My weekly law lmao comes from reading Thomas' lone dissent in the Brandi Levi case sure to be discussedquote:In a dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the school was right to suspend Levy because students like her "who are active in extracurricular programs have a greater potential, by virtue of their participation, to harm those programs." Callow Youths critically damaging our hallowed institutions of learning and fitful sporting with their profanity-laced screeds, delivered to their chums at the local indoor walking-mall: as much, or more of a perfidy than denials of Christ at sock-hops and at the local soda fountain? Local septuagenarian offers his wizened input.

The whole part where you aren't allowed to film or picture the supreme court literally doing supreme court things on behalf of the entire nation is a strangely large part of their increasingly undeserved mythos as a noble arbitration body above the realm of petty politics and i am super for having cameras on

it seems like it should be a much bigger deal what the supreme court actually just went and did, considering that today strom thurmond is smiling up from hell, tears in his eyes, saying "thank you ... thank you for stopping what i couldn't" like i'm not wrong to think that this essentially renders the VRA a dead letter, yeah

Lol this is like an answer to the question of "is there anything conservatives could do to hypothetically prevent the midterms from being a guaranteed victory for them? Anything lovely and brazen enough that it puts things back in play?" The timing is superbly arrogant

Carillon posted:I wish I had your confidence that this won't benefit the conservative turnout and election results. I have confidence in nothing except this being absolutely loving nuts It could be one of those lightning strike galvanizing once in a lifetime opportunities for the dems and you'll never catch me insisting that it'll shake them into meaningful action lol But what's extra super crazy about it is that the Supreme Court just dead-handed themselves into being a nakedly partisan institution, in the eyes of the general populace. Like they literally did the wizard court thing, that's what this does. Illegitimate supreme judiciary is not something to look forward to

eSports Chaebol posted:I do have to admit I thought they would be more gradual. Like Roberts probably would rather have whittled down Roe and wait to strike it down completely until after a few rulings weakening its precedent. I mean he’s the probably gonna write a separate pro-life dissent for this. Roberts is the most terrified by this event because his legacy was to keep the Supreme Court legitimate and his actions were precise in adhering to this goal and this is the moment where it is clear he cannot do this and he has failed

Fuschia tude posted:I like how when I said the court was going to do exactly this after RBG died two years ago I got nothing but dismissive responses. I think there was a reactionary response to it based on the idea of the Supreme Court as Roberts has cultured it. There was an inability to fully comprehend that the new balance of power was now held by insane Christian cultists who network in prayer groups and think federally guaranteed access to contraception is a devil hell sin, much less "abortion for all who need it" and much like with GWB plowing face first into Iraq as Magog, they are acting as agents of a just God who will work the path out for them. That's how you end up doing this. You think God will make it work out. Just do the thing, and the theo-moral apparatus of the physical universe will render this path unto victory. Thus: the imperial wizard court

Tiler Kiwi posted:Does shaming voters work, or is it just a way to ignore the problems of an implicitly anti democratic system in favor of a moral parable? Id be down with it if it was actually demonstrably effective at all. Shaming voters accomplishes nothing but making more non-voters, especially when their complaints about antidemocratic impediments designed to keep the 'wrong votes from mattering are extremely valid Simultaneously though leftists obsessively convincing other leftists not to vote is just doing legwork for the most terrible people in the country so I have little better to say about it as a personal crusade

being raised by someone like musk's dad will gently caress you up enough, but then you add on top of that the thing that billionaires do whether they know it or not where their lives begin to curate around only those who appeal to you by gladhanding, nervous emotional accommodation, and straight up sycophantry even just a few years where people don't wanna talk over or correct you because they want to be cool with cool billionaire guy will gently caress you up unless you have a sufficiently self aware, humble, and protectively cynical nature, and the children of the super rich don't get this, they get "these are real people, these are clean my house and stay invisible people" we don't need to go hunting through the DSM for which type of neurodivergence it represents imo

Like i know there is a super duper ready to go community of conservative judicial explainers around the country that would definitely jump at the chance to come and explain to me why the dissent isn't exactly as dumb as it looks and that I must be a not law understanding fool to not agree with their dissent, which is fascinating to me because it looks very painfully dumb on its face

This court simply cannot prosecute this white supremacist for organizing violent attacks on minorities and assaulting the police ... unless you bring me an equal number of antifa who did just as many bad things. It's called fairness look it up. This shall stand as my official ruling as the honorable donkeybrain von dusterhuffer the fourth
