By the Judiciary Act of 1869, you need at least 6 justices for a quorum.

Have to wait for seal team 6 to break into Alito and Thomas's houses with their murderpillows first, then RBG can resign. Stick to the script.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/south-dakota-becomes-first-state-to-pass-anti-transgender-st#.yuYvOEaeyY South Dakota is the first state to pass the ALEC anti-transgender bathroom bill, awaiting the governor's signature. The Feds have already said these laws are illegal discrimination but that's not stopping many states from jamming identical laws through. Oh, and it's all Obama's fault: quote:Sen. Brock Greenfield said on the senate floor that the legislation is a response to the Obama administration's push for transgender rights in public schools.

How many transgendered people even live in SD? I'm guessing less than a thousand.

I mean if I thought the SD governor looked kinda of butch and I saw them going into a men's restroom, I could call the police and they'd HAVE to strip search him, and any retaliation taken against me would be illegal?

The law states that you must use the bathroom which corresponds to the gender on your birth certificate.

Holy crap the government sucks. It seems like nothing is going to ever get done except slight rule tweaks to enable the rich to get richer. I think that money is literally in charge, is that possible? That America has evolved into nothing but a currency cardiovascular organ? The rich and poor alike mere material exchanging goods and services while our abstraction thereof has grown to control us? This is me before my after work bowl

zoux posted:Technically, but it's a lot bigger difference in the minds of most Americans, as they are aware that SCOTUS justices exist. We have been in a de facto crisis ever since the shutdown, really. Question is just how overt it is. But yeah, it is getting more undeniable every day. At this point our government is just a kind of slow motion train wreck.

Better safe than sorry imho Everyone who voted for this does not get to use a restroom until we can confirm what is on their birth certificate. Each time they want to use one. I wish someone would sit outside both restrooms in whatever building they do their "work" in to check birth certificates. No birth certificate, no bathroom, sorry.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:I believe this is something the Founding Fathers, in fact, did not envision happening. the hilariously optimistic idea was that we would just be too big for any dangerous stupidity (like, heaven forfend, economic justice) to take hold James Madison, Federalist #10 posted:Hence, it clearly appears, that the same advantage which a Republic has over a Democracy, in controlling the effects of faction, is enjoyed by a large over a small Republic,—is enjoyed by the Union over the States composing it. Does the advantage consist in the substitution of Representatives, whose enlightened views and virtuous sentiments render them superior to local prejudices, and to schemes of injustice? It will not be denied, that the Representation of the Union will be most likely to possess these requisite endowments. Does it consist in the greater security afforded by a greater variety of parties, against the event of any one party being able to outnumber and oppress the rest? In an equal degree does the increased variety of parties, comprised within the Union, increase this security. Does it, in fine, consist in the greater obstacles opposed to the concert and accomplishment of the secret wishes of an unjust and interested majority? Here, again, the extent of the Union gives it the most palpable advantage.

Khisanth Magus posted:I must say that the idea of a supreme court that is completely deadlocked and accomplishes as much as congress(in a 4-4 lock, yet again the supreme court doesn't decide what to do and the lower court stands) kind of amusing yet sad. Sounds like a game plan right out of the Republican playbook. Break the federal level and turn the state/local into your feifdom.

Azuth0667 posted:You are correct I was thinking of IBR which forgives student loans after 25 years of consecutive payment. However apparently pre-1991 there was a statue of limitations on student loans. Federal student loans are not subject to a statue of limitations but, private student loans are. What is the statute of limitations on private loans and can you link your source?

Most of the information is on free legal help sites like this: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/is-statute-limitations-private-student-loans.html I haven't been able to find anything from DOE or any case law showing this in action.

ComradeCosmobot posted:You're subsidizing higher-risk people (undergrads themselves, for example) who have taken on loans and who struggle to pay them back. So if the most reliable and credit worthy are leaving isn't it worth it to the government to offer them a lower rate to keep them with government loans instead of going private sector? Stafford loans have better protections than any private student loans so I would stick with my Stafford loans instead of shopping around, which is something I'm considering after I get rid of my consumer debt. cheese eats mouse fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Feb 17, 2016 |
