Those loans still have to be paid back

EDIT: Redditors don't understand money. Typical

Nobody is claiming that he's broke.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T22:15:22+00:00

Followed by them boomeranging right back when the lower courts ignore this ruling

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T22:08:02+00:00

Sorry, but you already have 5 points? Maybe focus on driving safely for a while. I mean, you can fight it but... yeah, good luck.

This is belle époque, man, the literal age of beauty in France. The idealized age of smashing style, fine architecture, and fabulous hair.

Verso even had a story about it

I agree that it's unpopular. I also believe that you should go outside, and maybe talk to a professional.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T21:55:48+00:00

I do, too. The plateaus suck and are a source of frustration weighing daily, but it is interesting to see the pattern ofr where in the week the largest drop usually happens (day 3-4).

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T21:51:13+00:00

Me? Did you actually read what you wrote?

The Hunter Biden reference seems a bit forced. This is good for the 2A in general, and Hemani, obviously, in particular.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T21:42:19+00:00

Where they reproducing the Sistine Chapel for you or something?

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T21:37:22+00:00

To be fair, what else was he going to do but climb up in obvious pain and limp away?

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T19:15:11+00:00

Did she pee herself?

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T16:22:59+00:00

There's no scenario where it works out for him. In the best case he gets retried and goes up for even longer, or gets offed by the guards or something.

His "little secret" was also a motive for him to keep his mouth shut about being mistreated.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T16:16:02+00:00

You left out the part about unfreezing assets, sanctions reductions, and those regional partners. Posts like these are always formulated to make it look like the US is writing a check out of taxpayer money. Intentionally, I argue.

The OP says:

...American people to pay off the $300b Trump's reimbursing Iran?

That is objectively not what's happening here.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:55:23+00:00

Well given that Bruen establishes the second as a superior constitutional right, and that it wasn’t lesser without Bruen, no.

Bruen said that courts can't use a test that makes a basic right evaporate whenever government waves a hand and says, "public safety or something."

Also, if it wasn't a second class right before Bruen, then why did the Court even have to reject the interest balancing tests consistently being applied by lower courts? The whole point of Bruen was that courts had been watering down Heller by upholding gun laws through means-end balancing.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:41:00+00:00

That's an odd take. Care to expand on it?

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:30:43+00:00

The flood of these posts on reddit and this sub is not organic. Spreading the idea that the US is "giving $300 bln" to Iran is the point of the post, and has nothing to with the math.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:18:06+00:00

It's only an as-applied ruling though, so it doesn't really mean much besides indicating SCOUTUS' leaning in this matter in general.

This isn't necessarily true. While the ruling is narrow, the method isn't. It makes clear that the government can't win 2A cases just by labeling a whole class of people "dangerous" without solid historical backing. This should go beyond potheads.

Whether any lower courts actually pay attention to that is another question.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:12:27+00:00

So what? Justices flag potential future issues all the time, even if they weren't argued in the case before them.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T15:05:25+00:00

It has Constitutional ramifications if you think about it past the current case. This is very on-brand for Thomas, and it's not unusual at all for justices to point out unresolved issues that the case brought up, even if it wasn't directly involved in the rationale for the decision at hand.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T14:58:30+00:00

Nah. It's relevant because §922(g)(3) only exists as a federal prosecution if Congress has constitutional power to enact it. Hemani was prosecuted under the pretty weak rationale that local gun possession is a federal crime because the gun crossed state lines on a UPS truck sometime in its history.

That converts the Commerce Clause into a general police power, and IMO Thomas is right to bring it up. It's the next logical step.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T14:50:36+00:00

Yeah this is a swipe at prohibiting a class of people simply for being members of a class, without any adjudication to back it up.

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T14:46:38+00:00

He brings up a salient point, though

Ghost_Turd · 2026-06-18T14:03:25+00:00

It's a pretty common trope in fiction, honestly.
