"in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell."
~ "Justice" Clarence Thomas, page 119

I would like to thank Justice Thomas for pointing out that the claims that these issues would never come under attack were asinine, stupid, and likely out and out duplicitous. They were, most kindly, naive.

  The only clueless one is you

"Clueless" would be anyone who thinks the current radical activist Court will respect stare decisis on any culture war issue, no matter how it polls. Dems should plaster the suburbs with the Thomas concurrence and the Texas Repo platform between now and November.

(George Takei double dares)

I like Mr Sulu's tweets.  If he ever wants to take the helm of our starship, he has my vote.

As for Justice Thomas, he should be concerned for the assault on reproductive rights that took place when Ginni married him and administered the orchiectomy.

I wonder if Justice Alito has thought about the scenario where his daughter is kidnapped and raped and held hostage for 6 weeks, released in Mississippi, but cannot remember who she is, and she must carry to term the rapist's baby. And, when the kidnappers and rapist are found, they fight off the police with their assault weapons and their concealed carry weapons, and escape to DC, where they find his wife and he in hiding and shoot them with those same weapons, while saying they are acting in the name of God, of course.

Just wondering.

And result in guys being more responsible with their penii.  Which would be for the good of all.

Too many just out there shopliftin the pooty.

Thanks again, Kid!

America, where the state can't tell you that you can't own a gun or carry a concealed weapon, but it can tell you that you must have a baby.

With the global warming, and the new Germany emerging here in the USA, Canada is starting to have a lot more appeal for some of us.

A democrat observation on Biden energy policy



The president should unwind the bureaucratic hurdles to the federal permitting process that his administration installed. They made the regulatory environment so restrictive and unpredictable that construction of new U.S. energy infrastructure has ground to a halt. Investors are wary of the projects that would increase American energy supplies, fearing the administration will block them. Approving the Keystone XL pipeline would be a great way to signal that they need fear no more.
Mr. Biden should also expand oil and gas leases on federal land. After a federal court reversed his attempt to stop leasing on federal lands, in April the administration took to a new tactic of limiting what areas are available for energy extraction. The government will offer only 144,000 acres, though it owns and manages 640 million acres, or 28% of all the land in the U.S. Federal land in total is about six times the size of California. Yet the area the administration has opened to leasing is less than half the size of Phoenix. More that can be made available in a safe and responsible way.

Mr. Biden should stop vilifying U.S. energy producers, many of which are leading the development of technologies to mitigate carbon emissions and make the transition to cleaner energy. Initiatives such as the new carbon-capture project Chevron announced in May are common among these companies. They are  our allies, not our enemies.
Working with the private sector, the administration could develop a national energy strategy to provide Americans a robust supply of affordable energy.

Harold Ford, Jr was democrat Congressman in the Tennessee 9th District from 1997-2007.

Any reputable scientist will tell you carbon capture requires green energy infrastructure to achieve its stated goal.  In present form, most proposals are greenwashing.  Just the latest version of ethanol type scamming.   Biden is doing everything he can to promote the absolutely essential and pressing need for green energy development.  And Big Oil is doing everything they can - ad campaigns, donations to politicians, RW media blitzes, lobbying - to impede the vital process.

Now Roe belongs to the States.

We should return the 2nd Amendment to the states as well, as the Amendment itself clearly implies.

A palpable hit, sir!

Canada has a higher per capita carbon footprint than the United States.  A lot of it is geography.  More dispersed population, more miles traveled on visits.  Melting permafrost in the northern reaches, releasing CO2 and methane.  Higher NG usage (for obvious reasons).  Clearing boreal forests and soils to extract liquid bitumen from tar sands.

It is going to be a long season. There is a lot to do in terms of kicking republicans, destroying their infrastructure, and silencing their leaders.

The Second was never taken from the States. Roe was.

[facilitatorn]

The constitution grants states a right to regulate their militias, a right taken away this week by the court of majority illegitimate justices.

Since they got two rulings in a row dead wrong they should leave the court and head to law school or a library and reapply for a later opening once they have some clue about logic and jurisprudence.

What is your point?  Most of Canada is not in the narrow belt of mild Pacific weather where Vancouver lies.  Canada averages much colder than the US. 

Montana is much colder than Washington, on the same latitudes, but we still count it in determining average temperatures for the US.

And none of this addresses the core point of my previous post, so I wonder why it's such a focus for you.
