Russia has an Antenna Array of 32 installations designed to Jam/interfere with GPS placed in Kaliningrad.
Its effective range is 5-6 thousand Kilometres.
Moscow can disable GPS across entire Europe.

If we just arrested UglyStupidPiggy Convict, shacked him, and disappeared him (like ICE is doing to American citizens on zero pretext)
SCOTUS would just have to eat shit on that improper immunity ruling, wouldn't they.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

It's funny how the older I get, the more important and useful things have become that I was required to take in college-things I was sure would never be of any use. I was wrong.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

SCOTUS should have 13 members, one each from each district.
Districts should elect their SCOTUS representative by 2/3 vote to serve a 5 year term after which point they return to their District Court seat.
SCOTUS Justices are DC Judges and are covered by same ethics rules.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
