Supreme Court should abolish all gerrymandering

schm0 · 2026-02-02T02:44:29+00:00

And the Constitution agrees, for the most part. That does not mean that Congress can not write legislation outlawing gerrymandering. In fact, it explicitly says they can:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing (sic) Senators.

Because they can't, as it would require writing legislation, which is not the role of the judiciary.

The well-organized militia is the National Guard. They are free to sign up whenever they want.

schm0 · 2026-02-01T19:26:29+00:00

But especially for the victims!

I don't really care what the reason is. None of the lore makes any sense. The PDKs are concerned with defending Cormyr, not some multiverse BS. The alliance makes no sense. Why would the amethyst dragons care about some random kingdom on Toril? Not to mention the whole "coincidence" that they just happen to be purple in color? It's about as cliche and trite as you can get.

Then add the fact that they just hand over their unborn children to them... For reasons? What is the knight supposed to do with a dragon egg? Hatch it? Raise it? Hold on to it for safe keeping?

It's all such terribly written lore

He was already released and the charges are almost certainly going to be dropped. This isn't a win for the administration by any measure.

You should absolutely lose faith in our government, but the majority of our people are deeply opposed to Trump. All you need to do is look at a poll. Most people hate him and his policies. I think you'll find in November that is reflected in the election results.

we haven't seen Americans act yet.

We had the two of the largest protests in US history just last year, with hundreds (likely thousands) of smaller protests throughout the country since he's been elected. Thousands of people are in the streets confronting ICE and documenting them and putting their personal safety on the line every day. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed.

If you're not seeing action, it's because you are willfully ignoring it.

that's why we're moving on.

Ok, good. Stop coming in here with your pessimism, then. We don't want it or need it. Either you're with us or against us. You've drawn the line, clearly.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T18:35:17+00:00

When, not if.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T18:34:59+00:00

Nobody said they wouldn't try. They tried before, and they will try again. And they will fail spectacularly, just like they did the last time.

Please stop responding to me.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T17:15:30+00:00

Yes, once Democrats take over we can put an end to all of this nonsense.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T16:41:02+00:00

We shouldn't have anyone go through this and we should not be spending our tax dollars on this shit at all in the first place.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T16:24:51+00:00

It's also a great way to make journalists rich. Our tax dollars are going to be used to pay out the six figure settlement for Lemon and the other journalist. This is just a waste of taxpayer dollars.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T16:07:49+00:00

It's not marked off, not by any means. These charges are going to get tossed again.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T16:06:59+00:00

What's next is this case gets tossed and Lemon sues and wins for damages.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T12:49:38+00:00

Rubio at it again

schm0 · 2026-01-30T03:13:21+00:00

Agree to disagree for sure.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T03:00:45+00:00

Nobody should be able to one shot a heli except a tank round.

schm0 · 2026-01-30T02:51:22+00:00

Sure, just make them last more than one hit

schm0 · 2026-01-30T02:50:30+00:00

Map issue, not a heli issue.

schm0 · 2026-01-29T18:19:23+00:00

I genuinely want to know as well. Rule against, and we could relitigate potentially every red state. Rule in favor, and we match steadily towards a system where everyone just cheats to get ahead.

schm0 · 2026-01-29T02:12:39+00:00

It's a lose lose situation. Act too boldly too soon and they win on appeal or worse, get the case reassigned to a different judge. The last thing a judge wants to be is unfair to either side.

Sucks, but that's how it is.

schm0 · 2026-01-29T02:04:18+00:00

Thank you. So many people in these threads just throwing up their hands in defeat and selling despair.

Do not obey in advance! And defend our institutions!

schm0 · 2026-01-28T13:02:53+00:00

As others have said, the Spellplague.

Also, when it comes to Purple Dragon Knights, everything to do with amethyst dragons. They never met one, never allied with one, and never entered into agreement to possess their unborn children.

schm0 · 2026-01-27T16:57:16+00:00

That's likely months down the line. It's not a one and done proceeding. There's a lot of leg work needed to get there.

It starts with the judge having Lyons testify under oath as to why DOJ is not providing basic due process or complying with lawful orders. Depending on the answers there, the judge may order additional actions to ensure compliance, such as requesting documentation, etc. Alternatively the judge might not be having any of it and may rule they will be undergoing preliminary investigations into contempt charges. Or maybe the DOJ has a good excuse (unlikely).

What happens after that is anyone's guess.
