meh

I disagree

well yes, there would be less

Could start a precedent to keep the court balanced

but not enough less

"well, HAL, I feel that doubt is with me constantly, and I agree that those were odd circumstances. How do you feel about this yourself?"

Also, Verily pulling from Beijing due to biologics and MindRay is like ex NSA victim shaming...a Mork and Mindy episode, actually. Nanu-nanu.

:vomit:

@Doc She was a good person. I felt bad for her for most of the year I knew her. She did help me though, for sure. I am not easy to work with. I knew when we were done. Haven't seen a therapist since then.

I don't want balance between politically motivated judicial activists and non-activists

Until someone comes along and breaks norms again @realz

the activists must go

I don't want to set a new norm

@Zuluzeit yes you have.

I want to _destroy_ it

the SC is a 9umvirate

as long as they espouse judicial activism, they are taking over the role of the legislatures

@Doc lol cryptic

What is judicial activism anyways

@Zuluzeit what do you call this?

😄

cant you see me?

Hahaha

@james j it is where a judge says "I will make the judgement that results in the best '_moral_' outcome instead of making a judgement on what the constitution or law says"

(then they "interpret" the constitution and law around that)

it is basically an explicit injection of politics into the legal system

@Doc to be clear, that wasn't my issue though. It was much more silly than that.

@Zuluzeit No such thing. Every topic worth honestly approaching another human with always touches on existence, if you peal it.

Can’t people just using tactics to say this is or is not constitutional with their own interpretations @realz I think having a dogmatic constitution could be just as much of a problem

@Doc rather, less directly threatening.

@Zuluzeit Indeed.

That is what psychological defenses are for.

Existence in itself is an extremely uncomfortable topic.

Yes, it could be worse than Judicial Activism: Judicial Activism without admitting it. This would just be bad faith judgements. Of course this is possible, and our entire System depends on this not happening in the majority. However, I can't help _secret_ judicial activists who interpret things deliberately toward their goals. What I _can_ do is eliminate those that _tell_ me they are bad faith

@Doc There was something about a professional and compensated person that lent promise to the work. It wouldn't have been the same with doing the exact same thing with any number of friends.

@Zuluzeit A professional has less agenda, yes.

Friends usually have one.

So answers will be more...well...trustworthy in a strange way.

Indeed. That's how it felt.

I think criminal intent and criminal behavior can adapt. If we come across some crimes that the constitution gets in the way of effectively stopping then we have a situation where society can’t adapt to new threats @realz

We can. We can adjust the constitution. Using judicial activism to circumvent this it to circumvent the constitution.
