Yeah, you’re right, and I’m not putting money on it. I was mainly responding to the political implications 35 days out from a major election. I don’t know how it cuts, but I can’t help but think it’s a pretty big deal.

Did you mix those lines up? You're saying that affirmation is unlikely? I think it is very likely to be reversed on appeal. Do you know something I don't?

No.
+300 gets you $300 (plus your original $100 bet) if it is affirmed.
-250 gets you $100 (plus your original $250 bet) if it is reversed.

Oh, right. Plus is the underdog. I often get that confused. It's sort of embarrassing, really. Not a mistake I should make -- not more than once, at least. And yet. What's worse is that I looked it up and still fucked up. In fairness, I had just gotten back from the dentist and my mouth hurts like a mfer, and also I've never bet on sports. Still, I used to teach finance. I really should be able to convert moneyline bets into odds, expected values, etc.

Melania's recent memoir states she supports abortion rights for women. MAGA not going to be happy. Surprising she would state that since she is going along with the fake happy marriage and support of Trump (though she was never in court for him).

Meh. Republicans have a long history of having their wives soften the abortion debate with more moderate personal positions that don’t impact the actual policy goals of curtailing or eliminating abortion rights.

Temporary order pending hearing but the decision to re-instate gives an indication of direction.
Well, my +300/-250 reversal odds might have been a bit too generous. Going with +1000/-900 now.Temporary order pending hearing but the decision to re-instate gives an indication of direction.

“… Amarillo, Texas — a conservative town in the panhandle with a population of about 200,000 — is set to consider a measure that would declare the city a “sanctuary city for the unborn.”
The measure would prohibit abortion unless necessary to save the patient’s life, make abortion pills illegal and outlaw traveling outside the city to access abortion in other states.
Interstate 40 is the major thoroughfare through Amarillo and happens to be the fastest way to get to New Mexico, where abortion is protected.
Though several states have abortion rights initiatives on the ballot next month, anti-abortion activists are focused on Amarillo for the role an outcome there could play nationally. If the ordinance is adopted, the city could become involved in an abortion pill case the Supreme Court sent back to the lower courts last term. The justices argued that the main plaintiffs — a coalition of anti-abortion groups known as the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine — lacked standing to bring the case.
If Amarillo passes the ordinance, anti-abortion advocates think it could have standing. And, not coincidentally, Amarillo’s only federal judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee who has openly opposed Roe v. Wade, would take the case. …”
