Seer of the tapes! Knower of the episodes!

  • "Shithole"?

    Strongly disagree. Whatever problems the USA has, there are far more places that are far worse, and very few that are better.

  • Article four section two states that judges are not allowed to overrule interstate law.

    I don't see that.

    The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

  • That would be a federal crime.

  • I disagree and here's why.

    The 10th amendment does not constrain the state governments, and this is not an ex post facto law.

    States are not required to enforce the laws of other states, and generally do not have any legal standing to challenge other states' laws.

    It is generally not legal for a state to prosecute someone for actions that took place outside of their jurisdiction.

  • That covers people who commit a crime in state A and then flee to state B. It's not clear whether it's even possible for a citizen of state B to commit a crime in state A without entering state A.

  • Whatever else, I'm sure we can all agree that the current performative, pro-forma electoral college meetings are not what was intended by the framers.

  • There are only so many ways to divide 435 seats while still guaranteeing at least 1 seat per state.

  • I didn't interpret the question as pertaining to ongoing costs.

  • A one time fee? Perhaps. But not an ongoing subscription.

  • What makes a person turn neutral-neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

  • Supposedly, it invokes the Christian symbol of the cross.

  • I still cross my fingers for luck.

  • History shows otherwise.

  • I'm talking about Afghanistan in 2001.

  • Weren't they protecting bin Laden?

  • I work for/with a religiously-affiliated charitable organization, so doublespeak is pretty constant. Worse, not only do people use it but they also police the speech of those around them.

  • Well, it was made up by a white guy.

  • Cliffs were fictional. Like the kind you can fall off of.
