Being a recluse has some advantages. Matt Drudge has mastered that role better than most others. One of the advantages is that people tend to actually listen to you when you do say something.
Drudge said several somethings a few days ago, in an Alex Jones interview.
Somewhat into the interview, Drudge revealed this snippet he says came from a Supreme Court justice he had met at a cocktail party in Washington, D.C.: "Matt, it's over for you. We've got the votes for a copyright case."
After this tidbit, Drudge moved on to other things, but I didn't. This comment raises some very interesting questions about the United States Supreme Court.
Headline linking is a big part of the Internet. It is difficult to see how a publication could be damaged by driving more traffic to its website and, therefore, enabling the copyright holder to sell more advertising at higher rates. Where's the foul? If you didn't want more traffic, why would you not put your publication behind a pay-wall?

Here are my thoughts about the justice's statement related by Drudge:
1) How could the "votes be there" before the case and the evidence were there?
2) Does this imply that the Supreme Court, like all the rest of Washington, D.C., has an agenda? "We have the votes." Would "we" be the unelected justices, or someone else?
3) It sounds like some cases are decided before they are heard. The outcome has been pre-determined. But by whom? And why?
4) Who lobbies the Supreme Court justices? How much money do they spend? Who do they represent? Where are the records?
5) Wouldn't pre-decided cases tend to show shoddy or nonexistent logic, legal overreach and perhaps even fantasy writing?
6) Pre-decided cases might also expose unexpected shifts in the voting records of certain judges who have been reliable votes on either the conservative or liberal side. Have we seen any of these in recent years?
If money and power controls all three branches of American government, where does that leave the rest of us? Is America already a totalitarian state that simply spends a lot of money and time on political theater for the masses and to reward the news media?
