I guess I'd have to move out of the South if I wanted to have a kid. Like, you can't hang around in a state where your partner could just get left to die in an emergency.

I can't wait till the Republicans immediately overturn the filibuster tje first time the dems try to use it and when people ask why they didn't do that the 2 years they had the senate they shrug and say "decorum"

The American people wouldn't stand for such brazen disregard for ... uh ... Robert's Rules of Order

Lmao wait a minute judicial review only exists because the court made it up lmao

From what I understand, lots of countries don't have it.

We're suffering from the effects of the political establishment's decision like 200 loving years ago not to make a big fuss about a huge power grab.

Turns out Alito was probably the source of the abortion leak

https://twitter.com/jodikantor/status/1593945158634070017

quote:

In early June 2014, an Ohio couple who were Mr. Schenck’s star donors shared a meal with Justice Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann. A day later, Gayle Wright, one of the pair, contacted Mr. Schenck, according to an email reviewed by The Times. “Rob, if you want some interesting news please call. No emails,” she wrote.

Mr. Schenck said Mrs. Wright told him that the decision would be favorable to Hobby Lobby, and that Justice Alito had written the majority opinion. Three weeks later, that’s exactly what happened. The court ruled, in a 5-4 vote, that requiring family-owned corporations to pay for insurance covering contraception violated their religious freedoms. The decision would have major implications for birth control access, President Barack Obama’s new health care law and corporations’ ability to claim religious rights.

Justice Alito, in a statement issued through the court’s spokeswoman, denied disclosing the decision. He said that he and his wife shared a “casual and purely social relationship” with the Wrights, and did not dispute that the two couples ate together on June 3, 2014. But the justice said that the “allegation that the Wrights were told the outcome of the decision in the Hobby Lobby case, or the authorship of the opinion of the Court, by me or my wife, is completely false.”

My reading is that it's largely about the use of the heroes act as a shield but doesn't specify that it's not something they can't do, so the secretary can likely still cancel the debt they just have to have the stones to do it and not offer an excuse

I'm sure this court would find a convoluted way to strike it down anyway, but there is a law congress passed that very obviously gives the president the ability to do whatever the gently caress they want on student loans, and Biden didn't go through that method because he doesn't actually want to forgive student debts and was hoping for this exact outcome.

The first Supreme Court had to meet in Congress' basement because the legislature controlled that and wanted to let them know I'm what contempt they were held

We should return to the ways of our forefathers
