The brief order did not detail the court’s reasoning, as is typical, but says three justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — would have sided with Oklahoma.
Of course those asshats did. They don’t care about the law or the constitution, just their feels.
Well Verizon sucks here too so…
The 5G effectively doesn’t function in my area and hasn’t for months so I haven’t noticed. I can have 3 bars and nothing will happen, but if it falls back to LTE I can get some data exchange for a few minutes. AT&T has been broken for a while in my mind.
I think we can do both. Google is trying to keep from repatriating profits so they don’t need to pay taxes. Russia took it. Fuck Russia, but I can’t feel too bad for Google.
We had a law. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court invalidated it saying the First Amendment takes precedence so we’d need another Amendment limiting speech in politics, which is complicated. I believe we already have laws about foreign money in politics, but we have extremely weak enforcement for it (and weak enforcement of other political laws in general). If we made stronger laws requiring PACs to report where all of their funding came from the current Supreme Court would likely knock it down saying anonymous speech is also protected by the First Amendment.
“An originalist and strict constructionist understanding of the Constitution in the Scalia and Thomas tradition, as well as precedent-setting U.S. Supreme Court cases … have found that a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ is defined as a person born on American soil of parents who are both citizens of the United States at the time of the child’s birth,” the document states.
The group then cites six cases including *Dred Scott v Sandford. *The 1857 ruling came a few years before the 1861 outbreak of the US Civil War over the issue of slavery, stating that enslaved people could not be citizens, meaning that they couldn’t expect to receive any protection from the courts or the federal government. The ruling also said that Congress did not have the power to ban slavery from a federal territory.
They’re kinda forgetting about the whole 14th Amendment thing which changes the constitution to ban slavery. An amendment is very different than a law banning slavery.
It’s by design
New bottom paint? This really isn’t a big deal. If your other bottom paint looks good then just do a little sanding (with a respirator, obviously) and paint that section. If your whole bottom needs painting then sand the whole bottom with 80 grit (spending a little more time on the chipped sections) and then repaint. The 80 grit leaves scratches (keys) for the new paint to lock onto.
If you know what kind of bottom paint is on it then find a compatible bottom paint (they’re not universally compatible). If you don’t know then find one with the most compatibility across paints. What you don’t want to do unless unavoidable is to need to sand down to gel coat because that’s a lot of work.
As someone who is not vegan and does eat bacon on occasion, I approve this meme.
I honestly think part of (but definitely not all of) the resistance against veganism is the perceived pushiness of it, similar to the pushiness some have around detesting anyone who eats meat. I’ve tried to be vegetarian several times and found that I personally don’t have the discipline to stick with it because of societal pressures and the difficulty in finding variety, but I know a lot of people that reject even that outright because of the “all or nothing” attitude that media and some groups/individuals presents around vegetarianism/veganism.
Long story short, I’m proud of those who can do it, but I’m just not there yet. Maybe someday.
