All these decisions tell me is that the Congress has to be changed very fast, we don't have time to wait until 2016. Republicans need the boot this year, or we're boned.

A couple of interesting cases up for argument this week. Pom v. Coca Cola, ABC v Aereo, and Limelight v Akami.

The biggest one is probably the Aereo case, which could have really broad implications for digital services. If the Court changes the definition of "performance" with regard to digital transmission, then cloud storage providers and streaming companies are going to be paying out a lot more money.

Either ABC wins, or you have 150 million extremely pissed off people with Aereo, because the traditional broadcast model is going away forever, and so are sports.

People want their sports. Aereo and it's 'innovation' are going to die.

How so? Without broadcast Aereo has nothing and ABC is already prepping their own Aereo competitor (because they seem to realize people will pay for something even if it's being given away for free).

Edit: Unless you're saying a company will walk away from 150 million pairs of eyeballs watching their ads?

The big network broadcasters will want those eyeballs, I just think they'll smash Aereo into the ground, and you've revealed they're working on their own version of Aereo, yeah, it's just going to be a bat in the middle of Time Square. Very open, and very few will care because they're so niche.

So if this survives SCOTUS a second time, what will be the next attempt to legislate it out of existence through the courts?

Congress when Republicans get their majority, and over-turn Obama's veto. Other than that scenario, all they can do it pick off bits and push poor people into the dirt.

Also the entire court was Southern and slave holding. Lincoln should have executed all of them for treason, as there were links to murder plots from the Chief Justice angry that Lincoln had dared to consider arresting him.

Despite Thomas and Scalia on the current court, this SCOTUS has come a long way, I hope it improves, and not regress the progress it has made in just the last eight years.

I don't think it would have distracted at all, and it's just another case of the NYT suppressing a story until after an election. Not that there would have been any accountability for Alito's actions to be clear.
