Yes. The instant Alito issues a ruling Trump doesn’t love, he’ll be declared the stupidest least qualified Justice in American history and MAGA will dutifully oust him. You just have to look at Trump’s record. How can supposedly smart people be so incredibly stupid?

SCOTUS in Nazis v Skokie ruled that Nazis have the right to march through neighborhoods of Holocaust survivors. But protestors can’t get near the RNC site?

“Leaving it up to the states” cannot be a long term solution regardless of who is in charge. You can’t have a procedure that’s healthcare in one state and murder in another. The question of whether pregnant people can freely cross state lines WILL be back before SCOTUS.

An article like this only makes sense if you frame the conflict as "saving the planet" vs "saving human well-being." But that's not it. Almost all climate stabilizing acts would actually improve human lives. The real conflict is "save the planet" vs "save short-term fossil fuel profits."

And, one-of-a-kind species do exist. They very well may not ever evolve again. Nature doesn't value them any more than any other species (cuz nature doesn't have values), but maybe humans should, especially considering that humans are one of them.

But let’s be fair, it wasn’t a real primary. With an incumbent it almost never is. Also if Biden fell into a coma or suffered an injury such that he couldn’t speak no one would argue he should go on just bc he’d won the primary. So there’s a line. The questions are where is it and are we there.

Yes, but, with all due respect, that’s SOP for me and should be for everyone in a democracy. It’s not really rising up. IMHO, this calls for something more. But what? What might be effective? Not a rhetorical question. Protests? I suppose. A general strike, perhaps?

Still trying to follow this. If I understand it, a guy murders someone before getting elected president and then orders subordinates to, say, bone saw the body to pieces during an Oval Office meeting. The said bone sawing is NOT admissible as evidence in a murder trial? Really missing democracy.
