The US President now has legal immunity from executing those laws faithfully.
The US President now has legal immunity from executing those laws faithfully.
A large portion of tourism income, including airfare, goes directly to the government, and North Korea can buy old nuclear warheads for several hundred thousand dollars, which adds up pretty quick with a few hundred tourists.
Bear that in mind if you’re thinking of visiting.
Disclaimer: someone calm me and op down.
I couldn’t believe that every post wasn’t about this ruling all day
No, you shouldn’t calm down, this decision is absolutely cataclysmic for the US should a dangerous person be elected or the ruling not overturned.
I’ve been saying the states are okay despite all SCOTUS’ stripping of civil rights and everything else wrong with that country because as long as there were checks and balances, voting had relevance.
With this ruling,I can’t see that it will continue to.
A president can order their political opponents murdered.
They can order that all civil rights be suspended indefinitely.
They can order a suspension or abolition of term limits.
They can abolish voting altogether in a hundred different ways and nothing can be legally done to halt that president from continuing to abolish voting until it sticks.
If anyone does manage to legally stop the president, the president can kill them or cut off their fingers and remove their voice box.
Literally anything is now legal, fair game.
Biden has spoken out against that kind of power and he has it right now, so VOTE for BIDEN to buy yourselves some time.
Whoever comes after this term or the next likely won’t have the same scruples.
This is far and away the most dangerous and harmful decision SCOTUS has ever made, which is saying a LOT.
It is the antithesis of the line in the Constitution explicitly stating that no elected official (like the president) has legal immunity.
The decision to grant an entire branch of the government absolute(it is absolute, anything can become “official”) legal immunity could very rapidly destroy the country as it is and turn it into a true authoritarian state within a week.
It takes some time to write, print and sign the executive orders or I’d say a day.
I have to read up on it more because I haven’t read or heard enough yet to convince me that this decision is not utterly catastrophic.
I’m shocked the dollar hasn’t collapsed, any further international faith in US stability is misplaced.
Antiquated.
A scant couple hundred thousand more brain cells and we’ll be there.
Cheap shot, I’ve never dared a soap opera myself.
Murderbot.
Murrrderbooooot.
800,000 brain cells played pong.
Creepy.
That’s murderbot’s ancestor.
Jackson added, for sure.
Kagan no way.
Kagan has sided with conservatives way too many times with the “look, their conclusion is poorly reasoned and unconstitutional, but you can technically get to the conclusion constitutionally from a liberal perspective if…” and then she sides with the conservatives.
Poking around in legal details can be fun, but she can be a professor while we get someone taking action on the court instead of siding with employer-imposed religious mandates over employee bodily autonomy (hobby lobby), supporting the “Muslim ban”(trump via Hawaii), and crippling contract law so that class action lawsuits can’t be brought against corporations over faulty or illegal contracts. (American Express versus Italian colors).
Kagan is not helping people, get someone on there who wants to help people.
What do you like about genocide?
Specifically
Time to legally immediately replace every Justice except for Sotomayor and Jackson.
Thanks, I seen this post a few times and then reality bites just hit me after my brain had ruminated a bit I guess.
Yea, and now there’s the swingback glorification of selling out.
Financial success in and of itself shouldn’t be shameful or exalted, I wonder if there’s a movie showcasing that exaltation of personal commercial success the way reality bites showcased the shame.
I can’t think of one that nailed it the same way.
Reality bites(1994) portrayed the paradox of the newfound “horror” of selling out in the 90s by achieving goals you set our for yourself.
That nailed a specific part of american culture for most working people in the country.
Waiting is also weirdly accurate because on the production side you need actors to focus on portraying a particular personality trait to define the entire character, but that applies in real life to restaurant dynamics, one salient personality trait sort of defines who each person is, like it makes it easier to work in a group if you know that that guy is the stoner or that guy is the cool dude or that girl is the bossy one.
Kids(1995) got suburban entropy pretty solidly. Gummo is kind of in that category too, although I can’t confirm because I never lived in the boonies.
Tuesday Fiasco
I didn’t assume, I literally asked you directly if this was written by AI.
You chose not to respond, then told me that you hate me, and keep responding like an asshole.
It doesn’t matter if you’re neurodivergent or not if you’re choosing to be an asshole.
I asked you a simple question, you could have answered it.
I haven’t heard about this, thanks.
Great call
Hahahaha, Those are real out loud in the world has.
I identified with this statement.
I’m so happy for you.
Thanks, good to hear from a local.
You mean they’re getting airtime to voice their views?
Which fascist views are being adopted?
Haha, awesome, that rocks!
Haha, nice, that sounds pretty good.
Didn’t turn out great, but is definitely worth watching.
