Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread
The text of the Constitution broadly lists out what the President does. Those things would presumably be protected then. If he does other thing outside of that, then they wouldn't be protected. It also brings up the question then of suing the President specifically or suing the government as a whol...

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
Is pro Hamas. The Palestinian people OVERWHELMINGLY elected Hamas, and overwhelmingly support Hamas. In WWII in the US if you were pro Germany them you were pro NAZI. Wait…are we shifting this from US campuses to Palestinians now? Or are you implying that any support of the Palestinians by anyone i...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread
I'm curious where any of this concern over originalist principles over Presidential immunity comes from? I didn't hear a lot of backtracking or cognitive dissonance in last week's SCOTUS hearing. It's pretty clear that Trump's laughable/troubling idea of complete immunity has no chance of standing,...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread
I disagree, having watched an M-16 blow right through a telephone pole at close range. They would do that in basic because at the time there was still a lot of people spreading the word that the rifle jammed easily and was unreliable in combat. According to the Drills the problem was not the M-16 i...

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
At some point occupying a public space crosses the legal line too. I'm all for protests, but there are legal and illegal ways to do it. Want a rally? Get a permit. Want to set up in some public space and make it inaccessible to others? Probably illegal. If you don't leave after repeated asks to lea...

We'll see. This is going to be a super tight election and neither leading candidate is in good shape right now. And really, it just comes down to the 5 or 6 purple states. Easy to see how either side can win this fall. Trump’s numbers have peaked. He’s hardly campaigning other than tweets. There’s ...

This ain't the case to do that. How is whether Trump was using the National Enquirer to steer news stories in an election 8 years ago going to really elicit reactions from folks? The first reaction I had was "the National Enquirer still exists?". Get to the good stuff, i.e. letting loose ...

Let's be honest, from an objective point of view this actually worked.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
My point exactly. And in the broader picture, end tables that fall apart aren’t as cost efficient as ones that hold up for decades. Not to mention the environmental, labor rights, and global trade ramifications. At some point you’re efficiently encouraging non-sustainability and rewarding bad buyin...

Efficient is also in the eye of the beholder, well, the consumer really. If I don't care that the end table falls apart quickly am I really being inefficient? It serves my need.
