One thing that I did find pretty ridiculous in that hearing though was the "discussion" about how if they allow Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot, the projected outcome is that "the presidency will be decided by a handful of states" I wonder if the justices are genuinely unaware of "the electoral college" and "status quo" or if they were being purposefully intellectually dishonest.

I'm a very techy person and I'd say I'm pretty worried about how to wrangle/control all of the apps/content that my daughter can access. I think it's very reasonable argument that it shouldn't be parents' responsibility to parry a tsunami created by tech companies with immunity pursuing massive profit. If we still argue it should be parents' responsibility, I think it's very reasonable to determine how realistic that really is for an average parent.

I really enjoyed being able to listen to this oral argument, even though I'm fully aware the justices already all have their minds made up. The talking heads were saying they thought Trump's team would concentrate on this office/officer technicality but really Trump's defense had what felt to me like a much stronger argument. I thought the argument he was making (paraphrasing) where he said if you take him off the ballot, you're essentially blocking congress's power to "remove" the designation which is also stated in the amendment, was a very strong argument. So for instance, it's objectively determinable whether TayTay will be 35 by the time she's president. However it is not objectively determinable whether Congress would remove the restriction. It's very similar to the same question we were discussing elsewhere where the Constitution says the criteria to be president but it doesn't' say anything about criteria to run for president. I thought Trump's attorney did a good job, maybe he even convinced me. I still think he engaged in insurrection and the constitution says you can't do that and be president, but I also agree with the reasoning presented.

Biden was totally exonerated

sorry your expectation is wrong. If they don't charge they're supposed to STFU. He didn't charge. He shoulda STFU

so the media is in a fluster because... a Republican said bad stuff about Biden? What a f'ing joke

I'm sick and tired of special rights for Republicans. The SCOTUS needs to bounce this bleeper off every ballot forever. Of course instead they'll probably just find a way to make him president today.

the trump admin's doctor feelgood I'm highly entertained over here with the exception of no Ukraine funding

All for a total stunt that's going nowhere even if it passed the house. It's almost as if governing isn't the point......................

yeah, I want that funding but I thought it was bull**** that Ukraine Aid was a concession to Dems from Republicans in this deal. So something they support anyways was a concession

I'm glad the immigration bill didn't pass. I hope Biden makes MAGA own the border now.

Absolute ****show 🤣

count me as someone who's totally wrapped up in this Tracy Chapman/Luke Combs thing. That performance and the crowd reaction is pretty damn overwhelming for me and is honestly the thing I love about music. I put it right up there with some of the greatest rock performances I've ever seen. All of the people singing back to them kills me. I've never listened to any of Luke Combs's music but have seen him on College Gameday and read other news articles about him and he seems like an awesomely legit dude. I'm probably going to give some of his songs listen. I'm not at all a country music person (but learning country music guitar now) and like I said about it being what I love about music, it could be a new road for me.

I definitely need a debate between these two to know where they each stand and how I should vote

I am surprised, but McConnell did filibuster his own bill when Obama was president so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

it probably would have helped biden politically but if it's a conservative wishlist then I guess I'm glad it's dead

if you wanted to cross the US border illegally, which option would you choose: 1) go when government officials are saying the borders are open or 2) go when government officials are not saying the borders are open

I don't know.

I think it's real but would be way less if the GOP stopped falsely advertising open borders for the cartels.

In the literal sense they're not open. Even the GOP tweets out the number of border apprehensions and narcotics confiscations which are both antithetical existence proof to the notion that borders are not open.

I think one of the biggest issues in immigration is politicians proclaiming falsely that the border is open. These politicians have voluntarily become the cartel marketing department and have obviously impacted the flow of migration toward the US.

There hasn't been unchecked immigration over the last 3 years.

I think it's not w good intentions though, I think it all stems back to Trump not hating immigrants enough for blonde skeletor

I didn't vote for Biden or against Trump because of tarrifs so I'm not a hypocrite per esweig
