You don’t.

Damn, isn’t life disappointing?

Turns out if murdering children is a means to your end, you just can’t fucking do it. Wild.

“We must do what we can to ensure that this conduct is never repeated.

The way to accomplish that goal is to remove from the profession lawyers who betrayed their constitutional obligations and their country.”

“It is important that other lawyers who might be tempted to engage in similar misconduct be aware that doing so will cost them their privilege to practice law. It is also important for the courts and the legal profession to state clearly that the ends do not justify the means; that process matters; and that this is a society of laws, not men.”

My nuanced position is that the constitution doesn't provide the right to be free from feeling unsafe from the content of another's speech.

And it also doesn't provide the right to be free from arrest when trespassing on private property despite it being in protest.

“An enlightened zeal for the energy and efficiency of government will be stigmatized as the offspring of a temper fond of despotic power and hostile to the principles of liberty. An over-scrupulous jealousy of danger to the rights of the people, which is more commonly the fault of the head than of the heart, will be represented as mere pretense and artifice, the stale bait for popularity at the expense of the public good.“

JasonPerseus,
@JasonPerseus@mas.to avatar

“It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; . . .”

“. . . and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government.“

“History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.”

Not to be a doomer, but this isn't even the question.

The question is whether enough people would even take the vaccines if we made them, and the answer is clearly: No.

I think (I think it's Alito actually, I always confuse the two) is floating that Presidents should just pardon themselves because that has never been decided by the Supreme Court.

BECAUSE SELF PARDONS ARE LEGAL FUCKING NONSENSE

I won't be posting live updates, but I am listening with rage.

Parsing voices: Alito (maybe it was Gorsuch) and Kavanaugh were definitely interested in the "clear statement rule" which would pretty much provide blanket immunity to all criminal laws except 1-3 laws.

Barrett seemed skeptical of the immunity claims.

Jackson just is constantly on a roll so that goes without saying.

On a tangential note, I don't care how much an attorney believes in zealous advocacy for their defendants, any attorney that stands before the United States Supreme Court and argues in defense of tyranny by unelected ruler should be ostracized from the legal community and society in general.

The legal community needs to do more norm enforcement.

JasonPerseus,
@JasonPerseus@mas.to avatar

I think it is (I think now that voice I hear is Alito, which makes sense with how insane it all is) now that is essentially saying we cannot trust grand juries to do their job correctly.

IF THAT IS THE CASE: WHAT ABOUT NORMAL PEOPLE SUBJECT TO THEM?

There is justice for the wealthy and powerful and fuck-all for everyone else.

One reason I know we will be perfectly fine without is because we were perfectly fine a few years ago without .

And we were perfectly fine without , , , (#X), and all the other private companies that walled off the internet into small caged hellholes of people screaming at each other while branding them well-maintained gardens of deeper connection and freedom.

I also don't like independent marketers ("influencers" - lmao), so shrug.

I drank coffee there daily for more than a decade and I haven’t spent a cent there in more than two years since.

Not a penny for their anti-labor thoughts.

Excuse me, but my crimes were committed in the lawless pre-pando times before COVID-19 prompted us to form a rules-based order with laws to follow.

“It’s not too late, because it’s never too late. No outcomes are ever preordained, nothing is ever over, and you can always affect what happens tomorrow by making the right choices today. The U.S. Congress is finally making one of those right choices. Soon, American weapons and ammunition will once again start flowing to Ukraine.”
