Maybe watch the rally? I watched the whole thing live and did not register “lock him up” on my second wacth i heard that some people do chant “lock him up” it doesn’t catch on and is drowned out by Ka-Ma-La. You can’t believe everything (anything) you read in a headline.
When a court chooses to kill innocent people, what then is the difference between lawful execution and extra-judicial killings (other than semantics)?
In other words, the court is communicating that it’s OK to kill, regardless of the law. So, the problem they are creating appears to have a built-in solution.
i’ve said it before, but: there will be no civil war. it will be the US military vs whomever they obliterate. if these fat clownshoes cowards think the military (“suckers and losers”) is going to side with the party that risked national security and held up all their promotions over fucking abortions–then good luck i guess
If innocent people are killed by police then it should lead to a federal independent investigation. Don’t care if it was an accident (chasing a suspect) or direct.
And the police department’s policies shouldn’t exonerate them by default. When departments investigate themselves, they just say “our policy encourages the police to kill anyone they see in this situation, so the officer’s actions were in line with our policies.”
Gorsuch came down hard on Bostock, which makes me think he’d be skeptical of overturning Obergefell (which he wasn’t on the court to rule on originally).
Roberts is married to process well enough that I don’t think he can find it in himself to violate stare decisis on a case he was actually chief justice for, even if he did vote against the first time. Plus a lot has changed since 2015, and the court took a hard swing right. The dude has always kinda been that middle man referee, so I think that’s another drop in the “would shoot this down” bucket.
That only leaves Alito, Thomas, Kavenaugh, and Barrett. Alito and Thomas will always vote for the craziest possible position, so they’re right out. Kavenaugh and Barrett are more of a coin toss, but I lean towards them having their own, separate dissent if Bostock is any indication (which Kavenaugh dissented on, but not with Alito and Thomas. Barrett had yet to join.)
So my gut is that this isn’t going anywhere. I’d honestly be surprised if the supreme court even took it up.
I hope you’re right. Otherwise, it would leave the nation in a legal quagmire as marriage would be legally defined differently in different states. And I think that it could also usher in the re-introduction of anti-miscegination laws.
If a prisoner works a day $3.50 and calls cost $0.25/min, then a prisonor can afford a 14 min call for a day’s labor. Yes, these numbers are quite realistic.
Supply maintenance is near zero. Demand is elastic but there’s no alternatives. Max profit is obviously not at the highest prices.
Helping prisoners was never the goal. It’s convenient optics, icing on the cake of profit maximization.
Did you know that the US never abolished effective slavery. It’s perfectly legal for prisoners. Always has been. It’s even in the federal Constitution.
When I was incarcerated the Chaplain was the one to understand this and act upon it. I called a friend, who bought books at a specific store, that the Chaplain picked up, smuggled into prison and left in my cell. He did this about once a month for a year, about a half dozen books at a time.
Mad respect for this man. He made so many people better for just being around. I stayed friends with him until his end. I hope he met his God as he wanted.
