The Warszawa posted:I can't see any of the NFIB Four voting to uphold this mandate and I feel like Roberts is going to swing with them this time, that infinite fucker - I don't see him siding against the nebulous soundbyte of "religious freedom." Then again, my analysis may be clouded by my complete and utter hatred of him. I wonder if Mormons will be able to fire racial minorities since our inferiority is part of their sincerely held religious belief, and us gays are super hosed even in the few states that have passed anti-discrimination laws.

Personally I've never understood why SCOTUS isn't covered by CSPAN, they're public servants doing a job for the public and we should get to watch while they're on the clock.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Totally bullshit. It's a specious reading of the law that makes no sense given the statute as a whole, and you have to actually want ACA to fail in order to reach the conclusion that they did. Yeah I wouldn't expect the ruling to survive en Banc or at SCOTUS.

Raenir Salazar posted:I've always thought this as well, at least because you can die in a way that spites your executioners as much as possible by looking them dead in the eye. Nah they put a bag over your head specifically to prevent this. Also one of the rifles is loaded with blanks so the shooters can all believe they weren't the ones who actually killed you. Wouldn't want them to feel bad after all.

UberJew posted:None, because that poo poo would not hold up against a 24th amendment challenge. They're just universally a pain in the rear end to get for free, in Kansas for example you need to go through a process to get a birth certificate before you can register and a second process to get a free ID so you had better remember to do it long enough before the election to get it done and have the free time to do it. And there's no way to get a free both certificate in most states without the order of a judge or someone high up at the record keeping agency.

rscott posted:Can't we just give people massive doses of pure morphine or something? Or is Bayer gonna stop selling that to us too and we'll have to source heroin from afgani warlords to make sure we can kill people correctly. Every major drug manufacturer to date has refused to allow any of their drugs to be used for killing prisoners, also the APhA and PCCA have said that if you get caught making or prescribing the drugs your membership might be revoked.

Anyone else see Rick Santorum on Rachel Maddow tonight? He just straight up says that the Supreme Court isn't the final adjudicator of a laws constitutionality and that the other branches are free to ignore their rulings and "pass whatever they want". http://on.msnbc.com/1IjQI9d

Here's a question I've been looking for an answer to in regard to this whole debate, has SCOTUS ever ruled on on a case where both parents did not have legal immigration status? In Wong Ark Kim both his parents had legal status, such as it existed at the time. I'm just wary that if they never ruled on that specific circumstance it might be a loophole large enough for the conservatives on the court to drive through.

computer parts posted:Why are scheduled elections the big boogeyman? Because it forces everyone to focus on the next election to the exclusion of all else. Literally the day after the 2012 election the 2014 campaign started, then the day after that the 2016. Removing scheduled elections and setting a close election date when Congress is dissolved would break that cycle. It would also help, but not eliminate, the influence of special interests especially in the house. MrNemo posted:FPtP doesn't necessarily mean 2 party system although it doesn heavily favour it, almost exclusively so in individual races, which the USA's presidential race heavily rewards. This too, a FPtP winner take all system will always inevitably narrow down to two parties, because the price of voting for a third party is that the party you disagree with the most will win.

computer parts posted:No, it sounds like it would do exactly the opposite. Well it needs to be paired with an overturning of Citizens United and serious campaign finance reform, but allowing Representatives and Senators to give the finger to the NRA without having to worry about being primaried would be worth it.
