I've been reflecting on your answer and I keep returning to one point...

In your example the rule in favor of the abortion seeker. As a principled and partial matter, how do these differ from today?

Is your argument that states can and maybe should keep laws around after they've been ruled demonstrably against the Constitution? If so, wouldn't justice only be granted with those with the means to appeal to SCOTUS?

Despite the possibility of tone sounding argumentative, it's not. I think I'm missing something here and I'm trying to figure it out. Thread is old enough I suspect it's just the two of us here anyhow.

Shapiro has an extended history of being quite sympathetic to Israel to the point of problematic statements and treating anti-genocide protest as something it's not.

Walz has none of that baggage and seems to care about people. He's a far better (from what I know) person to be one heartbeat away from the presidency.

He should campaign well and I expect him to keep hitting Trump. Vance will self-own without too much assistance. Punching up will be a great look.

If Walz is her pick, I'm giddy.

I'm fairly far left and I want human rights for all. I don't understand why the party of small government needs to know my internet habits, what happens behind closed doors, what books are read, or why specific medical care (gender affirning or reproductive) is sought.

We're people. The republican nanny state can fuck right off.

That said, I'd like a better safety net. The nation has the money for it if we had a rational tax code. This combination on the ticket gives me hope that all the above are priorities.

I do NOT want Shapiro except as a calculated play for Pennsylvania. I have 0 interest in a war to defend Israel's right to be 1940s Germany.

I so want this to be true. I'd lose my mind and donate more.

Is she like a real politician who cares about peolple? I'd love to see it.

After Israel has gone along with Bibi's actions, I dunno how much of an ally they are.

Maybe we can let them sort out their defense and not drag us into a war. Russia wants multi-front. Let them have it.

But we don't need to be the counterpoint. Israel is becoming a version of Germany from the 40s. Very willing to have millions die.

That's not a strategic ally.

But Saddam is gone and the petrodollar was secured.

And to some, that's enough.

He needs to be imprisoned. Seems fair enough.

This is what congress people are for.

It's been found to be a monopoly. I'm sure they'll appeal, but we may find out what it looks like in our own lifetimes.

Then does it have the ability to decide Roe?

I understand my question starts at the wrong point. I'm asking how far you'd extend your point.

Because I find it interesting and perhaps feasible.

The graduate is an adult.

He's the sort that demands this be a crime.

Feels like karma in a few ways.

This = teach any aspect of Christianity.

The constitution won't allow favorable treatment, so if they want the Bible, they get Satanism too.

I agree generally on not making it mandatory.

That said, I wish more people were exposed to other forms of thought and this would help. To me, an elective seems fair.

I dunno that I'd be sad about philosophy and world views (with religion being embedded) as some kind of civics class that enhances one's high school diploma.

Are... Are you JD Vance?

Per Dan Dennett, I can get behind teaching religion.

I'm reasonably confident that's not what the OK legislature meant to have happen, but it's the only constitutional way to do this. I think.

"Unity" = blind loyalty and obedience to Trump

That it works so often is cause for bought of despair.

That is a succinct version of what I think, too. I'd be happier with others, but understand the choice.

The sexual harassment settlement for the person in his office could make certain points harder to land.

You know that scene from Life of Brian where they discuss what have the Roman's done for them?

I feel like that's how people treat the planet. It just hasn't done enough for us. We need to be mad at the planet and piss all over it. It's our right.

I miss those days... They were less interesting, less dire, and more hopeful.

Other people are the problem.

It's like I don't need to worry about my carbon footprint... It's all the big corps that need to change.

Please understand, this is posted with irony. Not so much sarcasm... Just pained irony.
