I somewhat disagree. Both brent and SJ are getting on people's case for being so upset and constantly protesting about it. If we were talking something minor, they might have a point, but this is about kids being taken from their parents, and MOST Americans find that reprehensible. Protesting and constantly bringing it up is one of the most effective ways to change the policy. Which has proven to be true.
I agree of their point that the derps are not going to be swayed by that position, but big deal- we are finding that they are more marginalized the more we go along. A MUCH higher portion of Americans really found that position to be sick and wanted it changed as fast as possible.
If it really bothers you that the news is reporting the facts, don't watch the news- turn the channel to faux, and they will distract you to some meaningless BS like they always do. But don't complain that I'm using my free speech to speak and be really angry that we are interning kids.

It was not my intention to get on people’s case. I simply stated that I agreed with the NYT column that responding to Trump by resorting to Trumpesque tone, language and behavior probably isn’t optimal.
Opponents of Trump probably have no greater ally than the NYT. They’re doing yeoman’s work during difficult times for newspapers. I’m just amused that when they wrote, “hey guys, maybe we dial it back a notch,” everyone here responded by going full Howard Beale.

And that's why the same discrimination laws that protect races, religions, gender, and people of color from being discriminated against need to apply to sexual orientation as well.
Nazis still shouldn't be a protected class, though. Sorry Sarah.

You have the right to protest. Just don't exercise it.
All it does is make you look crazed and hysterical and pizzes people who don't agree with you off.
Ummmmm, yeah.

If you promote someone who contemptuously defies every norm of civility, and argue that civility doesn’t matter and that its absence is refreshing and honest, and build an ideology around upsetting people .... folks might start to take you at your word, and you may not like it.
Also: if you promote a pathological liar, constantly argue that his lies don’t matter, try to portray his lies as a rhetorical style, and deflect criticism of his lies as “fake news” or partisanship, when it comes time for you to point out a lie, you may find nobody gives a ****.

The court didn't side with religion. It punted. It found some remarks by a commissioner that it thought indicated bias. Many commentators on SCOTUSBlog felt Kennedy signaled he'd have sided with the gay couple absent that appearance of bias. I think that's probably right given he's written every major decision involving gay rights in the last few decades, but I probably wouldn't put money on it.
Re: POTUS: 45.36: I Designed The Sears Tower, I Make 2 Grand An Hour
The issue I had, was that people (which in the above post includes you) said I didn't want reports about the caged kids coming out. That is so incorrect it's laughable. I said that the audio of the crying kids, this single thing, was a cheap ratings grab, because of COURSE kids will cry when they get taken from their families. Everything else about the separation, the treatment, how officials are acting, should absolutely be reported, and I said so in many posts.

IMO, what happened was two protected classes were going against each other in this particular case. It's a big can of worms. We're talking industrial-sized can.

If that audio shocked the conscience of even one person who otherwise was ambivalent about the situation, it served its purpose and was properly in the news. Even in a greyscale world, there are still some black and white issues, and stealing kids from their families is one of them.
Again, playing the detached unemotional centrist who thinks everything has two sides is fine on things like tax policy. It's less kosher when it comes to, you know, creating modern day internment camps.

That was decided 50 years ago when the same arguments were used to discriminate against black people. Religion lost. It's not that hard of a question. Or, at least, it shouldn't be. Even Scalia had his limits.

Most things have two sides, and there is also a LOT of gray between those two sides. The example I'm going to provide is not meant to start a discussion on the example, that is for another thread, it is merely an example: abortion. There are Right To Life people, and there are Anti-Abortion people Side A and Side B. But there are some from both sides that will make exceptions to their belief in certain circumstances. The exceptions are the gray areas.

False equivalency is the left's greatest enemy. No one does that better than the right. Left always loses no matter how ridiculous the premise. Take climate change. Science is 97-3 yet a "fair and balanced panel" is one of the 3 and one of the 97. ****ing ridiculous.
