It’s 2006. The President has embroiled us in an unpopular war in the Middle East and has lied about it. It’s 2026. The President has embroiled us in an unpopular war in the Middle East and has lied about it.

If a city chooses to operate a water system, that’s still subject to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment constrains state and local government action. And the Preamble's "general Welfare" is relevant interpreti

You're conflating purpose with power. "Promote the general Welfare" doesn't create unlimited power. The power comes from the Constitution. The point is that once you are interpreting those powers, the Constitution's

Wild. Never expected this. Guess it wasn’t Suge, which is the biggest surprise. I wonder if they’ll find Biggie’s killer next.

The speed of the surge + people feeling strongly enough about it that they destroy the cameras + events like the grand jury that refused the indictment. I usually just see this kind of vitriol remain online. That it’s crossed into the real
