They usually wait to the end for the most momentous decisions. Roe was huge obviously but if they actually follow through and kill the EPA then that’s actually even huger because it means they’re willing to just end vast regulatory agencies and make entirely toothless whole titles of federal law. If they kill EPA they’re signaling they’re willing to just eliminate things like department of education to just strike down all of title IX for example

American leftists are the most beaten down individuals on the planet. Decades of intelligence agencies causing fear in leftist organizations and kneecapping social movements and organization efforts.

Amazing to me that just a few days after the ruling everything is back to normal and even complaining on Twitter about the ruling has dried up.

And we are getting another horrific ruling tomorrow.

McGirt was a big win for tribal sovereignty and this claws some of it back. This allows the state government to assert jurisdiction in a number of cases that by Oklahoma’s interpretation of the previous ruling needed to be handled by federal authorities

Part of it is that the federal court system doesn’t really want to handle (and isn’t resourced to handle) a bunch of criminal cases that the states would usually just take care of outside of tribal lands. So some of it is just that. It’s actually not as bad as it could be because the line up change between 5-4 McGirt and 5-4 now is RBG being replaced by ACB. So Roberts was in the dissent in McGirt and if they wanted to they could have reversed the entire thing

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 democrats don’t have the votes to legalize abortion so the filibuster serves the useful purpose of providing them cover for not holding a vote and exposing the lie that the party considers women’s health care a bedrock issue.

I know someone said the right wants to recreate feudalism but feudalistic cultures that were remotely successful had socially reinforced cultural expectations of duty and honor codes on the part of the nobility/warrior class and the modern bastion of American conservatives equivalent to the minor noble class, the American warrior cop, would rather die of plague than endure inconvenience or risk getting shot while children are being executed.

The idea of the warrior code is a romantic era fiction that has not in any single feudal society actually held true when the chips were down, op

Yeah I'm going to engage in some unwarranted sympathy for the chuds and say that a lot of them are basically capable of empathy in theory, but their ideology and interests prevent them from actually exercising it. Compare the libs who were briefly genuinely horrified by policy brutality, but then the party line shifted back to the norm and they got spooked by a largely fictitious crime wave and whoops all down the memory hole

it would actually be very bad in an immediate sense because gold is inherently deflationary, meaning all of your debt effectively grows every year on top of the interest! that’s why we got rid of it in the first place, farmers were taking out seasonal loans to prepare their farms and still couldn’t pay them back even with high yield harvests, because the dollar price of their crops got smaller and smaller but their loans were still the same amount. in other words: lmao if you think paying off student debt is hard now

Correct, and furthermore in a deflationary environment the most logical thing to do with any spare cash you have is hoard it indefinitely. Why spend a dollar today when it'll be worth more tomorrow? This applies to businesses as well, there becomes minimal incentive to invest and grow a business rather than simply hoarding excess liquidity. What happens to a capitalist economy when people with money stop spending it? :thunk:

Yes, it's often bullshit but in most military/warrior societies, even today, there's a strong emphasis on duty and self-sacrifice reinforced informally and formally. Even the US military still has some of that, an infantry troop in a combat would actually be expected and would be punished if they failed to follow an order that would probably kill them unless it was clear the order was very stupid or counterproductive to the unit as a whole.

While many nobles obviously just abuse their position like any other elite caste, Japanese samurai did sometimes actually literally stab themselves to death for the sake of honor codes, and I'm sure many or maybe most of their European counterparts honestly believed and acted upon the belief that willingness to face death was the flip side of their privileged, and enforced that on other nobles.

American cops and courts on the other hand explicitly reject the idea that cops and any police paramilitary force should ever not prioritize themselves their safety over the mission, their comrades, or civilians, which is very funny to me given their self-perception.

People forget just how extremely bitchmade most law enforcement in the United States is. Despite the whole BLM protests being ultimately ineffective, from the perspective of the police despite being equipped heavier than most Navy SEALs and having institutional support and near total legal immunity for their actions against protests and riots that were almost always poorly armed and organized, they were utterly terrified and quitting rates went through the roof.

Dorner a just one capable lone "insurgent" overwhelmed pretty much all the departments in the entire southern California region during the couple of weeks he was active sniping and ambushing cops in the city.

The tiny upside of the absurd legal protections cops have enjoyed means that they're totally unable to enforce the discipline and instill an actual military-like culture required to make an effective force, which makes them utterly non-functional and bitchmade whenever they act as a paramilitary force at scale.
