I will remove judges until it is no longer legal to do so. I will not be using traditional legal mechanisms to remove said judges.

Frankly? He needs to get on with that malicious compliance to graphically - and yes, in some cases violently - demonstrate why this is a terrible fucking idea. I’m genuinely not looking forward to it, but at the same time I do think it’s become absolutely necessary.

But I sincerely doubt he will.

That comment doesn’t make sense on several levels

But like… unironically.

I am refusing to do so as an official act as president.

Oh man, that’s rough.

It’s extremely frustrating watching this happen in all of our countries. It’s even more frustrating that a lot of us saw it coming and have been concerned for years, even decades.

I understand what the “official” position is, but I can also read between the lines.

This is the Supreme Court more or less officially agreeing with the nixonian logic of “if the president does it, that means that it is not illegal”. I honestly don’t see another way to describe it.

Biden should by all means act accordingly. But I sincerely doubt he will.

Time to unpack the court with ST6, I guess. After all, now we know it’s legal.

Thomas is very experienced with cognitive dissonance

Yup

We all know it’s not how it works, but that’s precisely what Trump et al will try to do. This is just malicious compliance.

The CCP has been dropping booster stages into populated areas for decades. It’s nothing new. It’s effectively standard practice for them. Also, note that none of what I said disagrees with the fact that most other nations consider this sort of thing to be wildly dangerous.

Fuckin try it, cupcake.

Honestly, I am so eager for his cirrhosis to catch up with him. He richly deserves it.

It’s literally the most obvious choice.

Reagan enacted the assault weapon bans when he was governor of CA in direct reaction to the growing popular power of the Black Panthers. So yeah, even people who actively work against racial justice know exactly what the score is.

Be that as it may, with the stakes in this upcoming election, now is (to my deep frustration and chagrin) absolutely not the time.

That’s not legal serialized json, in the context of how any lib in Java (that I’m aware of) would either parse or render it.

Ignore me, I misremembered, sorry about that.

These days it seems there’s a rough third of the population in most places that’s stupid and/or bigoted enough to vote for shit like this. Those numbers don’t shock me. But I’m hoping France proves more resistant at the national level to the hyperconservative/neofascist resurgence at the we’re seeing in a distressing number of countries.

He’s not talking to you or me. He’s talking to idiots and racists in swing and red states who watch Fox.

There is no hate like Christian “love”

It doesn’t for the presidency. There’s just a line of succession.

Other positions often have special elections for absences (deaths; resignation), but it’s also wildly inconsistent because the states mostly all do it completely differently.
