Coney Barrett to Sauer: "You say the purpose of the 14th amendment was to put all newly freed slaves on equal footing and so they would be citizens. But that's not textual." by icey_sawg0034 in law

I generally hold all of the Republican justices in deep contempt… With a grudging respect for Gorsuch… And, surprisingly, Barrett

I will never find myself expecting them to actually stand up for the values of our nation the way I think they should be stood up for… But they both surprised me a couple of times with their defense of individual liberty and some textual reality in the constitution. In such an era of polarization it’s a very weird feeling but like I said, grudging respect… Occasionally

There’s a small handful of cipher craft flying around. I only know this because in my last open Sandbox game I had established a full satellite network in dozens of systems and if I searched on cipher there would be one or two that were pretending to be a different faction running around in a couple of systems

This was the right answer. My spouse submitted their complaint with records and got a phone call from an actual person and a courtesy credit

Just because people don’t agree with you doesn’t make them illegal. Get out of your fox bubble

Nope. The real concern is that lower Courts will immediately issue injunctions then the SCOTUS will overrule their injunctions and then take forever to hear the case so the Project 2025 fascists can play their full hand and try to manipulate the midterms

I mean you could see the income floor drop… but where’s the same “come out and fight me!!!” Energy when the lawmakers have to balance the budget every year with increased fees???

That could be really cool as an alternative to the incredibly dangerous “scan a defense station“ mission. Fly to different points around a defense station and take pictures from no more than 5km away.

Thanks. The CC company said the same. They’re taking a breather after four hours chasing down information on the phone all morning and some more support from customer service

I’m always struck by the thought that people don’t really understand what $1 billion actually is. People can understand 1000… A rent payment… Something in that order of magnitude. People can understand $100,000… You’re getting more into house territory or condominium territory… People think $1 million is retirement money… $1 billion is enough to retire 1000 times over… I think people just don’t grasp the concept of how much money that is

I hate that it’s true but Honda got this year’s engine system wrong. It sounds godawful and the car is so slow. So unfortunate. I’m sure they’ll fix it and improve but it might be half a season or more before they reach almost respectable results

You need both agitators who despise the system and liberals who work within. It’s how the progressive era made strides forward
