SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

[MissThundercat]

SCOTUS declines to grant certiorari in the case of Washington's conversion "therapy" ban. Bet you can guess who dissented, though perhaps not on what grounds. Thomas is such a fcking partisan hack.

They also declined to grant cert on Indiana restricting bathrooms by biological sex.

The question assumes Dump wins this fall. Why are you relying on the rule of law?

100%. Electing trump would mean none of us get to vote ever again.

[Handyman]

In light of the 2024 election, and the MAGATs’ penchant for bending the rule of law, I have a 22nd amendment question. Since TFG already has one term as POTUS behind him, but was then defeated in his reelection bid, if we as a nation should fail to defeat him this time, would he be eligible for reelection in 2028? I’m thinking about Grover Cleveland and how he’s counted as twice as POTUS.

On one hand, the 22nd makes it clear that no person can serve 3 terms anymore, but that Cleveland hitch to history has cased me to wonder.

Grover Cleveland was President in the 1880s. The 22nd Amendment didn't happen until 1947. There was no steadfast rule about Term Limits until after FDR.

Cleveland has no bearing on any of this.

(not trying to be snarky)

If the MAGAts wanna mess with the 22nd amendment, go ahead. That’ll just guarantee a third term for Obama…

[ScoobyDoo]

Why are you relying on the rule of law?

I was wondering the same. The rule of law is more elastic than ever imagined at this point.

No. Two terms is the lifetime limit

The Bell Riots from Star Trek lore took place in San Francisco in September 2024. Just saying, that's not too far off the mark of reality.

Star Trek also predicted the Irish reunification in 2024

That’s one been talked about for almost a year already. It’s quickly approaching reality for sure.

TBH, the ruling does need some refinement because homeless camps have become a huge problem in basically every city here out west. The ruling has good intentions, certainly there needs to be way better shelter and housing options, but it’s also had some heavy consequences.

Though I’m a bit skeptical on this particular case since it seems to want to legalize the “we want to kick you out and have you become (insert big city name here)’s problem instead of ours” attitude that many smaller localities love.

Honestly I’ve no doubt alito, beer boy and handmaiden would get off on finding ways to further punish poor and homeless

[Jimjamesak]

Supreme Court to hear case challenging ruling limiting the clearing of homeless camps.

If you don’t know about Martin v City of Boise (and I don’t imagine many of you do considering most people here don’t live in western states), it was a 9th Circuit ruling that said anti-camping ordinances couldn’t be enforced if the location didn’t have adequate shelters for the homeless.

Related to SCOTUS, why contemporary rightwing "intellectuals" are such transparent frauds.
