Demonizing the other side is counterproductive to compromise, in all forms. Dismissing half the country as racist is an excellent way for them to also dismiss your side and exactly why those "proud deplorable" shirts exist in the first place. ilkhan fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 6, 2018 |

Wxhode posted:Why have you been trying to convince people that 1940's America and several EU countries today were/are run by "literal" Nazis? I mean, obviously putting foreigners in concentration camps until they can be sent home is much worse than putting your own citizens in concentration camps (whether or not you kill them), but the comparison still doesn't help. Either that or he needs to look up literal in a dictionary. E: and read a history book about Nazi Germany. ilkhan fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Jul 7, 2018 |

Hieronymous Alloy posted:No, not really. It's a matter of framing. "Abstinence always works" frames all other forms of birth control as failures of the method, but failures of abstinence as personal failures. Which is an ethical judgment, not a scientific measurement; the error rate on condoms is almost entirely user error also. All birth control failures are failures of the method. I'm not at all in favor of abstinence only education. Its bullshit. All the numbers should be provided.

I think, I have to think, that if a loony judge was murdered even the Republicans would nominate a Democrat to replace them and vice versa. I may be wrong, but I hope we never have to find out.

There is a difference between a retiring / natural causes judge and a murdered judge. The day a supreme court judge gets murdered and replaced by an opposite thinking judge our democracy *really* will be dead. And the gloves will be off, and the mob will rule. That will be a dark day. Is it possible? Absolutely. But I have to think we haven't sunk that low yet.

The court's job is to check congress. Saying "this is assigned to congress so the SCOTUS has no role at all" is stupid. Beyond that I have no idea what y'all are talking about on the 15th amendment stuff. Link for info?

The court wasn't running in a constitutional issue, the law was creatively unclear, they were interpreting it. One of their main jobs. To be considered vital habitat it has to be inhabited by the species in question. Not that controversial of a ruling, as it was 8-0.

As I recall they said it was constitutional because it was a tax. The tax part was removed, therefore the constitutionality of forcing people to buy a commercial product is.... TBD.

SCOTUS is supposed to interpret laws according to how congress wrote said law, and ensure that said laws are staying within the boundaries of the constitution. Not to write laws itself or creatively interpret the laws to reach a certain conclusion. Congress should be activist. SCOTUS should not.

An embassy is where, by definition and tradition, most business with a foreign country is conducted. Why wouldn't an embassy be a valid location to mail their foreign minister? Yes, email and electronic messages have replaced most of that, but if you have to deliver paper its going to be the best place to do so. The embassy can forward it along through electronic means as necessary.
