can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

The plus if he pardons everyone is they basically can't refuse to cooperate with an investigation into Trump. Of course we'll have to see if SCOTUS allows a self-pardon. Given their immunity ruling, they might.

If your best example of "was there ever a time a vote against Trump mattered" and your answer is "no, but this time it would have!" you're not doing very well.

Fleet @fleetadmiralj.bsky.social · 6h
But also this is why I kind of roll my eyes at bashing conservative dems who vote for things when it doesn't change the outcome. When dems do it they're republicans. When republicans do it, they're still republicans. Well which is it? Does it matter or not?

The ruling that immunized Trump is perhaps the most anti-constitutional ruling in the court's history. It is certainly up there in the top 5 probably at least. It's absurd the founders meant to set up a situation where the POTUS was immune and also he could pardon anyone who wasn't.

There are countless articles of people insisting Trump only meant "the bad ones." My favorite was *an undocumented immigrant* insisting Trump just meant the *bad* undocumented immigrants. I wonder what they think now.

Major Question doctrine has more or less gone on vacation under Trump, unless there is just some particular ruling Roberts wants to use to try to prove the court is still fair and balanced.

Fleet @fleetadmiralj.bsky.social · 6h
Like, perhaps the classic example is Biden can't do *anything* administratively, but Trump can more or less do whatever he wants unless there is an explicit congressional prohobition they can't just explain away.

Fleet @fleetadmiralj.bsky.social · 6h
This is why 2024 was kind of wild because Trump was very clear that his opinion was "deport them all," using language calling them all criminals. And people heard that and concluded he just meant criminals as THEY defined it, not realizing he was calling them all criminals no matter what.

one problem I'm noticing is that a lot of people are uncomfortable saying they're unsure about things even though the nature of consciousness is kind of one of the classic things to be unsure about.

Like it is to be expected that a conservative court will often not rule the way you want. But it's the extent to which they make sure they rule the way they want against all reasonable legal reasoning in some cases.

Fleet @fleetadmiralj.bsky.social · 6h
I would normally give a pretty big deference to the latter, but the fact that a lot of their decisions has just basically lies in them, or the logic in one decision contradicts the logic in another based on how they want to rule, it is really hard not to conclude the former.

The way JD Vance says this, he is acting as if Abdul El-Sayed is an immigrant who should "show a little gratitude to the country that gave him everything." Once again, it should be pointed out that El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan.
