Re: The Ukraine Crisis

Well, other people would still use it and it would still impact the global market for oil. And people do have things called planes and other modes of transportation so it's not like we can physically contain and isolate the Middle East from interacting with the rest of the world. And besides, frack...

Re: The Ukraine Crisis

I don't believe the left supports Islamic fundamentalism. As UNI said, sometimes people are so strident and enthusiastic in their resistance to anything possibly White or Western that they'll actually say they're pro-Hamas or pro-Intifada, but I think those who do that are just more interested in s...

Re: 2023-24 NBA Season

I mentioned to a friend of mine after the Nuggets/Lakers series that Denver can't keep getting down by double-digits against Minnesota as the Wolves are a much better team that the Lakers and it is showing. The lack of focus the Nuggets have had so far in both the Laker series and this one should b...

Re: The Ukraine Crisis

I think there are people on the left who foolishly support Islamic fundamentalism. There are pseudo-progressives who support anything that they believe opposes white, western colonialism and Islamic fundamentalism checks all of those boxes. They do this despite the reality that Islamic fundamentali...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

Hey, I don't disagree at all that justices are selected at the start based on their perceived ideology/jurisprudence leaning - of course they are. Hence why you get different justices depending on the President picking them. But once they're there, barring an impeachment and removal (only ever been...

Like we already talked about before, this isn't a yes/no, magic 8-ball decision. They're writing stuff that will impact the Presidency for the next 100 years or more. Once it got to this level, it was more than about just Trump. If Smith wanted something quick, he shouldn't have appealed in this wa...

Again, if there was real evidence of corruption (i.e. a judge changing a vote to suit a benefactor) then it would be prosecuted, both politically (impeachment) and legally (prosecution). All you have is innuendo, biased perceptions, and political talking points. Thomas, for all of his faults, is ac...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

They granted cert because Smith made it a big deal to petition the Court and to refuse such a big case and a public ask like that would've generated probably even more howling from the left. Basically, it was too big of a deal to ignore. Taking a couple of months (they'll probably decide in June) i...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

It didn't even need to be at SCOTUS right now, that was Smith trying to fast track it rather than follow the normal route. Once he petitioned them to take it up I can't see them not taking it. With that said, this is bigger than Trump, so it's going to need a little thought in this. It's not someth...

Or, in this case, go over what Trump is accused of and going action by action as to whether it is covered by official duty or not. There isn't a blanket decision one way or the other that addresses this. That's why SCOTUS will probably remand it back to the district court to sort through the detail...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

It's not an all or nothing thing. Clearly Trump's view of absolute immunity is silly and it's not being realistically debated by anyone other than Trump. So the question does come down to what's covered and what isn't covered. The Constitution, in broad terms, lays out what the President's duties a...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

The text of the Constitution broadly lists out what the President does. Those things would presumably be protected then. If he does other thing outside of that, then they wouldn't be protected. It also brings up the question then of suing the President specifically or suing the government as a whol...

Re: 2024 SCOTUS Rulings Thread

I'm curious where any of this concern over originalist principles over Presidential immunity comes from? I didn't hear a lot of backtracking or cognitive dissonance in last week's SCOTUS hearing. It's pretty clear that Trump's laughable/troubling idea of complete immunity has no chance of standing,...
