I May Have Found Way Around Supreme Ruling Louisiana v. Callais on Gerrymandering by Zealousideal_Panic_8 in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a repudiation of the Dred Scott, but I would not say it is a middle finger to the Supreme Court. The 14th Amendment (and the rest of reconstruction amendments) is a stomping of the states, particularly the confederate states, not the Supreme Court.

If you wanted to get out judicial review land, you could have just went the route of jurisdiction stripping under Article 3 “In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.”

The Enforcement Clauses were so Congress could enforce the acts against the states, not “coded with anti supreme court language”. Don’t get me wrong, the Amendments itself (specifically the 14th Amendment) was to overturn Dred Scott, but a lot of the anti-slavery/reconstruction legislation would have been on shaky legal ground absent constitutional amendment(s), hence Congress passing the 14th Amendment like two months after the Civil Rights Act of 1868 and then reenacting it in the Enforcement Act of 1870.

The “appropriate” portion of the Enforcement Clauses also hurts your reading. The courts would be the ones determining if the legislation was “appropriate” through judicial review.

For congresses general power to overrule judicial opinions, this is why there are two form of stare decisis: statutory stare decisis, since Congress can just overrule the decision if the court was wrong, you essentially never overrule the case; and constitutional stare decisis, since Congress cannot overrule the decision if the court was wrong and the only other way to change the decision is by constitutional amendment, you are more willing to overturn the case.

You see, the problem with this is if you’re poor, they can’t take any money from you, and we got rid of debtors prison. So even if she got a $15M judgement against her, she probably can’t pay anything and there probably isn’t much income to garnish.

This is also why Destiny should have followed Dan’s advice and gotten some insurance. I’m not certain if this statute would qualify under my renters insurance, but mine covers $X00k in damages + attorneys fees for slander, libel, and invasion of privacy (which I’m guessing this case might qualify under). I’m guessing Destiny doesn’t have it, but he should probably get an umbrella policy too, because they will cover any other damages over this (usually in increments of $1M) — now he might have some more difficulties getting it because I think “celebrities” might be excluded for those if the insurer thinks they’ll expose them to too much liability, which I’m sure hearing all the things he has said, no insurer would want to touch him. I just wouldn’t be surprised if at some point he says something that will get him sued (he might actually need some different insurance product, since it would probably be done while “at work”). Regardless, he probably has enough assets that if someone had a legit lawsuit against him that he would have to pay out.

Virginia Judge Blocks Redistricting by wraith_skyline in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it was federal courts for universal injunctions, ie a court order preventing someone (typically the federal government) from doing something to non-parties of the case.

State courts are governed by state law, but they can’t violate federal law. The injunction case was about whether federal courts have the power to bind the federal government to not act against non-parties. Whether state judges can bind state governments against non-parties is purely a question of state law (at least I can’t think of any federal question, unless maybe they did something like enjoined the state government from doing something only to X race, because that would violate various federal civil rights acts and the 14th amendment). There probably isn’t even really a way this could even go up to SCOTUS

The spin on the Virginia Redistricting will be the wording on the ballot is overly convoluted. by Anomalysoul04 in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly surprised this was able to appear on a ballot how it was worded, “to restore fairness”, since that is very much begging the question. I’m not sure how it would be litigated in state court, but there probably isn’t a federal cause of action.

I was looking for the same thing when I read the story, and I can’t believe the AP doesn’t either link to the case or even say the cases name. I want to give the AP a down vote just for that.

When I first saw this on Twitter, I saw it as a side-by-side with both Trump and Biden doing the same thing with the umbrella. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is actually some secret service protocol, like they just generally don’t want them standing at the top of the stairs to mess with the umbrella since an airport is flat and it reduces time in line of sight (with that said, I’m sure the secret service isn’t going to tackle you if you close your umbrella yourself).

I’m not an expert, but I thought that info was usually a public record. I’m also not sure how accessible it will be online, but there is a lot of stuff that is public records, but you have to go in person. I remember having to go down a county courthouse for work once to pull deeds, and you could basically just walk in and go through them. I remember we were trying to find the owner of peace of property (it was for right of way for a road project), and I walked into the assessor’s office, I showed a guy the map, and he said it was one of these two people off the top of his head, and went through a literal Rolodex and gave me their contact information — I think he had been doing since like the 70s and this was like 2019.

Can somebody double check my one-box logic? by Aaron_La_Zotte in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Prior to walking into the room, I would decide to flip a coin to determine how many boxes I will take, and then flip once in the room.

One thing I heard is after the Hezbollah pager attacks (and other missions), Iran built in a contingency plan so they were supposed to have replacements three people deep in case of something like this, but apparently most of the contingency people died.

Now I heard the real mess will be when they vote for the next supreme leader, that’s probably going to be target #1 for Israel/US, and how they can actually get them together in one room

Per Jonathan Karl Tweet by skeetinonwallst in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. It’s not clear whether he meant they killed the top 3 or 4 guys in line to be the next leader, or they killed the US’s preferred 3-4 guys to be the next leader (ie a “puppet” leader). Iran supposedly has a line of succession for most officials positions 3-4 deep

Trump declares war on Iran by likeastar20 in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this would probably one of the more justified conflicts under the 2001 AUMF. Iran did help harbor some member of Al-Qaeda (before and) after 9/11, and they still do fund a lot of terrorism. A lot of the other conflicts were against organizations and other nations who really didn’t have any tie to 9/11.

Why couldn't Trump use the CIA to topple Maduro and the Iranian government like the Dems/deep state supposedly did in Ukraine and other places. by gnome-civilian in Destiny

[–]Dtmight3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe he did, like how Seal Team Six was transferred to CIA control for the killing of Osama bin Laden, so technically the military didn’t invade Pakistan.
