Under this court, if the president is a Democrat, the answer is yes. If the president is Republican, they will find a way to weasel it to no. You are expecting consistency where there is only ideology driving the outcome.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

In normal times, the Supreme Court would've smacked down claims of presidential immunity almost immediately, but we're not in normal times, and there's a reason why the conservative majority of Federalist Society bagmen waited until the last possible moment to provide this insane ruling.

The Walgreens by me here in the far Chicago suburbs had this going. But for some reason they only have the brand name products locked up. The house brand generics are not. Almost like it’s not at all about theft.

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.

The SCOTUS Chevron ruling is a power grab by the Judiciary, asserting that they have powers beyond those of the Legislative and Executive Branch. We have the power, under Article III to weaken their power and it's time we did so. This is how we do it: casten.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Punting until after the election, is my read. They don’t want do what they want ( yet ), and trigger a voter backlash that hurts Trump.

I am a fan of Peak Design bags. I have the messenger bag and one of the backpacks. Designed for camera gear, but I use the compartments and sections to hold all kinds of non-camera gear as well. Used for many years of travel and hiking and they're holding up very well.

One reason: they see chaos as opportunity to make more money. Many/most of them became billionaires by exploiting edge cases, loopholes, or gray areas. A chaotic Trump term would let them get away with more. Especially one that rolls back regulations. That's what the Koch's are all about.

Not that it matters to the unelected, unaccountable, right-wing activists who have seized the current court, but Sotomayor has the fucking receipts for everyone of them. They are only consistent in that they will do whatever they want to enact their own agenda, even their own precedent be damned.

That is correct. No discussion on the merits, just this particular challenge was rejected on a technicality. <sarcasm> I'm sure it has nothing to do with the upcoming election and wanting to avoid blowback like Dobbs caused. </sarcasm>

Excuse the dumb question, but is it via replies, posts that mention, DMs, or some other vector ( or all of the above ). Could a moderation or labeling filter similar to the way spam filters used to work or bot sentinel, to score accounts and let users set their own threshold of what they see/allow?

I don't use other social media as much, so just here. Mostly use Meta platforms (FB/IG) to share photos / stay in touch with family. Was active on twitter until the current owner took over, Bluesky replaces that niche very nicely.

That was pretty awesome. I thought it was a goner for sure when the burn through started and pieces were peeling off, but each time we had loss of signal, it came back. And the dang fin was still even actuating at the end during the flip and soft land!

That was pretty insane watching the livestream, seeing the burnthrough on the forward flap, then loss of signal, then it miraculously coming back, and the burned through flap even actuating at the final phase of the flip and mostly soft landing. I think it's definitely shown the idea is possible.

Why are libraries important? In 1959 police were called to a segregated library in SC when a 9yo Black boy refused to leave. He later got a PhD in Physics from MIT & died in 1986, as an astronaut aboard the space shuttle Challenger. The library that refused to lend him books is now named after him
