Yep I remember reading about him locally and the. One night he showed up here. A politician that actually gives a **** about the people he represents AND has the education, intelligence, and common sense to handle things head-on.Yeah, this comes up once a year and he deals with it everytime. More people like him in government.
Conforming statutory interpretations to "public sentiment" is not the concern to any court. Looking at the judiciary in that fashion is part of the problem, imo.I am a fan of keeping the threat of court packing in the collective mindset.
I think luckily the majority of people who's opinion is relevant, understands that SCOTUS is a fully political institution, if said institution wields unjust authority, buy issuing rulings fully out of step with public sentiment, than that demands political recourse.
This is an uncommonly sensible idea.I'd be for a 27 justice court that hears most cases in 9 justice panels. SCOTUS could hear three times as many cases instead of just noping out on stuff that people actually care about. And maybe they can give some of the last minute death appeals more than just a rubber stamp by the on-call justice. Add in the diversity of opinion benefit and the de-celebritizing of justices and I struggle to come up with reasons not to do it.

I don't understand the "newly vaccinated" addition. I don't know many people outside of healthcare workers who were vaccinated at the time of that stimulus.
Good job republicans
Obviously it's a long way from becoming a law, but this seems like political poison to me. This was from last year. I mean FFS, a full 50% of Black people don't want them. And can you blame them?A House panel advanced a decades-long effort to pay reparations to the descendants of slaves by approving legislation Wednesday that would create a commission to study the issue.
It’s the first time the House Judiciary Committee has acted on the legislation. Still, prospects for final passage remain poor in such a closely divided Congress. The vote to advance the measure to the full House passed 25-17 after a lengthy and often passionate debate that stretched late into the night.
Twenty percent of Americans say in a new poll they support reparations but an overwhelming majority still opposes payments meant to address the legacy of slavery and tackle the persistent wealth gap between Black and white Americans.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll released Thursday found that 1 in 5 respondents said the U.S. should use “taxpayer money to pay damages to descendants of enslaved people in the United States.”
The results were sharply divided along partisan lines, with 80 percent of Republicans saying they’re opposed to reparations while about a third of Democrats said they are supportive. The results were also split among races, with 10 percent of white respondents supporting the idea and half of Black respondents backing it.
That's a bit off from a full 50%.Polling has found long-standing resistance in the U.S. to reparations to descendants of slaves, divided along racial lines. Only 29% of Americans voiced support for paying cash reparations, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll taken in the fall of 2019. Most Black Americans favored reparations, 74%, compared with 15% of white Americans.
Seems like this is just a step to discuss what should be awarded. What if the award is just free education? Would that be an issue? I mean, they should at least get to kill one whitey without consequence, right? At least!The legislation would establish a commission to examine slavery and discrimination in the United States from 1619 to the present. The commission would then recommend ways to educate Americans about its findings and appropriate remedies, including how the government would offer a formal apology and what form of compensation should be awarded.

More Russia news.
low-to-moderate. still plausible. "moderate" might even make it likely. i guess this is good news for you though, for some reasonThe United States intelligence community assesses with low to moderate confidence that Russian intelligence officers sought to encourage Taliban attacks U.S. and coalition personnel in Afghanistan in 2019 and perhaps earlier
Where does the Nation of Islam figure into this reckoning?All those organizations roll into the black panthers, they are the top of the umbrellaWhat about the Black Panthers?It’s going to be funded through the shad tax, shad and shad-like Americans have to pay a tax that is directly transferred to BLM, HBCU endowment funds and BET.
