Biden has been excellent on climate change as well. Activists push him to do even better, and they should. But no president has done near as well, and even the most pro-environmental candidate imaginable would do no better

Weirdest part is that so few of the hunters seem concerned. Some of them are even teaching the rabbit how to use the gun!

Just gonna preemptively state that when Trump wins, everyone is to blame except: (1) me, (2) people who think and act exactly like me in every way, and (3) anyone who voted for Trump and/or supported him in any way The rest of you are on notice!

You can do a LOT of other things to oppose it beyond merely annoying your reps. Take it from someone who lives in DC and thus doesn't even have a voting rep to annoy. Keep fighting the good fight, amigo 👍

Some small corner of my brain that recalls my law school idealism has tried to at least give the "middle three" justices a shred of credit and legitimacy. But I honestly don't see how that passage could possibly be anything other than an intentional pro-Trump troll

Legal pundits over time Dec 1, 2023: SCOTUS will reject Trump's appeal on an expedited basis Dec 22, 2023: They are letting the DC Circuit handle it to not even dignify it. Feb 28, 2024: The are taking the case on appeal but will completely reject the claim. June: SCOTUS says Trump is your God/King

They all still stand, but there will be further delays as the trial courts evaluate what does and does not count as an excepted "official act." Basically, nothing changes except the people who already were clearly sabotaging the Trump cases have another weapon to do so

Quite a big giveaway to law firms and particularly administrative attorneys too. OTOH, I'd love to see NRDC and Earthjustice take advantage of this as well, and they should be able to do so. I hope they're fundraising off this stuff

I'm about as aggressively anti-Trump and thus loyal to Dems lately as anyone you can find, but I would have some Real Serious Problems with the party if they passed over the black woman VP who has already been elected to that role in favor of a farcical aquatic ceremony

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

I have a theory that Roberts had been seeking to moderate the Court during the Trump admin because he knows how his opinion in this case will be remembered by history, and he only recently gave up on this project as a lost cause

Just more and more obvious that you’re a pro-Israel plant trying to make people hate the Palestinian movement. Nobody who sincerely. wants positive change is this big of a tool. Real activists know how counterproductive that is. Sell it somewhere else, Netanyahu

I was just trying to make your argument for you because you refused to do it yourself. You just kept saying “software is protected by the first amendment.” Is it? Why? Is a notes app protected speech? A browser?

Looks like Kapersky's US sub is limited, but based on the Commerce statement and the reasoning it seems if they spun off they'd be fine. If that's the case I don't see a First Amendment issue- you don't a constitutional right to foreign ownership. Also, is social media software by itself speech?

Right, that's why both myself and the other poster specifically referenced a company not in the US. I don't know what the mechanism is for the "ban," however. Is the product itself completely banned, or are they just forcing a foreign parent to divest a domestic sub if they want to continue?

I'm also curious about your assertion that potential customers' First Amendment rights are abrogated when the government bans a specific company from selling a a specific product that itself does not constitute actual speech. What's the precedent for that?

From 2020: "First, it is long settled as a matter of American constitutional law that foreign citizens outside U. S. territory do not possess rights under the U. S. Constitution. Plaintiffs do not dispute that fundamental principle."
