It was obviously sarcasm. Why are you taking editorial judgement from Libs of TikTok?

It’s really amazing. If you read the Great Influenza by John Barry, you learn that it’s only been since World War II that more soldiers didn’t die from disease compared to combat injuries. For World War I and before it was always true that more soldiers died from disease.

If the Court didn’t like this world it wouldn’t have blown up its operating procedures to stop a regulation that industry met without it ever being in effect 10 years early. John Roberts brought this on himself. We’re a rowdy bunch here in America. Love or leave it baby.

No they didn’t. The constitution is not just something on paper. It’s sustained by people taking action. The Supreme Court threw away 200 years of operating procedures and we pay their salary and we deserve to know why.

Also, George HW Bush’s Whitehouse withheld information from Congress regarding William Casey, Reagan’s future CIA Director, traveling to Madrid to meet with the Iranians in the summer of 1980. Johnathan Alter covered this in his book on Carter. Lee Hamilton was unhappy to find this out from Alter.

Why peep? Reagan sold the Iranians weapons.

If you were going to “defy” a potential argument would be “all Court opinions without votes from justices appointed by both parties are deemed advisory given how partisan the decision-making of the Court has become.”

I certainly think open defiance of the Court is worse than packing.

There’s no special reason why it’s “worse” than other options. The number of Court members was changed several times early in the Republic and the country is much larger now and the Court system much bigger.

Just undo almost anything they don’t like that the Court has done and do it quickly. It can also make clear that the Court has less room to operate now than it has in the past. But I do think “packing” is completely ok under the law. It’s something Republicans are doing at the state court level.

Congress is the big dog here. It used to overrule the Court routinely when it didn’t like its decisions. But current Republicans are happy to have the Court rule, and Democrats grew to mistakenly venerate a version of the Court that never really existed and certainly doesn’t exist now. Congress can

I think the best answer is cost plus this sense that there were better/cheaper alternatives. The “arguments” against higher ed were there from the right to fit with those larger issues.

Relative productivity of construction is way down.

How We Passed the Clean Power Plan Target a Decade Early - EPSA Rapid power sector emissions declines prove that as political winds shift, consistent market rules will transcend changing priorities.

Also for what it’s worth the clean power plan targets were met a decade early because of “market forces.” The central planner comrade John Roberts got it was wrong.

Unthinkable? I’ve been thinking it was possible ever since 2024 because I assumed Trump would overreach.

No John Roberts, and his Court’s “Trump can do what he wants,” jurisprudence without Reagan.

The real dirty secret is no one can fix the fact that agglomeration effects are real.

Yeah it does.

America already elected James Buchanan.

Not blowing up Iran, market approved

The idea that he can’t beat Collins, which this thread started with, is absurd. I’m sure more bad stuff will come out. But when people are mad with the establishment…

This isn’t 2020 and Platner runs better against Collins than the sitting Governor. Sarah Gideon had only been elected to a Maine house seat. It’s odd on its face to assume Platner will have less of a chance when he polls better.

Economy got better thoughout 2020 and that was a once in a lifetime pandemic. Now it’s getting worse entirely because Trump is an unhinged fool who Collins has proven she can’t control

Yes she has. And what’s her sales pitch? Prices are up, job growth is next to nothing, Trump has hurt relations with Canada (matters a lot in Maine), rural hospitals are closing, foreign visitors are down, Supreme Court is more extreme because of Collins, etc.

Planter is ahead of her in the polls. This isn’t 2020. The economy is getting worse for reasons entirely attributable to the president.

There’s no misunderstanding about her and other’s actions here. It’s flatly wrong to separate children from their parents. Many of those children have never been reunited and all are permanently psychologically scarred by the experience. There is no moral defense of it.

Yeah, to me the tough part to clear was having a demonstrated vision and capacity to build the thing. And then what he’s been involved in since then also fits that pattern. Who knows. But he’s the first person I heard of accused who seems plausible.

Not really. He could have shown him the meta data without handing it over. They met in person twice. The pattern stuff was sort of interesting. I was more interested in how specific he had been himself before Bitcoin was created about how it could/should be built.

There’s like 50 other data points to go along with that. At some point it really stops seeming like coincidence. I made my peace with the idea a while ago that no one would ever prove it because whoever was Satoshi would have to let the mask drop themselves. This was as close as we’ll get.

The Latest: Justice: No change to 'zero tolerance' policy McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The Latest on the separation of immigrant children from their parents following President Donald Trump's order allowing them to reamin with their parents (all times local):

If you defend it day after day and you’re a parent like she is then you’ve made your peace with it. I can’t accept or understand that as a parent myself.
