That sort of thing should hardly come as a surprise anymore. After decades of republicans putting downward pressure on government salaries and demonizing government in general, whatever we're paying people that are supposed to have the education, experience, and qualifications to regulate basically ANY complex industry isn't nearly enough. Aviation safety, securities regulation, you name it. Government is a four letter word to republicans and they've done their absolute best trying to create the view that it's a dumping ground for people not good enough to cut it in industry. Thus all our continuous problems.

probably none, since high cap mags can be trivially purchased in any of the states that border CA, as well as online shipped to CA illegally-but-pretty-easily?

I wonder if this means my state's ban will shortly follow (challenges already in the wokrs, our stae DoJ opposes the law on the grounds that as written it's "basically unenforceable and then I can get larger ruger mags again..."

That said, it turns out that it is enforceable when you're such a right-wing pos chud that your own wife calls the police to report you for going across state lines to buy high-cap mags :getin:

lol imagine thinking we shouldn't pack the court.

quote:

Why did Gorsuch drag Ray into this unrelated case? Recall that Ray did not challenge the method of his execution, as Bucklew did, but rather demanded that Alabama permit his imam to accompany him in the death chamber. (Alabama offered to provide him a Christian chaplain or nothing.) On Feb. 7, in Dunn v. Ray, the court turned Ray away, concluding that he brought his claim too late. Justice Elena Kagan wrote a sharp dissent joined by the other three liberals. (Her dissent was so powerful, and Ray’s claim so strong, that the court reversed course in a similar case involving a Buddhist inmate last week, after Justice Brett Kavanaugh apparently changed his mind about the rights of religious minorities.)

The court’s decision in Ray is old news, it involves a man who is now dead, and it is legally irrelevant to Bucklew. Yet Gorsuch revived the dispute in a passage that sounds both gratuitous and defensive—a likely effort to respond to Ray’s many critics. By doing so, he essentially invited the liberal justices to continue to take thwacks at the court’s widely criticized action in that case.

In dissent, Breyer gladly accepted this invitation. He countered that, contrary to Gorsuch’s assertion, Ray “brought his claim only five days after he was notified of the policy he sought to challenge.” His lawsuit was not “last-minute”; it was a perfectly punctual response to a new revelation.

Gorsuch shot back that Breyer simply sought to “relitigate Dunn v. Ray,” then launched into a defense of the decision. According to Gorsuch, Ray was at fault because he misread an Alabama statute allowing an inmate’s spiritual adviser to “be present at an execution.” Ray should have guessed that his prison had a secret regulation interpreting this law to exclude all but a Christian chaplain from the death chamber. Moreover, Ray should have compelled the prison to share this confidential rule, which he could not have known about because it was concealed from inmates, at an earlier date.

Convinced? Neither was Breyer, who accused the majority of paying “too high a constitutional price” to ensure Ray’s swift execution. Nor was Sotomayor, who condemned Gorsuch’s “wholly irrelevant” suggestion “that late-occurring stay requests from capital prisoners should be reviewed” as “presumptively suspect.” When the court views these appeals with “an especially jaundiced eye,” Sotomayor wrote, it makes terrible mistakes—as it did in Ray.

“Even today’s belated explanation” for the Ray decision, Sotomayor continued, “rests on the mistaken premise that Domineque Ray could have figured out sooner that Alabama planned to deny his imam access to the execution chamber.” Gorsuch’s contention that Ray should have somehow divined secret prison regulations excluding his imam remains “profoundly wrong.” Perhaps a less rushed and skeptical assessment of Ray’s appeal would’ve persuaded the court’s conservatives that, in fact, his constitutional rights had been flouted.

Being in a relationship with a vegetarian veterinarian has almost kinda got me wanting to stop eating mammals. I'm thinking about it anyway. Pigs are smart and cute, and cows, well they're not especially bright but that's a lot our doing and even so they're still pretty sweet animals. Probably the right time to be considering it.
