I didn't grow up in a home with a microwave. The first time I ever used a microwave as a kid I tried heating up a frozen meat pie without the tutelage of anyone to guide me. What I got was something between a rock and old shoe leather.

I don't know, I think it'll be pretty exciting for the executive and legislative to each have their own tax collectors and treasury. what it lacks in efficiency, it'll make up for in hijiinks.

Ever notice how often Roberts sides with the liberals when there's no chance his conservative pals will lose?

My first thought was that he wanted to control the language of the dissent, but it looks like Kagan and Jackson were the only authors.

He's Samuel Alito with better PR instincts. That's all.

but Amy was supposed to be Woke now!

Are we done with the "ooh, Barrett is a real maverick!" takes now, or are fools still going to keep trying it?

Libs love a conservative who takes their side once more than pretty much any other type of political figure.

FedSoc's decades of insidious buying of judiciary now pays off in handing power to madman. I salute the Dems for having been asleep at the switch all these years, never waking from their slumber, while Trump slouches towards D.C. waiting to take over...

Good news is that it’s like we’re already cooked anyway

Did they rule on impoundment? I'm a bit confused from the article whether it was impoundment specifically or just about being allowed to pause funds while it works thru the court.

So is Amy Coney Barrett officially pickled now? A new pickle or a sour pickle?

Is this not just a ruling on the tro?

step one: pile a ton of shit from end-to-end in a definable space
step two: done, you have a barricade, but now you need to contend with that in modern street-fighting and, eventually, modern warfare

Please tell us you’ll do an episode on this.

As a geeky aside, the Chief Justice being alone in a 4-5 minority with the opposite ideological wing while the 5 is made up entirely of his ideological wing really shows how much The Court has been captured by outside interests.

I would guess this is exceedingly rare outside of this particular grp

noahhunter.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah…this is a pretty big domino

noahhunter.bsky.social•7 days ago

Though maybe there’s some way to reach ACB in future cases
