I was reading on how Alito's draft opinion unexpectedly uses jurisprudence based on substantive due process, something which is normally anathema to his wing of the Court. That explains the emphasis...

Well of course they are all satisfied. They wanted this. And Ginsburg is dead so she can't see it. But Kennedy let himself be convinced he could retire because Trump admired his legacy, and I...

I hope Kennedy is satisfied with what he's done.

They're not. They're being quite friendly with China.

How odd. You approved of the government doing exactly that, without recourse to the courts, when it was introduced back in 2001. As part of the Patriot Act.

But it has absolutely nothing to do...

The documented cleaner doesn't exactly have it easy either. I'd definitely find the free-lance cleaner to get rid of the middle-man overhead, if you're willing/able to pay for the necessary benefits...

Seeing as gender identity is entirely the product of social pressure in the first place. . .

Don't mock them! I know that I'd want a copy of Sim3 in MY terrorist starter pack. It's quite the multi-tool. Helps desensitize you to inflicting suffering, provides a tool for practice, and also...

Because, obviously it's not irrelevant. Gender reassignment is wrong and gender reassignment in minors is child abuse. Permitting someone to question the "gender" assigned to them by God is the...

A democratic process would have done nothing of the sort. It would have just led us here earlier, as some states legalized abortion and others tried to find ways to punish "abortion-tourists" as...

I'm in favor of testing myself. There's certainly a great case to be made for not requiring it but if it's allowed for consideration at all then at the top schools it's going to end up a de facto...

Well, it HAD certainly reached the end of its operational life at that point, so it makes sense that they planned to just let it sink.

Russian reports are that it was being towed and sank in a storm. Truly, that part of the Black Sea is known for its dangerous clear-day, calm-water storms.

I read today that Russia was warning that Finland and Sweden should not seek to be fast-tracked for NATO membership because it could destabilize the region. Thought, "you know, if the "stability" of...

But they're saying what he wants them to say! If he checks for that, and they are lying, then what good does that do him?

Thought about it but it wasn't worth replying to something he wrote three years ago and built entirely on the most incredibly vague generalizations. You were in that thread when he first spewed that...

I agree with GGT that Helena's post sounds made up. But sure, there's going to be a degree of what you allege, Lewk. It's already true to a degree among adults, though not for the reasons you fear...

Because there's no enforcement mechanism, no system for holding them to it beyond being removed from the position by Congressional impeachment. And actually, it's not limited to SCOTUS justices. ...

Definitely a situation where an ethical person should have recused themselves

He may do so but I have to wonder why he's bothering if they do bring them up and commit them. They're not necessary for a settlement that secures Russian minimum objectives now (and Russia and...

While I'm in agreement with everything you said before this line, I'm gonna caution against this conclusion. It may be the case but it's a bit too sweeping and absolute an explanation with too many...

This IS Lewk. He is someone who, despite championing using a flat sales tax rather than an income tax, loudly objected to the idea of there being a sales-tax on very high end luxury items like trips...

Well, he triggers you and that's a mitigating circumstance. . .

I finally heard what I think might be a good explanation for that. Russia has substantially underinvested in mobile ELINT and associated C&C links. They lack a robust (read: loss-resistant)...

You have to be willing to look at it from Carlson's perspective, Aimless. Ukraine was offered a chance to help Trump steal the election and they refused. If they'd helped keep him in power, he'd be...
