into a tsunami but this isn’t going to help him with anyone but the “I’m Okay With Rape 👌” bloc.

and the people who aren't okay with it who were cool with trump before he said she was making it up? who are they going to vote for in november and in 2020?

So in non-Trump news, Apple’s latest version of iOS has a new “measure” tool that allows you to use the camera to measure an object. Well, as it turns out, there’s a bug that has apparently affected some users, where the phone will take a pictures what’s being measured and upload it to Apple’s servers.
