To be fair, it’s not about Cuomo’s speech rights. It’s about the actions of the government to repress an organization’s political speech, as well as Cuomo’s personal, stated and historical animus towards the NRA in his capacity as an agent of the state. 

Not really. This is about first amendment rights and equal protection. They need to show coercion of insurers and banks to cease business with the NRA and selective enforcement of the insurance laws. They can demonstrate the efficacy of the coercion by showing that insurers ceased business and that others didn’t offer…

And conservatives care about starving Planned Parenthood? The NRA can fuck right off.

Why does that make me like Laura Bush just a little bit?

Actually, the constitution and especially the bill of rights IS concerned with protecting you from the government - from the government imposing cruel and unusual punishment, from infringing on contracts, from ex post facto laws, from taking your property without just compensation or due process, from infringing on…

That seriously bugged me, too. How about mentioning that having the policy reversed by the courts doesn’t excuse the horrible actions undertaken by the administration? Or how sluggish and incompetent reuniting families has been? Anything. Seriously. Pivot and respond. When I worked at the MA State House, I was shocked…

Where did I say that this is the death of the free press?

I did quote you, honeybunch. Twice. Sorry you want to walk back your racist words.

Are you trying to paint rich perspective and experience as some kind of logical fallacy that treats the part as representative of the whole? You are an idiot.

Get. A. Grip. I have literally laid out for you multiple scenarios that place dogs in danger, both physically and mentally. - up the the death of the animal (death was at 5-10% with the influenza outbreak, and at a 80% infection rate). Some animals are dog aggressive, and serious injuries do happen. Naturally, the dog…

WTF are you talking about? I never even suggested anything in those quotes. I think America has a complicated relationship with race, particularly with the interplay between its lofty ideals (encapsulated in the constitution) and flawed human beings.

You don’t get it. Trump’s aim is literally to delegitimize the press and convince people that he is the only honest source. He then shuts out the press’s traditional access, and defames any critic. He has convinced the public that the MSM cannot be trusted, and can waive away any negative coverage by deriding it as…

Being able to recite a useless statistic, without understanding any of the context for said statistic, offers nothing. At a minimum, you should think through and research how the information is gathered and what the statistic means. In 30 seconds, I showed you how problematic and meaningless that statistic is.

Why do you seem to think anyone needs to hear YOUR opinions? You literally wrote, “you need me to not agree with you so you can develop a sane perspective on the planet.” That’s an awfully high opinion of YOURSELF.

Once again, you have failed to contend with the systemic nature of police violence, and the extremely problematic treatment thereof by the justice system. How do you explain the failure to even secure an indictment?

Once again, this is about you. You seem to think people need to hear your ideas. They don’t. I have plenty of conservative friends, and I value debate. It’s that your opinions are worthless.

Where did I say that the US has a thirst to oppress?

Once again, avoiding the content of my response. I discussed his approach to the press and the availability of his administration to the press. The media was not crazy about Bush; he never behaved in this fashion. Nixon did not behave like this. What president has called the press the enemy of the people? If you can’t…

He’s not entirely wrong. If it were decided today or under the Rehnquist court, it would be treated as a nonjusticiable under the political question doctrine. And the social and political tensions at the time almost certainly influenced the decision. 

To be fair, we do have same sex marriage and term limits. Universal healthcare, not so much.
