The perfect dictatorship is not communism, nor the USSR, nor Fidel Castro; the perfect dictatorship is Mexico. Because it is a camouflaged dictatorship."

Why are people at all surprised or acting like this is some new trend? Did you really have respect for the Court as a staid and impartial institution 10-15 years ago? I haven’t held the Court with any respect for like 30+ years lol The Court of Brown vs. Board is long long gone

Because the Major Questions doctrine poo poo is pretty new and has ripped the veil off even the thinnest legal rigor? I dunno, part of it is that I am older and much more aware of the awful poo poo they are doing (and I’m aware that recency bias is a thing) but it really loving sucks to live through the backlash of one of the few periods of measurable legal progress in this country. But yeah, things have always been awful. Still not a fan.

Breyer (GOP nom but dem hero) coined the major questions phrase in 1986 according to good ole Wikipedia. Lines up with my 30-40 year timeline despite it being more of a focus lately. The Court has always found a way to do what it wants, it’s just the bullshit branding that changes over time.

Did you really have respect for the Court as a staid and impartial institution 10-15 years ago? Its been conservative for sure, but now its being full on regressive. The big issue with todays ruling about LGBT rights is that its based entirely on a hypothetical, there is literally no aggrieved party or injury. In the past, you had to show some kind of damages in order for a lawsuit to go through, let alone to get to the highest court in the land. Monetary, bodily, or infringement on a right were all a minimum requirement. With todays ruling "I just don't like that" is now a valid excuse to overturn a law. With Roe v. Wade it was considered settled law until it wasn't. Loads of cases went up to the court that were ruled to be consistent with Roe and now Roe is meaningless. The other thing is that there wasn't mounds of evidence of straight up grift going on where multiple justices are receiving millions of dollars nakedly and ruling in the favor of the donors. So again, it was always seen as a conservative institute just one that wasn't straight up corrupt.

Tangentially related, I've noticed in my office there's about five people who have only child zoomers, who all had free rides to college from their parents, and all dropped out and are just giant man/woman-babies that go from one emotional crisis to the next and cannot figure out how to run their own lives. I can't help but think this is this the end result of helicoptered only children. Or maybe it's just a lovely anecdote.

Historically the SC has been a very conservative institution, much morose than the other branches. The period from the 50s till 80s was more the exception, set in place by a string of Democratic presidents and moderate Republicans like Eisenhower. What we're seeing now is unfortunately a return to the norm.

I dunno, aren’t zoomers are of an age where they’re supposed to be in emotional crisis and unable to figure out how to run their own lives? It’s called being in your teens/twenties!

Pron on VHS posted:Paper white emits blue light but not as bad as other tablet devices You can def redshift the light for night time, at least on mine which is the newest generation it accounts for that. At a loss for why cancelling student debt and other forms of relief isn't just a layup for folks to engage a generation of voters. My student loans will be paid off in December, 17 years later and I'd hope everyone with debt wouldn't have such a long journey to getting out from under it.

I don't know what about the last 2 years of his administration doesn't suggest that it's a group of people attempting to do everything they can with the two other branches they're working with, and when possible they've signed progressive legislation and done what's possible with EOs. Even the railroad unions thing which at the time was very  but it turns out they continued to work behind the scenes to get a better deal.Biden is old and like everyone else I wish he wasn't the only option, but thus far seems surrounded by competent people doing the actual work.

Yeah, I would agree with this assessment. I will have mad respect for Biden if in his announcement today he says something along the lines of "let the Supreme Court collect the debt then". The biggest criticism is that he hasn't done enough and there are more things he could do, theoretically, but I do understand the logic of a step wise escalation to force things through the courts until you either get what you want, or you just tie it up indefinitely. Its still disappointing to know that the Court doesn't care about anything other than the case outcome and will break every legal precedent known to man to arrive at the conclusion.

I would also feel respect for this admin, but color me pessimistic when they couldn’t even respond to Roe v Wade repeal with legislation while holding the executive and both houses of congress. Just more breathless fundraising emails going straight to my junk folder.

They aren’t actually interested in winning elections, because minority reps and senators have as many opportunities to make insider trades as the majority does.

Lmao, I put that one on the parent, my reaction would be “lol sucks to be you have fun with that”, but maybe I’m a dick like that. Actually one of my kids (work client, not my literal offspring) wanted a tattoo removal, we’ve got some resources for that sort of thing but it’s usually limited to CSEC (trafficked) kids who were marked by their abuser. I did a little finagling and got the $1400 together, since I didn’t want her to deal with her dumb choice made to get illegally inked at 16 for the rest of her life, yet we’re not even 1 session deep and she already went out, got several stick and pokes from a buddy, and deeply regrets them. Sorry kid, you got one freebie, the rest are an object lesson in natural consequences, sure hope you don’t get sick from a non hygienic needle!
