That is another good observation that was hard to understand at first to someone very familiar with law (like myself). It would be a very strong action for the supreme court to take action here. The dissent doesn't really say why it wo

Just note that shopping malls are closed in California so that is not a reasonable argument. But for example Tesla manufacturing is reopened, is that a comparable activity? I think this whole case is clearly subjective and should not be of

That list is not really accurate, shopping malls, bookstores, florists, hair salons, and cannabis dispensaries are still closed I believe. Pet grooming is open, and to some extent I agree with you (although I have used one). In my opinion t

Sure, but everyone (at least me and the 8 people on the Supreme Court) believes the governor is allowed to impose some restrictions in a pandemic. He is just not allowed to have harsher restrictions on churches then comparable activities wh

Didn’t he second guess doctors though? There were doctors writing the order but he said it should be overruled. Sorry if I’m misunderstanding, honestly want to understand here. Edit: I have tried to find what Alito thinks but can’t find any

Yes, I mentioned this elsewhere as well. They key point is what is a comparable activity. That probably needs to go into law, or can this be used as a precedent later?

The key part of the dissent is what is a comparable “business” to a church service. I think it is sports arrangement, or perhaps political arrangement, and the Supreme Court justices believe It is a supermarket and manufacturing. I’m not su

Yeah, the Supreme Court argument was the racism was no longer an issue so no reason to keep watching over those good old boys in the south.

No it does not. The second amendment offers no realistic protection for a civilian in any sort of way. I have been part of a special forces raid to capture or kill and I can tell you the opponent has no realistic way to win that day. Sure y

You are either willfully cherry-picking facts here or being ignorant. This info is widely available and it was the racists south that was against the civil rights movement and the union states pushed it through. When the 64 law passed the D

This is the real answer, due to the civil rights movement the DNC lost the south due to the less civil minded parts of the party switched to the republicans.

Of course we can’t know, but the police are giving bogus explanations so it’s hard to give them good faith. They would probably do the same if they arrested a white crew. The larger story is that there is close to zero accountability for po

He was telling them they were live, I think he was reporting while being black.

The arrested reporter was black, there was another White CB reporter standing nearby that was not arrested. Perhaps it’s all coincidence. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/minneapolis-cnn-crew-arres...

But we don’t want elections to be decided by people who are not allowed to vote. If we wanted those people to vote we would simply let them instead of some weird indirect system.

This is specifically true in the US at this moment, but it does not need to be so. The reason for this is that the GOP has less popular support (all polling on policy issues they are doing badly), but the voters they have are very dedicated

As long as the senate doesn't cooperate there is no way apparently to remove or have any influence over the president or the executive branch. He is just making sure he doesn't step too far so the GOP will consider voting against

I totally agree with you, but it is not useful when talking in the US today. Socialist/socialism means communist here and is mostly just a swear word. The distinction between capitalist socialism and authoritarian communism is often ig

I don’t really see why though? I’m a socialist (the Scandinavian kind), but that seems a petty good description of what happened back then.

I don't think that is a fair way up putting it when they are very upfront about it and don't call it salary. On the other hand at the end of year 2 when you have gotten used to the monthly payments I guess the we told you so is it

Because the us is a federation between widely different states. California and Alabama can agree on very little so they need the constitution to keep peace and the union. Is politics is completely blocked these days, so most forward movemen

I almost agree that most cops are potentially not bad cops, except that most of them participate in the blue wall of silence and covers for the bad cops. That makes all of them complicit and the whole system corrupt.

I can get on board with the urban centers being altruistic and subsidizing rural America as long as there is some return value unlike the current times where they turn around and gives us Mitch McConnell. Also let’s pay nurses and doctors w

Why should we convince them on altruism and not by paying them more? I thought USA was all about the market deciding where resources should go?

I find it a lot harder to adjust the volume with touchbar compared to the old keys. It used to be something I could do really quick and accurate, now I have to look down and try to adjust a slider.
