It’s a shame that the SUPREME COURT is the highest court in the land.
That headline is like saying “Well our team scored the most 3-point shots” as if somehow that negates the fact that the final score is what determines who wins a game. People are trying to gloss over the fact that the SC determines the law of the land and they are simply trying to latch onto these smaller (and probably meaningless) victories because if anything gets challenged and ends up in front of the SC, it won’t win.
Not at all. The majority opinion in Dodd clearly states that the issue should be decided at the state level, so even if a case somehow did make it to the SC, they would almost certainly decline to hear it since the matter, as far as they’re concerned, is already settled. In that event the last ruling stands and cannot be further appealed.
I remember when Roe was “settled law”, too. They’ll hear whatever they want if it lets them achieve their political goals. Remember that at least one Justice (Thomas?) was on record basically asking for more abortion cases to get to the SC so they could decide on them. He got his wish.
The supreme court doesn’t make laws. Congress can protect abortion rights. Obviously elections determine the make up of Congress, but ultimately they determine who is on the supreme court too. If Trump weren’t elected, protections provided by RvW would have been secure for decades.
SC determines if a law is constitutional and in today’s court, right wing tomfoolery is legal while everything else, no matter how sane and logical, can get struck down.
This was very obvious to many of us years back. As you said, if that clown Trump wasn’t elected this would have been all a non-issue for decades.
With their overturning Roe, completely ignoring precedent and redefining “standing” to include hypothetical fantasies (ala, the Web ‘designer’ Lorie Smith who never was asked to create a LGBTQ+ wedding website, but “might have to someday”), they are indeed making laws.
I was hoping that getting the vaccine would let me shoot Jewish Space Lasers out of my eyes, but all the vaccine did for me was make me ruin my credit cards every time I try to swipe them! 😕
I’m actually fine with this. I know it’s not everyone’s experience, but, for me, seeing a movie in a theater beats seeing it on my TV every time. You just can’t match that level of immersion at home.
While we always have to do the science, mRNA vaccines basically come off as the most minimally invasive and likely the safest way to formulate any vaccine that can work like this.
My feeling is that there just has not been enough education about how such a vaccine actually works.
Most of the Magats were always terrible people who never once lived like Jesus. Now they actually have someone’s name to say who they model their lives after
I recognize I’m insignificant in reality so let me just go ahead and adopt these beliefs that make me feel otherwise, that’s better, ahhh sweet hatred.
Amazing it took this long! Must have been some creative accounting.
COVID, the CCP red lining capital rules, and the housing price collapse started 2 years ago. So congrats to Country Gardens for hiding this for 24 months.
China is going through their 2009 housing collapse now. It’s going to be worse than 2009, at least for China, due to the combination of factors of the post pandemic world.
I've said this before, but Musk just never grew beyond adolescence. [Tesla models S3XY! 42069 amirite! Ligma! Tesla fart noises! hahahahaha!] Which is a real problem because he was raised as a socially-ignorant rich white boy in full-apartheid South Africa.
Isn’t this the same for pretty much all politicians? Check out all of their funds youll find more of the same. Clean everyone out…set the age limit to like 60 for all forms of government. What the fuck!
