We need a large-scale reintroduction campaign for large carnivores across the United States. The suburbs need a new kind of jaguar.

Pretrial detention and noise ordinances are unconstitutional.

Huh?

1. While the Supreme Court should not be in the business of making law, neither should it take away rights previously established for any reason.

Classic leftlib view but one I hold very dearly. Perhaps Roe wasn't the right way to go for the pro-choice side and dubious from a constitutional standpoint. But, neither should the courts be in the business of deciding you have a right and then taking it away half-a-century later. Dobbs and its aftermath is an important example of how a government that can give you anything you want can easily take everything away. In an instant. Same with student loan forgiveness.

But everything can be framed in the language of rights — Dobbs restored the right of states to decide their own policy on abortion, and the student loan rulings likewise gave Congress, not just the executive, the right to decide on the issue. The Court resolving an issue instead of letting it work through the political process always curtails the "rights," in some form, of whoever's on the losing side.


Interesting. Are you a sovereign citizen?

No. I'm just unaware of any part of the First Amendment that contains exceptions for speech made at certain volumes or certain hours of the day.

"Speech" refers to the communication or expression of thoughts. You can learn this by looking up the word "speech" in the dictionary. "Freedom of speech" means the freedom to communicate or express whatever thought you wish — the state cannot compel you to express a particular viewpoint or forbid you from expressing a particular viewpoint. It does not mean a right to speak at a particular volume, at a particular time, or in a particular place. Glad I could clear that up for you.
