Main Paineframe posted:

the entire history of the Reconstruction amendments has been a ceaseless struggle between Congress and the courts, one that's usually been pretty one-sided due to political division in Congress

those amendments explicitly grant Congress the simple and broad power to pass laws to enforce them as they see fit, likely for the explicit purpose of preventing the Court from using "states rights" as an excuse to strike down civil rights laws. the Supreme Court absolutely never gave the slightest gently caress about that, and spent the next 150 years trying to narrow and erode that authority whenever possible. and with the Southerners allowed back in Congress, there was never sufficient political will to challenge the Court over it

everything is a mess

 Yeah, even history textbooks say "yeah this war's causes were made up, this is an example of Yellow Journalism where the press is used to fabricate events to manufacture consent"

i'm p sure somethingawful is the only place where people are "yes, give us more nuclear power".

related: if lowtax wants some easy cash i'm sure there's some power companies willing to rent posters as lobbyists

It's common among power nerds. That we're not researching thorium salt reactors with everything we have is ridiculous

http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2018/may/16/randy-bryce/randy-bryce-has-never-held-public-office-his-4th-r/ hah hah why do people trust sites like these?

For those who didn't click, Politifact rates Bryce's claim that "he's not a politician" as mostly false because he's ran for office before.

This is the dumbest loving thing
