JonsJava , 4 months ago to news in US Supreme Court sets April 25 Trump criminal immunity argument

You are correct. Mr. Smith’s team requested that the SCOTUS review this months ago. Long before it was brought to them by Trump’s team, as a way to expedite the process, and stop the “play out the clock” approach they take.

Much appreciated. The mods here at !news prefer civil discourse. If we see someone not displaying civility (attacking the person, not the argument), trolling, being racist, sexist, or being a bigot, we will remove a comment.

We try not to let our views skew our moderation, and will reverse removals if we feel we or other mods were acting heavy-handed.

With that said, we appreciate admins of other members of the Lemmy federation stepping in to police users of their instance.

With that said, yes, we have received other complaints about this user, but did not find all the complaints warranted. Some were, and we handled those comments as they were brought to our attention.

We may not agree with all the comments here, but if they follow our rules, they stay.

Both of you need to stop this childish bickering. If you cannot, you will receive a vacation from !news

Leaving comments up because the thread is so long, removing them all would take too long, and none are bad enough to warrant it.

I removed their comment for rule 1 violation, but they aren’t wrong. I used to be homeless (we prefer the term “travelers”). We called ourselves homeless when not using the term traveler, and weren’t fond of the term “unhomed”.

I will be responding to you both, and ask very nicely that you shut this argument down. Moderators don’t want to play man in the middle, and you’re both using the reporting feature to try to win this argument. This stops now, or you both get a week vacation from !news.

JonsJava , 7 months ago to news in Florida teen allegedly shoots, kills sister after argument over Christmas gifts

I wasn’t arguing with you about what they say NOW. I was pointing you to what they literally said THEN.

You said “a well regulated militia didn’t mean the same thing back then”

I merely pointed you to the founders own words to show you that you were wrong.

It wasn’t an amendment. It was baked into the first article.

You pointing out the RECENT supreme court ruling was a bad faith argument against my rebuttal.

JonsJava , 7 months ago to news in Florida teen allegedly shoots, kills sister after argument over Christmas gifts

Your comment has been reported, but as you had links and appeared to be arguing in good-faith, I decided to leave it. With that said, I completely disagree with your words.

Review Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 15-16.

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Militia was what we now call “National Guard”. Speaking from experience, as a former guardsman as well as vet in 2 other branches. Back when I went to basic, this was well discussed as a given. I’m surprised people think otherwise to this day.
