credo , in President Biden Announces Bold Plan to Reform the Supreme Court and Ensure No President Is Above the Law.

This whole “every two years” new justice thing is really bothering me. Did he say that or is the journalist taking liberties?

I wonder because that timing will fly straight out the window the minute someone retires early or dies. Does the next Justice get a shorter term? A longer one? Does the seat go empty for a time? Do we end up having cycles of presidencies that get to appoint 3 or 4 justices in one term?

Bah- this will keep me up tonight, I just know it.

Senokir ,

Not sure what the solution would be that is proposed by the legal experts but it seems to me that we already have a system for dealing with that for the office of the president in the form of vice presidents etc taking over if they die. Not that you should have to have an entire chain of people ready to take over for every SC justice but rather, if one dies or retires or whatever before their 18 years is up then a replacement can be appointed to finish the remainder of their term.

Corkyskog ,

I don’t even know why we need specific appointments for the seats. Just rotate judges from the lower courts through.

criitz ,

Every 2 years the longest-standing justice would be replaced, if they have served at least 18 years. Since there are nine justices this means each will get an 18 year term exactly. Any early exits would just mean you skip the next cycle. That’s how I’d imagine it anyway.

rhombus ,

I imagine it will be the seat itself is reappointed on a fixed schedule, that would function most similarly to the Presidency or Congress. The replacement be more or less an “acting” Justice to finish the term.

eestileib , in Kamala Harris allies deploy new Trump attack line: he is ‘just plain weird’

I think this is to try to achieve two things.

First, criticizing / annoying Trump.

Second, to try to recast Harris as the more mainstream American. Your typical mayo-American suburban mom type’s immediate reaction to Harris is going to revolve around a comparison of skin tones and evaluation of just how other Harris is. Pointing out that Trump is weird implicitly implies that Harris is normal by contrast.

Same reason she’s going to pick some completely uninteresting Generic White Guy as her running mate.

peopleproblems , in Kamala Harris allies deploy new Trump attack line: he is ‘just plain weird’

You know the more I think on this, the other comments are right. The “small hands” thing caused him to flip out.

He is weird. He doesn’t make sense half the time, and seems out of touch with reality - even his supporters. He’s all the other things we have pointed out, but to sum it all together, hes strange. He wants to be the in-group, but his in-group consists of only him. What kind of dude wants to lead a country where he thinks the rest of the country is wrong about everything?

HubertManne , in Kamala Harris allies deploy new Trump attack line: he is ‘just plain weird’

Seriously I can't understand how anyone who has listened to him talk can vote for him and there is no way folks did not hear him at some point during his first tenure. The randomness of it all is so crazy.

Vote but I think it would be absolutely brilliant if Biden uses the immunity to arrest and remove every single person trying to strip our country away. Lock up every last one, including any corrupt judges.

He’s not doing this and people need to stop wish-casting that he would in order to cope with the party’s refusal to oppose Republican policy.

TokenBoomer ,

I’m still voting for Biden. He’s still my favorite write-in candidate for November. Make wish-casting great again. /s

Snapz ,

This isn’t funny. Don’t perpetuate this, even as an /s

Vote for the nominated Democratic candidate, against trump. Period.

TokenBoomer ,

Talk about wish-casting.

troybot ,

If Democrats follow that playbook it only legitimizes it, giving a future Republican administration the green light to do it as well.

The correct response is what we’re seeing from Biden today. Put it down on paper and get it on record who really supports the rule of law

theparadox ,

If Democrats follow that playbook it only legitimizes it, giving a future Republican administration the green light to do it as well.

I 100% agree in spirit. However…

giving a future Republican administration the green light to do it

One of the many problems with American politics is that the Republicans do not need legitimacy or a green light. They’ll fucking do it anyway. They’ll also cry foul if they catch a whiff of a democrat thinking about doing it. Or they’ll just accuse a democrat of doing it and they’ll just use that as justification for doing it first.

They know their policies are wildly unpopular and that they won’t even be able to maintain power by illegitimate minority rule, which they have been doing for decades now.

It’s grab power now or regroup and accept that they’ve lost the culture war. They are not going to go quietly, as recent events and Project 2025 has made crystal clear.

joyjoy , in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ smashes R-rated record with $205 million debut, 8th biggest opening ever

It helps sales when you only sell 3d movie tickets when the movie doesn’t have any good 3d effects.

vaquedoso ,

I went to a 2D showing here, so they definitely were selling them

joyjoy ,

In my theater, there were 4x as many 3d showings as 2d.

vaquedoso ,

It may be a cultural thing, here 3D isn’t as popular so most showings were in 2D.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9321409b-c469-46e0-bb1a-b1643bb244d3.jpeg

joyjoy ,

The majority 3d screenings must’ve been specifically for opening weekend. I guess they thought people watching it on opening weekend are more likely to pay extra for the 3d showings if it was the only option.

vaquedoso ,

That might have been the case where you live. Here there are always more 2d screenings than 3d (including on opening night), since people here think think of 3d as more of a gimmick and usually not worth the extra price

SpaceNoodle ,

I didn’t even know this movie had 3D. I didn’t see a single 3D showing in my area.
