A majority can't really be "rogue" either.

State powers are very broad and a federal judge needs a good and specific reason to strike down a state law. See the tenth amendment. The only way one might reasonably call the imminent opinion "activism" is based on stare decisis

Well, judges have limited power, too, and it comes largely from the text in front of them (not entirely, but largely). SCOTUS is not the only mechanism for preserving rights. We also have state constitutions, elected representatives, etc.,

OK, that's more indirect than I understood the point to be: you're saying that he used unacceptable speech to get elected, and that resulted in the imminent overturn of Roe . I have to say that I'm very uncomfortable limitin

"The women of his country already saw what one term of Trump did to the rights they thought they had." I see very little connection between anything that might be deemed "unacceptable" speech by Trump and the imminent ov

One thing I don't understand is how you can make healthcare "equal" in the sense that it will stand up to court challenges in the U.S. Free speech is a self-service right, so the government can just step out of the way and ev

I'm skeptical, but I'd like to see it pass. Such a debate in this country and it would act as an experiment. It would probably take a while for the consequences (good and bad, as I don't believe it would be purely one or the

From the standpoint of the lender, it's a little complicated. Financially, I'm sure it works out for them under the current rules or they wouldn't do it. Socially, you could make an argument that they should be more careful.

If it applied to new people making new decisions, it's an improvement. But if it applies retroactively to bad decisions, that's different. Any "free" money going forward would presumably come with some strings that at le

"Equality" of opportunity itself is a little weird. If one family emphasizes reading and math and another family emphasizes dance and music, they will provide different (non-equal) opportunities to their children, but one is not n

"In studies 1 to 5, participants read various equality-enhancing policies that would provide additional resources (e.g., salary and jobs) to a disadvantaged group (e.g., Latino Americans, people with a disability, women, and ex-felons)

It depends on the means to achieve equality, right? And you also have to account for the possibility that a given idea to improve equality actually reduces it. But sure, if you observe equality in a well-functioning system after the fact, I

"This doesn’t make this [big abstract] idea less valuable to pursue further." But such ideas often need to be heavily driven by the one with the idea. Even people receptive to the idea often misunderstand such a vision. So for pra

A lot of the art though is what not to write. Too much code is written.

The main concern is ending up in the ocean, I guess. Not sure that's supported by numbers though.

Why does wax defeat the purpose of a paper straw? Aren't there some biodegradable waxes?

by chmod600 4y ago
But why? What is the engineering challenge in a cheap tube that needs to survive modest collapsing pressure and contact with cold water for an hour? Maybe wax-coated paper, or a thin foil coating on paper, or some other kind of plant matter

Wouldn't a light coating of oil or wax be enough to keep the straw intact for an hour while sipping a beverage?

You seem to interpret "punishment" as "inflicting pain". What about denial of privileges or a simple "stand in the corner"? If a kid is being obnoxious right before going to a birthday party, maybe stay home or

If someone is capable of dealing with the consequences of their actions, they are an adult, not a child. A three-year-old could easily make more of a mess trying to clean something. Plus, you need to supervise. The child could easily learn

Did they have a convoy of tanks in Syria? My understanding is that it was primarily air assault. That would seem to support the idea that practice is necessary for an effective military.

Unifying around freedom makes sense to me. Unifying around fraternity sounds entirely circular. Military service doesn't sound like a way to unify the world -- who is the enemy? Unifying around a business is about producing/creati

What is your explanation for Russia invading Ukraine? As far as I can tell, it's a war for glory or destiny or power or something. Not food or shelter or school.

"Have a strong military and don't use it." Is that possible? Part of the reason the U.S. military is effective is because we are constantly involved in some conflict somewhere. Russia's military is an embarassment right

But what does fraternity mean for diverse people? What is the unifying principle? It's easy to call someone your brother if they are similar to you. Not so easy when they are truly different.

Bring us all together around what ? Everyone always leaves that part out. The only reasonable answer would be freedom, so that diverse people can be happy together. Anything else is merely a call for everyone else to do things the way you
