Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing's shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so

a guest. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so, for that one change me a little.

Enjoy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Overruled, the nothing personal word of the day for Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 is overruled.

Last night we were all going about a ride on a bike.

We were all going to a bike.

Maybe watching some basketball, watching from baseball. Not thinking that this would be the day that we would remember that would be in the history books.

The day that marked the end of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court case which along with another case gave the road to the city.

It gave the right to women to choose the right to abortion.

Yesterday a 98 page draft Supreme Court opinion authored by Justice Alito was leaked to Politico and Politico gave you the entire 98 pages to read.

I want to take a minute fast forward at your peril to talk about what happened, what is happening, and what's going to happen, and ask you a very simple question, where do you stand?

When the Supreme Court decides to take a case, you don't just buy happenstance, get before the Supreme Court, they have to grant you it's called cert, which means that you apply to the Supreme Court and say, listen, I think we have an issue here where there is lack of clarity in the country, there's lack of clarity in the district courts, there's lack of direction in Congress.

On an issue, please help me solve this issue. The Supreme Court does not take all cases, not even close to all cases.

There's a case in Mississippi, which we have detailed on this show in a previous episode, which basically is another attempt to overturn the rights protected by Roe vs. Wade, which was a case in 1973.

The Supreme Court decided to hear the case, they heard the oral arguments, and we expected a decision to come out in June or July. That is when all of the decisions from the term are released, strategically, by the way, they're like movie studio heads figuring out when to release what.

The way it works is that each Supreme Court justice has a clerk, they have many clerks, and they decide they split who's going to write the majority opinion.

They talk about it, they write an opinion, then they figure out who's on what side, what the decision's going to be, then it's a draft because it goes to all the other people on the majority, whatever the issue is, if it's going to be five, four, six, three, seven, two, it's five, four to block.

Well, that's it, that's all you need, but let's say it's six, three, seven, two, eight, one, nine, nothing doesn't matter.

So, someone is assigned to write an opinion, they write an opinion, clerks write the opinion, but the justices certainly are involved to say the least, then it goes to the other members of the court on the majority side.

Meanwhile, on the minority side, there's something called a dissenting opinion, a dissenting opinion is a detailed description why the majority opinion is not correct.
