        Oh good because I can see Clarence writing a majority opinion about how this would affect his ability to accept free rides on an empty 747.

            Are you a lawyer? Because I feel like this is a really deeply informed roast of Thomas’ opinions.

              Not a lawyer, but the majority opinion on Dobbs had a reference to a 1200s English law saying abortion is illegal and somehow that shows American precedent that abortions have always been illegal and Roe v. Wade was a fuck up. It also stated that it only reversed abortion and looking back to history cannot be used to overturn: mixed marriages(clarence is married to a white woman), black rights, etc. So we’re fucking you with bullshit reasoning but don’t you dare use that same reason so that it affects me.

      It might be overturned by the Supreme Court of Montana, but as a state ruling its totally outside the federal legal system.

      It’s worth noting this underappreciated feature in an overall very flawed system. A similar example: no matter what happens no president can pardon Trump for racketeering charges he faces in Georgia.

        I’m learning so much about the law through this process. And who said Trump didn’t help educate America? :)

      came here to say the same thing and ask others to postulate what their plan is; but then i remembered that this isn’t the first time the young tried to push for something and did nothing.

    I’m intoxicated and follow some NFL communities so I thought this was about Joe Montana for a second.
