Minority opinion, but I like those style caps. I like that I dont have to hold the cap. It's much easier on the go.

You should see what the archaeologists are up to

My best guess is you'll now need to have your parents and maybe even grandparents birth certificates if they were US citizens. That would be solid proof. If you get to see a judge

You know we're probably very close on the political spectrum.

I've just studied a lot history, and you've basically described the entire debate that's been within the Supreme Court since day 1.

Look at slavery and segregation. They ruled in favor of those several times, and eventually they even reversed their decisions. Like you said the constitution didn't change the court did. I wouldn't say ending school segregation was a rogue act.

I personally hate this court. But I think it is very important to analyze these decisions in the historical context of the court.

Like I said these decisions are terrible for the American people, they will take decades to repair, and cause terrible harm. My hope is we make it out of this and we have true reform of the courts.

Between you and me I'd love to see this whole system torn down, but I'm doubtful that will happen in my lifetime.

And I'll give you the suspension of habeas corpus and they released a multitude of decisions today. Your comment from days ago is now much much more accurate imo based on the decisions of the past 2 days.

And Republican leadership whined when the tea party appeared on the scene.

Now look at where they are. It is possible

I don't know choosing to not feed people when there is enough food to feed everyone seems a lot worse than choosing which people to not feed during a time of famine.

Obviously more people die from the famine, but at least that's due to a lack of resources and not a manufactured scarcity

That would just feed their persecution fetish

I wouldn't say optimism. There's historical precedent for this. Whether or not it will happen I have no idea.

As opposed to the current time of surplus and abundance where it is if "you don't work you don't eat". Which is morally a lot worse considering there is more than enough food to feed everyone

Allow me to introduce you to my friend court packing.

But also in terms of things like Roe, all we need to fix that is a law passed through congress. The court would have no constitutional basis challenging it at that point. If they did it loops back around to justifying court packing.

 

"We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals," Trump told reporters.

Sounds a lot like slavery to me

 

Soon the military will be policing our streets with ICE.

They requested 20,000 thousand troops.
