One of the major problems with originalism is that lawyers are not historians, and real history is not designed to provide the types of arguments desired by legal reasoning.

i did a triple take at this line. the university of michigan apparently jeopardized a grad student's status and got him detained by ICE for almost a month on this basis, which i can only convey to non-academic folks as "absolute horse shit"

Luke told Kame that he did “not meet the minimum qualifications to serve” as TA for the course because he had not taken the course himself, Kame said.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals. Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

this isn't criticism of people "on the left" or saying that you shouldn't expect the democrats to fight. those are things you imagined. what it is is a statement that we are the only people who are going to get the things that we want

Same thing about positivism. It's not ignoring problems and saying they'll go away; it's inspecting the problems and trying to think up solutions to them.

As a mother of someone with a severe mental illness, most of us go broke trying to find adequate resources and help. There is zero empathy from Congress and absolutely no plans to help middle class, working class, or poor people in this country deal with these devastating illnesses.

Months off for depression with pay. Meanwhile people with debilitating diseases or illness would get fired after missing 24 hours and Republicans would argue that’s the company’s choice and too bad for you.

I’ve fought depression every single day for 58 years. Some people do require hospitalization for it, but generally not for anywhere near that long; makes me think there was more to it than just depression. Most of us just have to muddle along without any paid time off.

If Democrats can't make electoral hay of this they are truly incompetent. Every poll I've ever seen shows that the public supports more energy of all kinds. The fact that Trump is claiming an emergency while simultaneously cutting off the cheapest sources of new power is just a lob to his opponents.
