The brief order did not detail the court’s reasoning, as is typical, but says three justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — would have sided with Oklahoma.
Of course those asshats did. They don’t care about the law or the constitution, just their feels.
GOP: I'm gonna do WHATEVER I want whenever I want up to and including KILL YOU AND FUCKIN CIVIL WAR if you try to stop me
Also GOP: Whoa whoa whoa, where's my entitlement thing you were supposed to give me, this isn't fair! More pls. Give more. I need it and you're supposed to give it to me.
It's like living with a teenager in the house who also for some reason has a handgun.
Human rights isn’t a game of picking sides where they don’t matter if your own side is violating them. Though for most voters that sure seems to be the case.
If only there was some term for a group of people glorifying and praising every aspect of something in a cult-like fashion…
I find this to be a bit ridiculous. Telegram isn’t the only method of communication. If they take it down, there are already a lot of alternatives. And more can be made in a week. It’s not hard to encrypt messages ffs.
The death toll related to genocide or political repression in China over the past century could range between 20 million and 50 million or more, depending on how the events are categorized and interpreted.
The total number of deaths caused by genocide, political repression, and civilian casualties from German actions during the past 100 years is estimated to be between 30 million and 37 million people (with the overwhelming majority occurring during World War II and under the Nazi regime).
So if we compare apples to… bigger apples, they don’t look that dissimilar. The only difference to me is that China has largely gotten away with it.
Just saw John McCain’s grave at Annapolis on the same day we went to Arlington. Got a private tour of the highest ranked graves. Most incredible thing? He’s only buried there bc his best friend, a fellow naval officer, vouched for him and pulled strings to have him buried there.
It was so dope. I’m the only civilian to have accurately pointed at a headstone and said “isn’t that the dude who blew up a train bridge inland, defying the jurisdiction of the navy??”
Yes, Lefty’s love America and are actual Patriots.
Pussy. Go on, Elon. Make your companies play chicken with a national government. I’m sure every other national government out there will definitely back you up, because making a company above the law (without paying the requisite bribes) is DEFINITELY something that national governments want to normalize!
Starlink satellites are (quite literally) above the law. Until Brazil develops a space force to go seize them out of orbit, it seems like Elon can do whatever the fuck he wants.
The links require a station on the ground, and services must be paid for monthly. Those are two things a local government can control pretty effectively.
Clinics cannot use federal family planning money to pay for abortions, but they must offer information about abortion at the patient’s request, under the federal regulation at issue.
Okay, so women who ask about abortion must be given information about it. I assume, in Oklahoma, that information is “get out of state.”
Oklahoma argues that it can’t comply with a requirement to provide abortion counseling and referrals because the state’s abortion ban makes it a crime for “any person to advise or procure an abortion for any woman.”
Seems like there’s a super simple solution to this problem.
The administration said it offered an accommodation that would allow referrals to the national hotline, but the state rejected that as insufficient.
I assume that “rejected that as insufficient” means “gave the feds the bird”?
Oklahoma says it distributes the money to around 70 city and county health departments for family planning, infertility help and services for adolescents. For rural communities especially, the government-run health facilities can be “the only access points for critical preventative services for tens or even hundreds of miles,” Oklahoma said in its Supreme Court filing.
Again, seems like a super simple way to fix this, assuming, you know, that !OK actually wants to help its citizens, and isn’t just granstanding for political points or something.
