You need a supermajority of states to ratify an amendment, and there is no reason for Republican-led states to back any amendment that will reform the current court. But add six young liberal justices with lifetime tenure, and now they will go out of their way to pass an amendment to term-limit the,.

I'm surprised he ever passed a bar in the first place, he seems the type who would always go in and have a few

We can also ask for term limits and other structural things that require a Constitutional Amendment, but we need to do this first.

Then, after passing the law, go to Republicans and say "There! We undid your fucking up of the courts. You have a choice now: either work with us on a constitutional amendment to help us fundamentally restructure the Court and make is less political, or watch us appoint all these Liberal judges to lifetime appointments and you roll the dice on getting control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress to re-fuck it at some nebulous point in the future".

While we are at it, we should add 1 more state. That would give us 53, which is a prime number.

We would truly be one nation, indivisible....

Just don't hook it up to your wifi. Don't use any of its included apps. If you must stream get a separate device to do it.

Is our plan to pollute everything with AI first, so the Chinese bots are trained by our bots?

If you run BGP, yes. Instead, you can always just build up huge-ass fixed routing tables that are impossible to maintain once you get more than a handful of networks....

I can understand why the people who performed the attack consider it to be "extremely targeted". All accounts that I have read say that these pagers were used directly by Hezbollah as an alternative to cell phones, which they believe the IDF have the ability to track. I haven't seen any reputable source claiming that these pagers were in use by the general population. So they consider these attacks targeted at Hezbollah, because only Hezbollah members should have had them.

They were not intending to target children or other civilians, but of course when something goes off at a random time like this there is no guarantee that only the targets are in possession of these devices.

However, I think the attack will end up actually harming Israeli security, for two reasons:

First of all, they put too much explosive stuff in it. If it were a smaller explosion (or even just a short circuit leading to device failure), fewer people would have been hurt, and they would have more claim to say they were targeting communications infrastructure. But if the explosions were smaller, the attack would not have gotten into the news. I think they made the explosions larger than necessary just to make headlines, without regard to collateral damage. I think that's the part that would get any other country into hot water as a war crime.

But more importantly, they have proven to Hezbollah that Israel cannot track these closed pager networks, otherwise they would not have needed to blow them up! So now Hezbollah has learned to open up every pager before deploying, and once they source more devices they have their secure network back.

So in a few months, Israelis will be in a less secure position than they were before the attack, just because some of their leaders wanted to make headlines.

You mean more than we see here on a daily basis?

The GOP seems comfortable enough with Nazis, it's interesting that the Black Nazi was the tipping point....

That Bills/Niners game was wild. Peak Jim Kelly and Steve Young, they each had over 400 passing yards. You would think that neither defense showed up, but there were three turnovers on each side, so they made the big plays, just not the little ones.

I mean, to be fair to those folks, as they are citizens it's highly unlikely that even that guy could get them all deported.

Our Supreme Court just gave him a free ticket to do whatever the hell he wants, as long as it can be traced back to his official capacity. The only check on this is impeachment, which fails as long as 34 Senators are on his side.

Health Care was a bugaboo for him because he needed to get Congress to go along, and those people still need to win their own elections. But he would have all the things he needs to deport all the people he doesn't like, without Congress: a pen to write Executive Orders, a Corps of Engineers to build camps, a complacent Judiciary, and a total lack of a conscience.
