When Roberts said “of course Korematsu was wrongly decided” I don’t think he meant that

We are literally taught that if you are give the choice between doing something unethical or quitting, the only ethical decision is to quit. Under even the most lenient of standards, these judges failed that test.

So we are literally emptying what was left of the SPR as a last gasp measure to help Republicans. Amazing what the "national security" he courts pretend we are required to defer to Trump about actually looks like.

Being disappeared to a foreign country that will imprison you, torture you, and only release you if it means deporting you to the country the US cannot send you back to? Well, they should be patient and wait for a remedy.

You're using the measuring stick of mass understanding as a substitute for precision. They aren't the same and you know as much.

And I am pointing out that a layman's understanding of technical work is a terrible basis to determine how well it accurately describes a complex scenario.

If I took 10 random people and put them in a quantum physics course, none of them would understand. Is that evidence of the lack of predictive power of quantum physics?

It's really the software stack that has put them in the driver seat. CUDA tool chains for pytorch, R, and other languages have been around for years and are substantially easier to get performant code without substantial effort.

The Saban family includes the coaches of the reigning national champion and runner up and however many championships Kirby has. I don't think it's in any trouble.
