Well, if pubs would start putting money into public education, instead of taking from it, perhaps that teacher could've received the support she needed to improve as an educator.
I remember a good friend who taught in a high school in Maine…..a school in a Trumplican part of Maine……she called the mother of a student…….the student was struggling……not because the material was too difficult……the student had mental health issues.

The mother’s response? “Do not call me. She’s at school. She’s YOUR responsibility.” Click.

I SO want to make a Momma Flag joke here... but her boy did about as well as can be done so far.

But still, felt obligated to say Fuck duke at at this point bc the whole Maine thing now triggers that. I need to get better, and carry on, but again, Fuck duke
 
I recall reading stories about Confederate soldiers on the way home would pick the undigested kernels of corn out of the manure of Union cavalry's horses and washing it and grinding it to make corn meal mush. Can you imagine how desperate someone would have to be to wade through that much horseshit for something worthwhile?

There’s actually something like that today—it’s called civet coffee, or “cat poop coffee.” It’s considered some of the best in the world, supposedly. These animals—civets, which don’t really look like cats—eat the coffee cherries and then pass the beans through their digestive systems undigested. The beans are then collected, cleaned, processed, and brewed.


I actually had a cup of it once in Bali. Honestly? It was a really good cup of coffee.

Remember, Maine is home to “pearl clutching” Susan Collins.

Newport, ME is INLAND MAINE. That’s Trumplican Country. No clue if the Flaggs are Trumplicans…….they are from Inland Maine.

Damn. I was holding that in reserve for when someone told me what an unlikely story the one I told was. Yeah, I heard about that that a while back.
 
At the risk of dragging the thread back on topic, is this type of scathing rebuttal typical In SCOTUS opinions?

At risk of asking a question i dont want the answer to...do you follow someone who apparently is still fascinated with voter turnout 5 years ago and uses a naked male torso as their profile pic?

Biden had tough questions? I mean he had cards with the questions and answers printed with reporter’s photo next to it.
 
I was born here but I’ve said ugly things about our micropenis president (no offense intended for anyone else with a micropenis,) how long before I am deported. El Salvadoran prison? Russia? China? Ooh ooh North Korea?
 
The tone in opinions (but even moreso in concurrences and dissents) has become quite a bit sharper over the last decade and in particular the last 3-4 terms.
Agree. And as for the idiotic zerohedge commentary, I get the concern about the power of district judges when they issue universal injunctions. But the only way Barrett’s comment about the imperial judiciary makes any sense is if you ignore the existence of the court on which she herself sits. That’s the difference between her concerns and Jackson’s. Her opinion is not just enabling an imperial presidency, but is also neutering the ability of the Supreme Court to exercise its own constitutional power in response to executive illegality. It’s an expansion of the power of the president from both ends.

There's a specific subtext to this particular dispute not entirely apparent in the opinions, which I will describe later when I have a chance.
 
No, it’s the 6 Justices (including Roberts) telling Brown to take her Critical Legal Studies reasoning and put it where the sun don’t shine.
Nothing Jackson wrote has anything to do with CLS, as anyone who knows anything about CLS or frankly the law would know. You assume she's doing CLS because she's black. What she wrote, actually, is sort of the opposite of CLS.

This is also why the avowed white supremacists at zerohedge liked that "nuke from orbit." It was no nuke at all; it was a tepid response that didn't really answer any of her arguments and is frankly embarrassing coming from Amy Coney Barrett. But "Ketanji" is black so they revel in it, having no understanding of what is at stake.
 
Serious question for you, Ram, while you’re here. Are you comfortable with the massive expansions of executive power the Supreme Court has established over the last few terms? When a Democrat is back in the White House, will you be comfortable with him or her being only minimally constrained by the judicial process and being totally immune from any liability for his her acts while in office, no matter how lawless? I know this probably feels good to you guys right now while your own autocrat is in the White House, but do you think you’ll still like what this conservative court has done when it’s ours?
 


“Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because of course, the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they repeatedly asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.And now, all of a sudden—five months into the Trump administration—they realize, “Oh, nationwide injunctions? Yeah, they’ve basically been legally suspect all along.”How convenient, sirs and madam. And it is just gross in its obvious hypocrisy.”
