He did apparently finally get around to considering them yesterday.

I know. I take small solace in the fact that more people understood it was sarcasm than didn’t.

Thanks for sharing. I want to go back and do post grad work in social policy research (among other things), but I can’t do it until the kids are just a little older. With every year that passes I worry about getting accepted and whether my brain will be up to that level of study by then, so this gives me hope.

Keep up the good work.

>I’m also not sure where you’re getting the idea that “all” of the choices have a history of being hostile to groups of people.

. . . I’m fairly certain where you’re going wrong is the whole “with no regard to law” bit. The Equal Protection Clause is the law. It’s been the law since the Civil War. The rationale behind using it to protect the marriage of gays and lesbians in Obergefell is based on Loving v. Virginia, which has been law for…

Let’s flush out what QuanYin, the law student, said. SCOTUS ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that consensual homosexual behavior cannot be criminalized. One of Trump’s nominees supports laws that criminalize that particular sexual activity. That’s a problem, not only because his stance is morally repugnant but also because…

Help us, Obi QuanYin-obi! You’re our only hope!

You would think that would count more, but somehow I think being lesbians will be a strike against you in his book. Damned if you do, etc.

Wow, you do sound a lot like me! I am pretty sure I am currently in Austin and not capable of bi-location. I am capable of bi-other things though, hardy har.

Yes! Someone on Instagram of all places challenged me to name one way being a woman negatively impacts my day to day life. It doesn’t. Because I am privileged in many, many other ways. But I won’t sit idly by while other people are fucked over by the system that allows me to go about my life without worry.

This. I went down to my local march and wore a cat hat that I already owned. but even if we were counting it was $3. I bought a coffee for $2 and a soda for $3, which benefitted local businesses. I had the death flu all week so I didn’t make a sign, but it I had it would’ve been on a piece of cardboard from my garage.

Or gased somehow- I was watching it live.

I’m also getting really sick of people saying “but if he’s abusing her, she can’t leave”. Not true. Just like you, I was abused growing up. I, a kid with less resources and zero real/perceived way to escape other than college, got out. I got so far away I ended up halfway around the world. It took a huge amount of…

Umm, you mean the Peter Thiel supreme court of the future where “not being nice to rich people” is the worst of all crimes?

Considering Scalia was on the side of good during the Brown (?) v Texas decision to allow flag burning as ‘freedom of speech’, it shows even the most right-slanted can protect the First Amendment.

Regardless of how slanted the SCOTUS gets, it can’t take away the right of the people peaceably to assembl, can it?

It’ll come down to “who defines peaceably” and the answer will be “the police” and then that answer will always be “no, this is not peaceful... open fire.”

I have enough hope left in humanity to think that even Justice Kennedy will refuse to let this law through, so Trump’s future nominee isn’t where the balance hangs, here. But, tbh, I’d still feel better about it with Scalia on the court. And now that I’ve added THAT to the list of phrases I thought I’d never say, I’m…

I tried to star you and the number went down! So I’m posting to say that you are inspiring.
