No biggie. Just check your source next time.

Only takes a second more to visit the Wikipedia page to confirm basic stuff like this. If you prefer, you can use the free online version of the Encyclopedia Britannica. I’m a librarian, these are resources I use myself on a regular basis.

Well, to be fair,

the country was founded by rich white guys for rich white guys. That’s all these “originalists” want: the quiet, simpler days of old when, if your woman backtalked you, you could rape her and beat her “humanly” with a rod no bigger than your thumb. Same with uppity everyone else.

He's not saying it explixitly.

But implicitly, he's saying, "I know a guy, youse judges better watch your backs!"

Here's a link to a better article at the Berkshire Eagle

I've seen this just this week in my city library system!

The library website says the Library Commission’s meetings are open to the public, on Zoom. NO LINK WAS PROVIDED. “For questions, call…”

How did I hear of it? My friend called and asked for the link and was DENIED.

Dobbs wasn't expressly included in the Constitution.

And also, I’m pretty sure most of the SCOTUS is getting as sick of tfg as we are. Alito and Thomas will vote to keep him on the ballot because neither care about burning the Constitution, but the other conservatives will be pressed hard by Roberts who will not want to see his legacy completely flushed down the toilet by upholding a dictator.

I would worry more about the sitting SCOTUS

in this case, but think Judge Chutkan’s highly publicized comment reiterating that the US government recognizes no “divine rights of kings” has set the tone for TFG’s legal proceedings going forward. Roberts, wanting to save his legacy, will lobby fellow conservatives hard against giving Trump immunity. He’ll persuade Beer Boy as BB has a weak mind and no actual convictions. The Handmaid’s a toss-up, her Catholicism might lead her to accept the Divine Rights of Kings. But she’s also young, with a lifetime appointment ahead of her, and she’s witnessing firsthand severe cultural backlash to what seemed like Conservative no-brainers before and during the Trump presidency. My guess is she will want a better legacy than upholding a dictator while on the SCOTUS.

Not spreading propaganda.

Palestinian Authority condemns Hamas attack: https://edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-news-hamas-war-10-15-23/h_2d24edd7bb9d823840329113a304a166 (Oct. 15)

Current Palestinian death estimate: https://wapo.st/47BiVHA (gift article, 18th paragraph)
Also at this link: 1,200 Israeli deaths on Oct. 7th vs. 11,000 in seven weeks.

That is a disproportionate response. Netanyahu's literally killed 100 times more Palestinians than Israel suffered in the terrorist attack. This in turn makes Israel MORE of a target as most of the rest of the world views that kind of OTT response as genocidal.

Stating facts doesn't make me an anti-Semite.

I just want to note: the overwhelmingly disproportionate retaliation

by the Israeli government allowed this lie to bloom. No one denied it was Hamas when it happened, including the Palestinian Authority. With little/no infrastructure left, this lie will blossom via oral retellings by Palestinians who no longer have reliable access to global news networks, who have lost their homes as well as multiple friends and families, who are rife with trauma and prime targets for propaganda. Latest casualty estimates say 10-14k Palestinians have been killed in the last seven weeks. Compare that to Ukraine, at war now for just shy of two years, with an estimated 30k killed. That's 30k killed in 21 months juxtaposed against 12k in 1.5 months.

I have a theory about Latino voters.

First of all, they're not a unified body in the US, so any theory is pure supposition. My city has a 40% Puerto Rican population, when I lived in Colorado, it was mostly people of Mexican descent. Florida has Cubans. Etc.

However, biggest factor might be that they weren't kidnapped, brought to another continent, and enslaved, they are either immigrants or their families have been in what is now the US all along. By the time US settlers got west, the Mexican-Americans were speaking Spanish and wearing clothes influenced by Europe, so they were considered innately friendlier/"more relatable" than than the Native Americans the settlers found here.

That, and the conservative Catholic church influence.
