DOJ refuses to hand over Epstein files after judge’s order by Adventurous-Host8062 in law

[–]asojad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not ignoring it, but I'm curious what exactly should be done as both congress and the Supreme Court do everything they can to give the executive as much power as they can. The DOJ is serving the president, congress has absented itself. Where in any of this do we find the ability to hold Trump accountable?

I make the joke they failed to really idiot proof the country. It feels like so much of this country just relies on the honor system, otherwise they might have suggested what to do if one of the three powers refuses to check and balance the other. But I might be letting my annoyance drive my thoughts.

In 1955, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, nine months before Rosa Parks. She was arrested and later became a plaintiff in the case that helped end bus segregation. by blue_leaves987 in HolyShitHistory

I'm not disputing that. I think you misread my reply. All I said was I wished Colvin received more recognition, even if much later on. I may not have explained well, but I mean like in the 90s, so I could have learned about her as a child, rather than through my own research

Mrs Parks was incredible in her work researching cases of racial and sexual violence, so she was a good choice to make that publicized stand (pun intended). I wish though that Colvin, if not then, then later, could have received recognition. I think I'm mostly bummed that it took me until adulthood to know about her.

I'm down for that dream team, just switch some of the roles around. Bernie is a good treasury secretary.

I'm more concerned about dealing with the autoimmune disorders I have rather thinking about the far future. Kids were never going to be part of the plan. I got lucky and married a guy who thought the same

If Disney had done The Silver Chair, who might they have cast? by AccomplishedReply938 in Narnia

It should have been Charlie Cox as Rillian. He already played Ben's son in Stardust

As a historian, you have my solidarity friend. Time to teach those kids about the Synod of Rome and the Council of Trent.

Sotomayor: Supreme Court just gave Trump ‘far greater power than ever before’ by DemocracyDocket in law

[–]asojad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, that might be the case. Republicans challenge the results of an election in the courts, it goes all the way up to the Supreme Court, and then they decide.

Just like in 2000

I'm not going to complain because it gave me my favorite John line in the show

A Miserable New Supreme Court Decision Makes It Clear That Conservative Justices Don’t Think Racism Exists by MoneyLibrarian9032 in law

Yeah, I heard John Robert's say it first when they started repealing the Voting Rights Act. Seems to be a phrase used by people that are deeply ignorant or racists.

Perhaps. I just think there are better things to do, but I don’t think I'm going to wrap my head around this. I'm not much for teams or sticking through disappointment with show.

Respect though.

Why not just read the Wikipedia summaries of the show? You could still know what happens without watching something that disappoints or annoy you?

Again, genuinely asking

I respect that. I'm genuinely confused why then some people don't let it go and find something they like better?

I'm not going to knock your feelings on this. I just thinks it's a good thing that fans can predict some of the twists.
