This one I really am having a hard time believing it’s not The Onion. Just fuck all the way off Susan Collins, fuck off to your lobbying job already

Water could easily fix this. I surmise that Susan Collins fears that obvious solution and is therefore a witch.
Please consult your Bible on what to do about witches.

Tell your mom I said too fuckin’ bad, that’s free market capitalism. That ultra realistic AAA grade composite material for Matt Gaetz’s new RealDoll has to come from somewhere. You can print that and put my name on it.

“any judge of this state who purports to enjoin, stay, overrule, or void”
So the judge doesn’t actually have to do any of those things, they just have to appear like maybe they did.

Hey, dumb question for lawyers: what’s the deal with precedent? There’s always talk about respecting precedent and what-not, but what if the precedent sucks balls?
“Respecting precedent” is just there as a potential way for conservatives to score a calvinball goal. Liberals are stupid and have clutched on to it as if it actually matters, but it doesn’t–it only matters when a conservative majority needs it to matter to get to the result they desire. Since our country sucks and has sucked for a long time, most precedents probably suck too, so we should want more throwing out of precedent (but obv that only really works when the people throwing out the precedent aren’t giant pieces of shit like our current SC)

I know, right. A fucking investigation for that?
We’re not as far from protestors being Russia-style jailed for holding up blank signs as we may think.
People had to be on the sidewalk for a good chunk of time writing that in chalk. It’s not like they were hiding.

In either country, demonstrators must have permission from the state to hold such a demonstration, with those numbers, on public property, or face arrest
People are really ignorant of the legal limitations on protest in the USA, because the depth of their knowledge stops at the first amendment, without any knowledge of its limitations in practice and theory, and the amount it has been curtailed by the Supreme Court
I have filled out the application for a protesting permit inside a police station and a couple thousand people came to it and no arrests were made. I have been to a protest lacking such a permit and been brutalized and arrested.
There’s a good argument to be made that the former wasn’t really a protest at all, relative to the latter.

there is a great chasm of qualitative difference between us and russian brands of totalitarianism. i’m on the record saying that us is taking the worst of russian authoritarian tactics and implementing them, with the caveat being that us institutions will take longer to fall apart
