Re: Power of the SCOTUS IX: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the SCOTUS nine that day
It was plainly obvious what you were getting after. It's also plainly obvious that after 2 years, Obergefell still chaps your hide, and so you go after it with the tired slippery slope argument, "If same-sex marriages are OK, then why not polygamy?"
The state has a legitimate financial and legal interest in keeping polygamy illegal. Not so with same-sex marriages.
Please Joe, you don't have to hide your distaste for the decision. Just admit you don't find it natural, and/or the Bible says it's a sin, and that's how you try to live. It's perfectly fine (wrong, but fine).Last edited by FadeToBlack&Gold; 06-19-2017, 05:19 PM.

Let me ask you something, though. Let's say there were several studies with impeccable methodology that cast serious doubt on the hypothesis that having 2 parents was better for children. The ideal number turned out to be, let's say, odd to prevent deadlocks.
Honestly, would you consider re-evaluating your position?Last edited by Kepler; 06-19-2017, 09:00 PM.Cornell University

Originally posted by Handyman View PostGood that program is wrong. The intention is good but the State doesnt get to lock you up for the same crime twice and that is exactly what that program does.
What's worse though is the second lockup has an indefinite hold as well. It's awful.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Re: Power of the SCOTUS IX: The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the SCOTUS nine that day
There was a 4-2 ruling today that federal government officials cannot be sued personally for administrative actions taken immediately after 9-11 to inordinately detain Arabs on legitimate lesser charges while they were being investigated for more serious charges.
Sotomayor and Kagan both recused themselves as they had been involved in some of the original cases, and the case was heard before Gorsuch was seated."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Originally posted by Kepler View PostInteresting. I would have thought that you couldn't sue federal government officials personally for administrative actions in any event, as long as they followed USG policy. Seems odd to me that the case even went forward, so I must be missing something important.
The court essentially said "you should've brought a habeas petition to get free sooner, but you can't sue for money even if your detention was unlawful"

I never quite understand how and when political entities can be sued. Certainly you can sue claiming your rights have been abridged, but you can't sue if, say, Congress bans asbestos and you own Asbestos Kwik-E-Mart, right?Cornell University
