What will be assured is that Corporate profits will soar, whether or not this will result in cheaper costs for the consumer is the real question.

Wait a minute, roboreich; don't you see the connections? Hitler was also a socialist, and he too hated normal people. That flag is more relevant than your woke brain can comprehend.

Love it! They all belong together in hell.

I'm sorry, comrade, but I don't have the time or the bandwidth to study this shit in order to fight the pseudoscientists at their level. I rely on history and what I see with my own eyes. That's all anyone needs to put you lunatics behind them.

It's not Indonesian cooked rice.

You mean like open borders, the second amendment and free speech? All things the left has tried to change without amending the constitution before getting violent when we did not accept. You guys even tried to kill SCOTUS because they didn't rule your way on abortion. Before you try to get all high and mighty, maybe actually try being reasonable and respectable first.

Oh, please! 🙄 You guys have been predicting the end of the world for decades now. Just own it.

A good decision delayed is still the right thing to do for all that. Now we all know obsessively frugal people among our number who hate spending money, even government money. I often think it’s a great pity they are never called upon to oversee projects like this. If a particular staircase is going to help blow a, say, 50 million budget, maybe we don’t need to restore it?

If Republicans don’t like something in the constitution they should campaign to amend it. That’s the normal way to do things. Further eroding the restrictions on campaign finance is a very bad idea for ordinary people of any political stripe. It paves the way to oligarchy. The megarich will become even more influential than they already are. Political arguments should be won on their merits, not on the size of the wallets supporting them.

Laws are below SCOTUS decisions. They do not carry the weight of laws and they do not regulate individuals. You keep equating rulings to laws and that just is not the case. If a law is passed and signed, it does go into effect, even if SCOTUS rules against a similar law or EO. Remember Biden's multiple EOs giving away money to buy votes? He disguised it as a loan forgiveness. SCOTUS said no, he just changed a few words and did it again. Trump could do the exact same thing. But Kavanaugh set forth a better path. Laws are being crafted today. They will show up soon.

[Another facepalm image, because holy shit...] Library of Congress Each branch of government produces a different type of law. Case law is the body of law developed from judicial opinions or decisions over time (whereas statutory law comes from legislative bodies and administrative law comes from executive bodies). SCOTUS decisions absolutely have the force of law--law that is binding on the executive and legislative branches. Has been since Marbury. You could argue that they don't create "new" law, since they are interpreting existing laws, but those interpretations in a majority opinion do define what is legal and what is illegal. No, Kavanaugh's opinion is not important. Nor does he lay out a path to comply. He lays out a hypothetical of how his thinking could be changed. A proposition which 5 other justices just smacked down in no uncertain terms. That's not a path forward. Nor should it be.

Why do you support Nazis?

I am not defending something I did not say and you cannot quote. Wow. Ok. Do you need lessons on reading for comprehension? Nope. SCOTUS rules on the Constitutionality of a law (or in this case an EO). Their interpretation of why it is or is not Constitutional colors how laws are created going forward, but it does not create a new law. It creates precedence for lower courts to interpret laws going forward. The ruling is not law. This is why Kavanaugh's concurring opinion is important. He laid out a path to comply with the ruling. I am sure it will be challenged. But it is a path that the court would approve. We can modify 8 USC § 1401 and comply with this ruling.

Yes, you did. It's literally the opening premise of this thread: "Trump's EO is not valid. However, it is constitutional." Five supreme court justices just signed a majority opinion that very clearly states that the constitution means exactly what it says. Kavanaugh mused that maybe if they passed legislation to XYZ. (But nope, see majority opinion.) You then claimed that Kavanaugh's musings made the end of birthright citizenship constitutional. Because you don't know what a majority opinion is--or didn't at the time. It's an incorrect statement. And yes, a majority opinion does have the weight of law. Not just the decision of the case, but the opinion itself. That interpretation of becomes the binding interpretation that is then used by every other court and state and federal governments must follow. Again, this is just an absurd question to begin with. No legal thinker anywhere is unclear about what the constitution says or what it means. But there are some who don't like it and are twisting themselves into pretzels looking for any possible way to misinterpret plain language and overturn 160 years of common understanding.

Please quote where I said "it's a crisis". You think you can win debates by lying about what the other side says? I'll quote myself. "It's a serious but not a Doomsday scenario".

So you're saying people haven't been mating and procreating for for as long as we have existed? Or did you simply not get the point, as usual?

Sober up!

No. You believe it all and don't understand the difference. WTF are you talking about? Every day. It's called salt. And I need a big helping every time I read one of your posts. Mirror much? SO WHICH IS IT? You don't watch it at all but you know what Rosemary Barton said 'just this morning'!? Are you really that self-unaware? Or you watch CBC on FB and just parrot someone else's opinion about it? We're all laughing at you.

Well I won't hold my breath waiting for things to get cheaper, but if AI does eliminate too many jobs, that will necessitate a guaranteed income.

Like I said, they're oblivious

I think we should start Soylent Green Farming. Would not need any fertilizer, and it would help with climate change. And as an added bonus it would take care of diseases like Maple MAGA retardation. Not too mention Soylent Green wafers stay crunchy even in milk. Win, win. Far too many people on this rock.

What makes sense? That all y'all been smoking way too much catnip? 😄

It's literally the definition of an ad hominem. I'll add your lack of understanding of this term to the pile along with Dunning Kruger, cognitive dissidence and all of the other terms you misuse on a regular basis
