@Jonny5yve@MalarkeyControl@PellicciottaRj@cspan I'm not super familiar with the legal particulars, but for decades I've heard progressive jurists push for codification b/c they felt the Warren ruling in Roe v Wade was shaky.
Main point: dooming to argue against actually doing things like codifying what you want is dumb
@PettyCrockerAR@PellicciottaRj@cspan legally, very different examples.
Also, elements of the vra that were struck down would be tough to wrap into an electoral campaign since while the southern states may engage in some sketchy shit now, they're not the segregationist south anymore
@PellicciottaRj@cspan Theirs in a minority position, codifying it makes it much more of an active part of electoral politics beyond presidents appointing judges to maybe do things
@MalarkeyControl@PellicciottaRj@cspan No, it said abortion wasn't covered under the right to privacy and was a nonconstitutional issue: thus each state could do what they wanted or R's or D's could push their preferred legislation
@OckhamMan@MattGrossmann People enter into a loan repayment agreement with the government. Government reneges on agreement. "Fuck those idiot losers for taking a good deal and planning around it"
@matthewstoller I took a comparative religion class in high school and conservative rabbi came in and told us exodus probably never happened and was factually inaccurate, but that didn't matter b/c it was the truth of the story that was important
@bourbonium@Punity32@esaagar Worked in the industry, way more to it than that. There are some bs fees that Closing Disclosure forms have tamped down on. Electronic signing only gets rid of the notary public's fee which isn't that much
@matthewstoller I think the issue is households are less able to handle a downturn.
Plus you already highlighted how reliant we are on asset holders for consumption so there's another unique vulnerability
