near unanimous, but of course Thomas seems to think cursing is naughty
Breyer, please retire.That would make a great T-shirt
Thomas, please die.

No.who pronounces it SAL-mon

So what would happen to a qualified Biden SC nominee if the Republicans held a Senate majority?is this a real question?
I think it's way to optimistic to think CT will suffer any consequences, but he can be put on trial right?
can a SCJ keep their seat if they are serving jail time?
I do like seeing this Roberts joined liberals in dissentI did leave out an important part...the part where Citizens United comes in to play
Obama just tried to hard to work with Republicans(https://c.tenor.com/uPBkSw6zo3gAAAAC/animal-house-effed-up.gif)
but I sure hope states watch what schools they acredit.exactly
Just wild these 6-3 decisions considering the GOP has won the popular vote in a Presidential election exactly once in the last 30 years.

Well, the silver lining is that women could interpret a RvW overturn as a tyrannical government revoking their rights, and they can form a well-regulated militia without fear that anyone will take their guns away...didn't see that plot twist

This happens often when I try to engage in conversation about current events. So yes, she os head of the department.
Ugh. It is done.

Ugh. It is done.
next up same sex relationships and marriage, contraception, and gutting the EPA... and once Thomas is off the court inter racial marriage...
Apologies for my grammar which is going to helldon't worry, I've cleared this with Saint Peter...not on the long list of things that would deny entrance

Ok, Dick's. Now pull out of anti-abortion states.
No pun intended?I don't think he meant too...but that's a great pun on this topicOk, Dick's. Now pull out of anti-abortion states.
But here we find Starsky, a Dem, with a totally different contrarian view.
Yes pun intended. Give me some credit man.No pun intended?I don't think he meant too...but that's a great pun on this topicOk, Dick's. Now pull out of anti-abortion states.
Would make a great head line

The Julian voice of reason can only pour it on but so thickly before it seems like a vendetta.But here we find Starsky, a Dem, with a totally different contrarian view.
You find this odd? If find it on brand.
If you had asked me a few years ago - say before the Merrick Garland debacle- if Roe v Wade would be overturned I would have said never. Until these wacky set of events starting with Scalia dying suddenly, Trump threading the needle, Kennedy retiring, RBG dying etc I just didn’t see it as possible. I mean of course I knew RBG could die but having these four events take place within four or five years seemed incredibly unlikely but here we are….
I think I and many Americans are in shock at this point and there is just a feeling of powerlessness and inevitability to all of it and it just feels like one is watching a horror movie.
“It seeks to conquer as much territory as possible by any means possible.”I 100% believe that is true...they feel like that is what the Dems/liberals are doing to them now and Liberal tears bring them so much joy
Christians would say these minor miracles are all part of God's Plan.with this reasoning, why do they even need to vote, there is no free will
I would argue the opposite
We desperately need to find a way to make less people vote.
is it?I would argue the opposite
We desperately need to find a way to make less people vote.
reminder: we got rid of trump by getting more people to vote, overall.

No we didn’tAll the other shit he said was gibberish...but this nailed it 100%
We won cause we got more people to vote in the right places. We happened to have more votes but that’s irrelevant
And one more thing: forcing people to vote does not sit well with me.I've never advocated this
Take away covid or any number of other things and Trump is re-elected in a walk.take away about 40k people in 3 states and it was trump
Everyone should vote but if they did we would arguably swing more to the right.No one thinks this but you. The Democrats think if 100% of eligible voters, vote, it helps Dems. You see this from their efforts to make it easier to vote.
The key for Democrats is to make it easier for their supporters to vote without doing so for their opponents.Of course. If every Republican in the country got a flat tire on voting day, that would be super great for Dems, but that isn't what we're talking about.
But go to most big urban areas and voting is hell. Outdated machines and huge lines election after election. Democrats expect people to wait in line for five hours sometimes in the freezing cold or rain. We see this time and time again in places like Miami, Philly, Atlanta, Detroit! Coincidentally most of these places have been run my Democrats for 50 years?You're very much showing your ass on this topic. Miami doesn't get to decide how many polling places they have and when to spend money on new machines -- these elections are overseen and funded at the state level where the GOP holds most the executive branches (including critically in most of the states of the cities you list, the Secretary of State's office) and VERY INTENTIONALLY try to make it much harder for urban population centers to vote. Remember those stories in 2020 about exactly one place to early vote in the entire county that included Houston, America's 4th largest city? That's why! The GOP powers that be that control the state designed the precincts this way and try to restrict early voting which would cut down on giant lines that are designed to incentivize people to give up and leave. Same goes for Atlanta/Georgia!

what ever happened to needing to get the middle & independents on your side in order to win?they no longer exist or don't vote
all this talk about goosing your own side's vote, and suppressing the other side's vote is patently undemocratic.Yeah we goose it a little bit. It’s an old circus term. Goose suit.

What's he thinking with this one?
so I think a 'reason' for owning the gun is a weird thing and I don't think that has to be a part of why you are getting a gun
Background checks and red flag laws yes, but a 'reason' just seems silly and I'm sure all you need to say is "for protection'
well I get that...but we are discussing how we do things in the US, so doesn't really matter what they do in Siam

Other countries are case studies on what works and what doesn't. American exceptionalism doesn't apply. We're doing it wrong here.

Affirmative action in college admissions struck down by Supreme Court.
How can a very wealthy society not attempt to redress this?
I hate selfishness…as a basis for what’s right and wrong
But I do think affirmative action in college admissions is dicey….I can’t and never have been able to stomach it much
There has to be a better way but of course many people who use their own personal interest as a basis for what’s right and wrong will oppose anything that benefits a group they are not part of…I can’t see people who oppose affirmative action supporting reparations! Or support devoting far more resources to school districts in poorer black areas than richer white areas…
Yet, a terrible wrong was (and in less dramatic fashion continues to be) done to a group of Americans. How can a very wealthy society not attempt to redress this?
No interest in debating with you cause I know your thinking…
The black experience being forcibly removed from their homes, enslaved, raped, separated from families, and endless horrors cannot be compared to that of white people. Not to mention hundreds of years of ongoing discrimination. It is not in the same universe of injustice. If you don’t see or recognize that I feel very sorry for you.
Affirmative action — as it has been applied for decades — is an imperfect tool. It should include poor people of any race. It should include many other groups that don’t fit the narrow defined goal of diversity it includes. But being imperfect doesn’t mean we should throw it out; it needs iterated upon.
I am typing on my phone and it’s a pain…Does anyone else type their posts on their phone?
