She voted on the president's power under the law, which properly has nothing to do with her opinion of the wisdom of the policy decision or how it might effect those who share an ethnicity with any of her relatives. Imagine thinking otherwise.
The ruling is rooted in very clear language passed by Congress. If you don’t like the legal framework here, direct your ire at Congress. SCOTUS does not exist to save us from laws we don’t like.
In honor of his birthday, here is Clarence Thomas describing Joe Biden trying to wreck his SCOTUS nomination:
“One of the things you do in hearings is you have to sit there and look attentively at people you know have no idea what they’re talking about."
HBD, Justice Thomas 🇺🇸
NEW: Austin Metcalf's father says Karmelo Anthony's family has shown zero remorse after his son was murdered, says they decided to play the race card instead.
Will Cain: "Have you ever spoken to the Anthonys?"
Jeff Metcalf: "No."
Cain: "No apology, no remorse?"
Metcalf: "Nothing... They weren't there for the sentencing, and they were not there for victim impact statements. They left that poor child up there by himself. As soon as the verdict was read... his family and some other advocates left the courtroom and turned in their badges."
If the final deal looks anything like the embarrassing MOU, the US -- despite the impressive but narrow military success -- will have lost this war with Iran.
The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.
In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.
Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.
I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.
This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.
I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"
"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."
"But the store loses."
"Yep. On purpose."
On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.
In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.
A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."
It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.
I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.
Some prices are not prices. They are promises.
I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.
The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.
Long may it spin.
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
This is actually correct—just not for the reasons Vietor thinks. Musk had $180 million in cash after he sold PayPal, and it didn't make him happy. What made him happy was starting the other companies. His money isn't in some vault; it *is* those companies. https://t.co/KKDZ5EEfEw
