insanity!

In whatever law passed by legislature that governs marriage. The law that, IMO shouldn't exist.

btw, what is marriage?

The overwhelming majority of responsibility for shitty laws falls on those who wrote them, not those who interpreted conflicts after the fact.

Also one of the times NSA shit was struck down was because the claimants couldn't prove they specifically were targeted

Sorry anti NSA shit

Marriage is two things: a contract and a social relation

So basically because the claimants couldn't prove they specifically were being surveilled, rampant surveillance could continue

And they couldn't prove that because the documents were classified

that it?

So because the government made private data classified as part of a vast information trolling network, it wasn't possible to challenge the government on a 4th amendment violation

So again, it doesn't really boil down to scotus, it boils down to the public

And whether they are willing to do their duty to uphold the constitution

Would we be better off if SCOTUS was openly partisan and activist? Would you rather have laws written by 9 unelected judges who serve for live?

revolution?

>would it be better if it was even further from what it should be?
Wew

partisan judges are a no no

Yeah, exactly.

>it could be worse
Isn't an argument

Well, it actually is worse, all over the world.

Anything you could think of could potentially be worse

>It could be the UK
is terrifying

If you want SCOTUS to strike down laws that do not violate the constitution or precedent, you're asking for them to be activists.

I thought justices were partisan as a matter of course.

They do violate the constitution

After all, you've got D-appointed judges, and R-appointed judges.

Nothing I can think of can be worse.

And the Patriot Act does not violate the constitution in the opinion of the 9 people appointed specifically to determine that.

You wouldn't appoint judges who wouldn't see things the way you do.

Circular argument

It's a shitty law. I want it gone. But SCOTUS waving a magic wand is NOT how I want it gone.

>scotus works because scotus says they've done this correctly

they arent technically R or D but can lean left or right

If they haven't done it correctly then they can be impeached.

Only takes 60 senators.

And they haven't been, hm

It's almost like consensus within the system is more important than the constitution

Remember the purpose of 2a?

I mean we SHOULD have teh Legislature do its FUCKING JOB

.....wow, so the earth is flat huh?

nah its a dodecahydron

shocking.

It's almost like the legislature is not doing what it's supposed to be doing and offloading all responsibility onto SCOTUS and the bureaucracy.

No, the world is a Torus. Maps are rectangular for a reason

who is doing what they are suppose to be doing?

lol

Right, which results in no jobs being done properly

public isn't, three branches aren't.

Incl. The job of upholding the constitution

nah its a megagon

how do you explain the mountains

they are the points of the megagon

Irregular torus

lol

I was speaking more about the consensus at the time, than the actual geometry.

lol

So since SCOTUS has all the responsibility for saving us from shitty legislation, it turns into a political circus - *exactly like it's not supposed to be*, and since the bureaucracy holds all the responsibility for filling in the massive blanks in shitty laws, they're full of DSA scumbags and other left-wing partisan operatives.

However, it's more like a ribbon, that is inside out and at the same time, not.

reform

REFORM

REEEEEEEFORM

Solution is for the federal government to do less. MUCH LESS. That way their job is small enough for them to actually handle themselves.

Purge

KEKISTANI'S AND GAMERS RISE UP

REFORM IT ALL

REEEEEFORM

Pass as much of the work as possible onto the states like it was supposed to be from the start.

REEEEEEEE

problem with government doing less, is that it almost completely relies on the people doing more. GL with that.

Pacman for President

Its about establishing a balance

and shifting based on needs

sometimes bigger sometimes smaller

establishing?

k, gl with that.

Another good thing about passing power and responsibility to the states is that the states can't print money.

yea

California has a surplus now. They can afford a lot of socialist nonsense if they want it.

and yet, poo on their streets.

something smells fishy.

sounds like normal socialism to me

But once the federal sugar daddy starts cutting back they'll quickly realize they can't afford as much as they want and be forced into some sort of fiscal responsibility.

Lot of people saying the Donald Trump Soros tweet was a conspiracy theory but a lot of the NGOs at the protests have Open Society Foundation listed prominently as a donor

cut them off like the rich white daddies girl they are?

Are you comparing the federal goburment to Harvey Weinstein and the states to the prostitues, er, uhm, victims?

General government philosophy for me: Regulation should be about ensuring ability to enter markets, not letting a bunch of people who have no clue about anything in those industries be the ones who ultimately decide the "proper" way to do things

nuke hollywood

kek

Swap it with Bollywood. I need more random dancing in my entertainment

YOu think it's isolated there?

nope, but at least give me something enjoyable to watch

All I'm trying to say is trying to blame a judge for a law written by other people is nonsense.

So Tim's meme is crap.

People won't have a choice but to do more tbh

As long as the judges aren't Cathy Newmaning the interpretation

And Tim's meme was about Kav's views

I hate even calling it a meme individually

Tim's participation in a meme

Tim's expression of a meme

OI GOTTA LOISENCE FOR THAT MEME?!

Would you rather a textualist or an activist?

Mean meme machine

Meme Revolutionary

Textualist; explicit is better than implicit for rules in general if you want it to be nice to those not knowledgeable in the rules

The more we expect SCOTUS to divine the intent of the lawmakers and the intent of the founders, the more damage they can do.

People still seriously argue that "well regulated militia" means only the army can have firearms.

Power to create and repeal legislation should be vested only in people that we can fire. And ideally all such people should be subject to recall.

Textualist, which isn't what scotus is

Hmm

Well, at this point the SCOTUS has already made a dog's breakfast of some things.

Militia is not the Army

which is understandable, information is never complete

Well sorta, @Khanclansith

it's complicated in the U.S., because many state militias chose to join the U.S. armed forces

including Army, Navy, Air Force

and I suspect some will join the Space Force

In the orders of mobilization, Militia are very far off the list of an Army, and far from the National Guard (State Volunteer Regiements)

Militia are people in the villages with arms called up to defend their communities.

Militia are either the very first line of mobilization or the very last line of mobilization.

The Majority of the Swiss units are Militia Infantry, so they keep their combat rifles and gear in their home.

So here is a question for everyone, do you want the US government handing out Select Fire M4 Carbines to Americans to keep in their homes?

Note that Sasse doesn't particularly like Kavanaugh: <https://video.foxnews.com/v/5844338318001/?#sp=show-clips>

@Khanclansith no because i don't like the carbine length gas system

i'll take the lower so long as it isn't burst

I guess it should be no problem to put M16 parts kits into CMP.

M4's are the standard US Army issue firearm now for better or worse. 1st Line units have had all their M16s pulled from the armories

In the Swiss Federation, they issue out STG-90's to all Militiamen.

you swiss?

No, I am American. I have followed their set up since it gets dragged into the US "Gun Control" debate

I would prefer if they simply opened up the MG registry again.

No need for more bureaucracy.

I would like the NFA repealed, but I don't see that happening

I would like that, and also dont understand why firearm safety is not part of schooling

in a country where you have the right to access

Dems had it banned

@Scribblehatch At least it picks up a little near the middle. 😁

thats fucking dumb, should be yeeted

guns are a foundational aspect of the American system. Citizens should know how they work basically across the board

I want firearms safety made manditory in every grade of US Schools, but that won't happen

That's been something I've been warming up to as well

if they framed it as a constitutional right to guns and gun education they would eat it up

No, the CRTL-left hates the Constitution of the United States

but they love extra rights

The CTRL-Left is mostly just the Left, the reasonable lefts who don't have slave morality aren't organized

The CTRL-Left view anything that empowers individuals as bad, while things that make them dependant on the collective as good.

CTRL-Left runs into problems when they run out of victims. They have to keep creating them.

More than anything else low unemployment will sap their power.

When people have jobs and are making progress in their lives they don't feel like victims.

There's infinite victims you can import from other countries

Chattel 2.0

Well Cost of Living is always a pain for the masses, so people like Ocasio-Cortez try to exploit that angle.

Here's a very peppy song that involves numbers, Scrib.

I learned that black women can function effectively as the heads of international crime fighting organisations.

I liked that show.

She's familiar, but I don't know where I've seen her.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0858106/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm

Tootsie, Hello Again, and Running on Empty. And probably commercials for L.A Law.

I remember her from a number of her old movies and TV crime Dramas back in the day.

@Timcast You might find this funny https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1048381617780248579?s=19

“I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as”

am i having a stroke

that made me do that thing where you're just like
"wha--.... wuh--... whai--... WHAT!?"

I like such as the Iraq as well.

typical leftist rant. Buzz word after buzz word that mean absolutely nothing.

isn't there a mental condition for that? Thought disorder i believe it is called.

"Eugen Bleuler, who named schizophrenia, held that thought disorder was its defining characteristic.However, formal thought disorder is not unique to schizophrenia or psychosis. It is often a symptom of mania, and less often it can be present in other mental disorders such as depression. Clanging or echolalia may be present in Tourette syndrome. Patients with a clouded consciousness, like that found in delirium, also have a formal thought disorder."

This is hilarious https://twitter.com/jason_howerton/status/1048288609080680448?s=19

I'll just avoid giving him attention altogether

In the face of adversity, give up.

In our darkest hour, give up.

In the face of an idea you disagree with, call them a facist

If at first you don't succeed, give up.

Btw guys

Harry Reid

He's the democrat hero who was the only one to vote for Brett.

Never heard of him until now.

If not for him we would've needed Pence to tiebreak, I believe?

Wasn't there a woman democrat who also voted for kav?

Collins something?

Wait

Harry Reid?

Scribble I dunno where you get your info

but that ain't true

He retired last year

--Wait what's goin on then

>:U

DID I GET CAUGHT IN FAKE NEWS?

THIS IS MALARKY

I wish it were true

cause the triggering of Harry Reid betraying the party line would be a salt mine to end all salt mines

Joe Manchin voted yes on Kav, he's from West Virginia

Ah.

and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska voted No, despite being a Rep

She is a rep in name only

"TRAITOR, TRAIIITOOOORRR! >A<"

She won with write ins

"YOU UNCLE TOM!! HOUSE NIGGER!"

I can just imagine.

after losing a primary

what did they do to that Asian guy on the left?! O_o

Zombie powder.

Cocaine

Bath Salts

Bath Salts mixxed with cocaine.

I fucking hate this world now

Look at all those rectangles of light everyone is carrying

"I'm a woman and I have a pink one of them"

Good for you dear.

thats mysogynist, cuz she's accepting he gender role 😛

Do women have different favorite colors than pink

I'm watching this with so much ennui.

There's a lot of colors out there.

Pink, star-blue, rainbow purple, heart-red

Fun fact, Pink was originally the colour for Boys

Since Red was the colour for Men

What a bunch of misogynists.

and then it became ghey

OBJECTION.

I seem to have seen this art style somewhere before.

I AM CALLING OUT SOME RUSSIAN BOTS RIGHT HERE:

Well, which is it?

Again, this is the sole democrat who voted for Brett.

What a strange person.
