Given that means-testing ends up costing more than not means-testing because of the required means-testing apparatus, the desire to means-test everything really can only be explained by the desire to be able to cut services and call the poors leeches, independent of policy outcomes.

Friends, again with respect because this is a complex issue: children born to citizens of tribal governments do not have constitutional birthright citizenship under many, if not most forms of constitutional argument and authority (incl. Supreme Court precedent relied upon in this case)./1

What I don't understand is, how is the solicitor general not embarrassed by his lack of basic knowledge of the historical context of the 14th Amendment? Then again, if he acknowledged there's a clear answer to this q, he'd have to acknowledge some other obvious truths that he's carefully overlooking

...is it possible there are just *more* new girls entering fandom so they seem overrepresented percentage-wise? There was a time from 2005-2015 where male manga readers represented a larger and larger percentage, eventually overtaking women and girls. Could be just pendulum swings

Justice Jackson is the only person left on the court conducting legal interpretation the way it's been done for almost America's entire history.

And to be clear, I'm not saying they are stupid *people,* I'm saying the methodology of legal interpretation they have adopted requires them to *act* as if they were stupid. Which is, when you think about it, even stupider

I don't believe that of Sotomayor and Elena "We Are All Textualists Now" Kagan, at least.

I really do think it comes down to hearing the term "talk therapy" and thinking that = "speech." Textualism makes justice into an idiot.

obvi, Iโ€™m not famous so I canโ€™t know the experience

But it strikes me exactly as a brain wiring issue. 500 people yelling at you FEELS like an inquisition, because for most of human history that would be most of your community angry

But online, it might be 0.1% of the people who read your piece

After suffering a series of strokes, fantasy artist Frank Frazetta began losing control of his right hand fully losing it in 1996. Instead of giving up his passion, Frazetta was determined to teach himself how to use his left hand with sketches and full paintings.

He never lost a step.

Do we think this came down to therapy involving the physical act of talking, so the court assumes it must be "speech"? God textualism is idiotic.

Like, fucking...no duh??? Kagan and Sotomayor are useful but deep down, Jackson is the one remaining actual Supreme Court justice

Thanks to an art class and an iPad, cartoonist Steve Sack is back - MinnPost Pulitzer Prize winner Steve Sack, who thought he was retired for good when he lost use of his right hand, is doing new cartoons for MinnPost.

Shigeru Mizuki lost an arm in the war. Steve Sack lost the use of his drawing hand to cancer and retrained himself with his other hand so he could keep drawing. So many other artists deal with all kinds of disabilities. This argument is such offensive horseshit. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...
