Atelier Vilt & Verf• Dit wollenschilderij met daarop Amy Winehouse is de eerste van een reeks van drie schilderijen met daarop vrouwelijke iconen uit verschillende tijdperken. De overeenkomsten van de drie vrouwelijke iconen zijn: 1. Buitengewoon getalenteerd en beroemd. 2. Strijd met persoonlijke problemen (verslaving, relaties, mentale gezondheid). 3. ⁠Media aandacht. 4. ⁠Tragisch en vroeg overleden. 5. ⁠Postume verheerlijking en culturele status (iconen van hun tijd, van hun levens zijn documentaires en boeken, inspireren nieuwe generaties). Kun jij al raden welke twee vrouwelijke iconen er nog bijkomen?

Chuck DarwinThey also used the network to line their own pockets. Over the next few years, their personal wealth would skyrocket as they skimmed off tens of millions of dollars in advisory fees. These pools of dark money were also used to boost various initiatives directly or indirectly that were associated with Opus Dei: the Catholic Association, the Catholic Association Foundation, Catholic Voices USA, and the Catholic Information Center on K Street, where Leo now sat on the board, all became beneficiaries of this largesse. During the Donald Trump years, conservatives — led by Leonard Leo — took control of the Supreme Court. Following the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to replace Antonin Scalia, two more seats had become vacant during Trump’s presidency, allowing him to create a solid conservative majority. One of those seats had become vacant just weeks before the election, following the unexpected death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Leonard Leo was once again asked to help find a replacement. At one Federalist Society event, his good friend Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas jokingly referred to Leo as the third most powerful man in the world, presumably behind the pope and the president of the United States. “God help us!” Leo had responded. But following Ginsburg’s death, not even God could rein in his ambition. Rather than offer a concession candidate, given the proximity of the election, Leo put forward <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Coney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Coney</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Barrett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Barrett</a>, a protégé of Antonin Scalia who was openly hostile to Roe v. Wade. It was no coincidence. A few months earlier, Thomas E. Dobbs, the Mississippi health officer, had lodged an appeal at the Supreme Court after the Jackson Women’s Health Organization — Mississippi’s only abortion clinic — had successfully challenged a state law that banned abortions after fifteen weeks. An injunction against the state’s enforcing the law had already been upheld by two separate courts, but a Dobbs win at the Supreme Court directly challenged the premise of Roe v. Wade and created the opportunity the Catholic right had craved for so long to overturn almost fifty years of abortion rights. Coney Barrett was confirmed on the Supreme Court just eight days before the election, critically giving the court a strong anti-abortion bias as the case was being considered.

That we must suffer Vance daily in the news is bad enough. That America’s sweetheart has somehow been dragged into all this is, on top of everything else, frankly intolerable. @Brooke

But in distancing herself from both blocs in Monday’s nominally unanimous Supreme Court decision rejecting a constitutional challenge to former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility to hold office, she staked out a distinctive role.Justice Barrett was the third of Mr. Trump’s appointees, rushed onto the court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arriving just before the 2020 election. But she is viewed as one of the more moderate members, relatively speaking, of the court’s six-member conservative supermajority. At oral arguments, she can convey a mix of intellectual seriousness and common sense.In public appearances, she is adamant that the court is apolitical, though she sometimes says so in venues that undercut her message. In 2021, for instance, Justice Barrett told an audience in Kentucky that “my goal today is to convince you that this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks.” -- She was speaking at the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center, after an introduction by Senator <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mitch</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/McConnell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#McConnell</a>, Republican of Kentucky and the minority leader, who helped found the center and was instrumental in ensuring her confirmation.
