@Phil i look forward to your consistent disapproval of egregious forum shopping in pursuit of nation injunctions by conservatives during the Biden administration.
i was then, and would still be be for, reforms to stop forum shopping. but even then, i would never be for a law that can only be applied in disparate patchwork unless and until the Supreme Court deigns to intervene.
@realcaseyrollins @Phil i just don’t have time to litigate with you what we’ve all understood the Constitution to say for 150 years right now. and neither did the Supreme Court justices, who did not rule on the “merits” of these arguments, just said if there are any merits, only they, at their own discretion, can choose to give them effect.
the Supreme Court is playing a Jenga game, pulling away one protection at a time of the vague, lived “it’s a free country” experience many of us associate with America. at first nothing seems to happen.
@realcaseyrollins @Phil here birthright citizenship.
@Phil it is retarded. it’s what the Supreme Court has done, made black letter violations of law enforceable only hypothetically in ever shifting patchworks with particularized costly litigation. this is your world. you and your movement have made it. i suspect you will regret it.
@Phil no. i mean jurists who value rule of law.

@scott we should try “feet on the air and head on the ground” and see how the same correspondents react.
By far the most common SMS message I send is “stop”.
@lori @marick i’m for cooperative competition, a la good sportsmanship. if you win the competition, you get a trophy and some real honor, but we all retire to the pub together, celebrate and lament, all eat well. competition as a mutual spur to excellence, not an existential struggle.
@marick absolutely. silly dance parties, abundant housing, amazing education, free health care should exist as options, but there should be no compulsion. except for kids, some compulsion, it’s the juvenile condition under any system. people who don’t identify as queer or commie are great and always welcome! (i think all the humans are queer and ‘commie’ is just a free-floating epithet to reappropriate. i’d describe myself as a social democrat, but if they wanna call us that why not embrace it!)
that so often "insane" vibe-coding prompts are "clone this popular app!" suggests that coding LLMs are better copy machines than architects of applications.
i think democrats should rebrand themselves "queer commies for abundant housing, free health care, amazing education, and silly dance parties".
personally i like it, and it's unlikely to be worse branding than "democrats".
who lubricated the present that it slips so easily into the past?
