Ideas control the world. No half measures.
You might not get a ticket, but you might be indicted later. I don’t live in Chicago and don’t get the same news you do.

Yeah, I mean, that's the way it works. Vehicular Manslaughter. Maybe prison. You also get sued civilly, typically have to compensate the victim or the family of the victim.

I assumed the redactions came from the House dems. Is that not right?

Just adding that the Anglo-American conception of “rights” has nothing to do with Kant or Locke, really, as it developed independently and before them. Anyway

The moral component is primarily liberal, ie, Kantian, Lockean, in nature, such that people are treated as individuals with dignity whose rights cannot be trespassed without justification. Treating law as merely rules of a game to be enforced neutrally (John Roberts) misses the entire fucking point.

Well, in that case, Car and Driver says it’s top speed is between 100 and 115 mph. Take it to a track and find out!

It means that people spend too much time looking backwards. The assumption in every war is that it will be just like the last war. It’s why militaries ends up being unprepared to fight a new war. It’s a poor assumption for 2028 when Trump will be excluded or dead and Harris won’t be our candidate.

Yeah, look, it was a tough year. I’ve come to the conclusion, based on everything I already believe, that we need to purge the consultants. I know other people think we need to purge the groups. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Reality is we need good candidates who run good campaigns, which is just the most basic take

But maybe swing state dems are just more likely to vote? Maybe we can always expect voters who hear our messages to be responsive to them? It feels like a basic truism—you gotta give people the counter arguments or they’ll believe what they’re told.

complicated by the fact that swing state voters are probably more likely to vote than non-swing state voters in any given election.

They should run their conscience no matter what. I don’t really think that Harris did that, except to the extent it lost her votes. I dunno. I guess I would expect our candidate to do better in states where they actually campaign no matter what. It’s kind of an uninteresting truism that’s ….

Practically speaking, assume they rule against Trump, would you rather have the district court’s opinion or an opinion written by this Chief Justice? Why? In short, it’s either overruled or it’s fucked. I can always be wrong but don’t get your hopes up.

But you cannot take from it, as some are, the idea that they granted cert to rule against Trump to save face. That is an insane leap of logic. They either took the case because they intend to reverse or they will publish an opinion that all but destroys BRC.

Yes, because there is no need. They don’t weigh in on all substantive issues. Taking cases to satisfy their ego when there is no legal reason for doing so demonstrates the corruption of the court. Country of laws, not men, and all that crap.
