If that executive order (it wasn't a law you nitwit, laws are passed by the legislation) is unconstitutional, then yes, acting in violation of a court order is in fact illegal. It's called "contempt of court," and I'd expect you of all people to be familiar with contempt.

Xander77 posted:Personally, I only find out about Republican talking points in this thread, so... Fair enough  I'll work through it step by step:Antonin Scalia was famous for his doctrine of Constitutional Originalism, aka Original Intent. This doctrine only exists in contrast with common law interpretations of the Constitution, which admit that society is not static, or at the very least is so complex that no legal document can be written to account for every possible interaction. When ambiguities crop up, judges interpret the letter of the law in such a way that you get a sane outcome, at least until the law is amended to clear up that ambiguity. Originalism is basically the same thing, but with a different idea of what outcomes are sane (Decriminalizing sodomy? Why not decriminalize murder while you're at it!) and a spurious claim to being Actually Objective. It's this claim to being Actually Objective that Republicans love, because without an objective principle firmly rooted in the past, you're just being arbitrary! Never mind that Originalism, if it were sincere, would be utterly silent on ambiguities stemming from technological changes, or worse demand completely insane results. The GOP talks a lot about the Constitution being bedrock and rock-solid and immovable as a mountain and the like, in this case playing on: quote:The saying "solid as the Rock of Gibraltar" is used to describe an entity that is very safe or firm.[9] Considering that rhetoric, there's no way that wasn't supposed to be the Rock of Gibraltar, especially since insisting that it's an iceberg results in a nonsensical cartoon. It's still a BAD cartoon, since it's just illustrating a talking point without adding anything, it relies on you already being familiar with the talking point, and Lester committed the Art Crime of drawing something with neither a reference nor practice. Hope this helps someone appreciate this mediocre politoon.

SwitchbladeKult posted:Dude it is blue and surrounded by comic short hand sea symbols like little wavy line waves and wavy line seagulls. There is absolutely no way Lester meant it as the Rock of Gibraltar unless he thinks the Rock of Gibraltar is an iceberg (which is totally within the realm of possibilities for this wife beating hack). I've shown the cartoon to several people without context, one said "Is that supposed to be the Rock of Gibraltar or an iceberg?" Another said "Conservatives think the Constitution is carved in stone" and when I asked him what the specific object in the thought bubble was he said "Rock of Gibraltar, if the Rock of Gibraltar was blue and in the ocean." It's a poo poo illustration for a poo poo cartoon, but it doesn't help anybody to insist that the opposition is mush for brains and are completely unintelligible. Lester isn't terribly bright in justifying his villainy, but his motivation and reasoning are usually pretty clear.

SwitchbladeKult posted:So your friend basically just said "The Rock of Gibraltar if the Rock of Gibraltar was an iceberg". I'm not sure how that helps your case. Okay I'm going to back up, I'm not 100% sure where we're disagreeing. Is your point that the illustration looks more like an iceberg than the Rock of Gibraltar? Because I agree with that. I'm saying that Lester's intention was so clearly the Rock of Gibraltar that multiple people have specifically said that, in spite of the fact that the drawing looks more like an iceberg. It's like Ramirez's "let's raise this" cartoon. The metaphor fails on half a dozen levels, but we say it's a failure precisely because we can tell what Ramirez intended. Otherwise we wouldn't still be talking about it.

mandatory lesbian posted:but it can decrease? where does the heat go tho... If you have a red hot nickel ball and a tub of ice, the heat from the ball will go into the ice and turn it into a tub of lukewarm water. Total energy is the same, but the nickel ball isn't red hot anymore so it can't melt anything else. You can't cool a drink with the ice that is now water. I never took physics so I might be explaining it all wrong or missing something important, I just like Maxwell's demon over the messy desk analogy.
