@johnnybluenote@tribelaw Uh, the actual opinion didn't actually say there was anything wrong with the Colorado case itself. What it said is that states don't have the power to enforce the insurrection clause against candidates for federal office.
These are two completely separate things.
@whstancil The entire argument is stupid. McD's increased the menu price, but also drastically increased the availability of discounts. It's classic price discrimination. Anyone who cares can pay the old price, anyone who can't be bothered pays an extra 25%.
Same thing at grocery stores.
@skdh People react that way because economics (or at least the economics that gets talked about in the press) has been dominated by one particular faction of economists who happen to be nakedly political and will say anything in support of one of the US political parties, even nonsense
@Isitcoldinhere1 @TabbyKeats @gabrielmalor @5DollarFeminist It's especially weird since prior precedent relating to export controlled encryption implies you can print otherwise illegal code in a physical book or on a t-shirt, as was done with RSA and later DeCSS.
@mtlawmiami It's more than a little disturbing how many unconstitutional maps were used because Republicans waited until the last minute and courts decided it was "too late" to do anything about them.
@politicalmath Don't act like the benefits accrued entirely to employees, despite the name. Their businesses were better positioned to take advantage of the recovery thanks to the loans. Plus they were allowed to spend the money on rent and a few other things.
@DevFlan@OCFElections@AnnaForFlorida Glad my mom isn't alive to see this bullshit. Strict signature matching like this would have made it impossible for her to vote given that she was bedridden with MS and it was literally impossible for her to sign anything exactly the same way twice.
@kevinamezaga It annoys me that the former corner store is still sitting there vacant almost 5 years after the new owner terminated their lease. It exemplifies one of Miami's worst trends. Neighborhoods are getting worse because landlords leave properties vacant hoping for a windfall.
@kevinamezaga N Miami and 45th? Always hated driving around that area because it's damn near impossible to get a decent look at the traffic from the side streets. Didn't help that a lot of people treat N Miami as a highway and drive 15 over.
@KProtein19@KirbyWTweets If they mean something specific, they need to actually write that into the rule, not rely on context. Anatomical irregularities requiring surgery are surprisingly common and absolutely do "alter primary or secondary sexual characteristics".
"You know what I mean" is bad law.
@KProtein19@KirbyWTweets Given the broad language of the rule, it will do a lot more than deny care to transgender people. "Altering primary or secondary sexual characteristics" isn't very specific at all.
@d_a_swafford @ShwshnkDufresne @BudrykZack There are states where auto liability is required to cover intentional (and illegal) acts, regardless of policy language. They can deny coverage for the insured's losses, but not liability to third parties.
@ThatSkaggsGuy59 @Janiceperalta2 Sure you can, you just have to get an ATF license for $200 to buy a pre-1986 machine gun. Or you can become a gun "dealer". (In quotes because it's not very hard to get an FFL and you don't actually have to sell guns. It's harder to sell alcohol in most states.)
@kevinamezaga @trainfacts2020 Miami happens to be very lucky in that for various reasons the rate of sea level increase here is lower than in many other places. That said, some neighborhoods will likely become unlivable in your lifetime. Not large areas, but some.
