Yeah, I saw this last night and pulled a “Hmmmmmm” face. I think they’re way, way, way premature to file this lawsuit. 

Yeah this is what I was confused by. Obviously it’s a different legal system but over here during the summer the UK Supreme Court declared that Northen Ireland’s abortion policy is incompatible with human rights but couldn’t rule against it formerly and thereby have it revoked because the case hadn’t had a woman who’d…

Yeah, my gut feeling is that it’s going to be far too easy for a judge to rule that there hasn’t been any actual harm yet as they aren’t in the US and haven’t actually attempted entry.

A document I’m scanning through and, like I said, seems to be based around the concept of suing someone for an offence that hasn’t taken place yet in a country they haven’t even entered yet.

Which is all well and good, but the Federal government hasn’t actually breached that agreement yet. They may have said they were going to, but they haven’t. And if said minors never enter into US custody, they won’t have, at least where the premise of the suit is concerned in relation to this article.

Sadly, I think they played their hand a little too soon because there has been no actual harm to the plaintiffs yet. They would have a better chance if they waited until after there was an actual affirmative action on the part of the Trump administration beyond just Trump puffing his chest before an election. 

This isn’t a defence of Trump’s disgusting policies but I’m confused as to how people can sue a country they aren’t in for an act that hasn’t taken place yet.

Back when it was an autographed photo at a set up, plotted out event; I don’t see any issue with “Can you sign this for my Aunt Blah, she’s your biggest fan.”

I find very weird people wanting to take pics or video of a famous person just because they are walking on the streets.

It's brilliant . So so moving. Please watch it when you get the chance.

If you had done your research you might have found out why.

I know!

He became popular in 2013 during protests co-opted by the right,

Splinter is commentary; they just comment on stories published by actual news sources - which is why their news stories always contain links to actual news sources reporting the stories.

Your first problem was catering to a demographic other than cats.

Ppeople still want their info handed to them. I’m a librarian and so many people think we’re magic (I mean, we are, but I do get tired of people not even trying). If there’s a hiccup in their quest for whatever, they basically throw up their hands and go “whelp I’m done.” Then turn to us to fix it for them. Like…

These reasons are quite easy to argue with....
