House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • to change some of the rules around the court you need an amendment because they're in the constitution (lifetime appointments, for instance.)

    The 11th amendment was explicitly also added to overturn a supreme court ruling, so historically passing an amendment was not always a problem and if its a problem now maybe some effort should be placed into fixing the difficulty problem as well.

  • House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision
  • it will happen easily if biden wins. If the court majority becomes 5-4 liberal republicans will absolutely hop on board. Thats why dems should also float an electoral college reform and an amendment to ban gerrymandering. Even a ban on courts creating "immunity rules" should be floated since immunity is something that shouldn't be handed out as often as the supreme court does it.

    The amendment process is long and difficult and honestly being just willing to go through the extra steps makes good headlines.

  • The US will pay Moderna $176 million to develop an mRNA pandemic bird flu vaccine
  • 200 million is a pittance today. Vaccines are generally more effective than pills outside of antibiotics. But more importantly the USDA should be requiring more animal vaccinations and there should be more investment in vaccinating livestock if we're going to continue to eat mammals and birds

  • Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court immunity decision: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution"
  • I do think the funniest outcome of this is that the president could refuse to pay thomas and alito on the grounds "they've already been compensated" and we might even enter a situation where alito and thomas try to rule on their own case, further humiliating them

  • Judge orders surprise release of Epstein transcripts
  • "Donald Trump shielded from child molestation charges by supreme court under presidential acts doctrine"

    "Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes that presidential child molestation is a time honored american tradition starting with Thomas Jefferson"

  • Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?
  • The difference is US culture is bland and stupid. Its con artists, police and shitty corporate bullshit. In fact the last time the US lost a major cultural element it was slavery. I think its about time ditch some more bullshit. The con artists need to be tried for fraud, the police need to be disarmed, the supreme court dismantled and the corporations razed.

  • In praising Cornel West and Jill Stein, Trump said the quiet part out loud
  • Where do you get your news, champ?

    House price inflation has slowed since biden came into office. The NLRB is much improved. The FCC is trying to bring back net neutrality. Theres been half a dozen uses of antitrust laws to keep corporations from consolidating so they can fire workers and jack up prices for consumers. Marijuana is being reduced in schedule such that it can be used medically.

    I would say that Biden has - to any working person who is even half paying attention - been one of the best presidents for average people in the last 50 years. Its a low bar but credit where its due.

    I'd like to see what drugs the original poster is on when making a post.

    What was the historical science debate that seems silliest in hind sight?

    I'm thinking of things like heliocentrism where there was some modern discovery or revelation by science that invalidated a common assumption prior.

    My understanding is that flat earth is more a recent phenomena but I'd love to hear some ancient ideas people now miss. Did people think trees weren't alive? Did people think evaporation was where things simply disappeared?

    I'd would love to hear these ideas.
