Right, but the supreme Court would just find that law unconstitutional. Or ignore the implicit meaning.

Well There's your problem just did an episode on that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K4yCXIZ32lk

They take getting caught seriously, not the stuff they get caught at.

Wut. I'm not sure if this is a distinction without a difference, or a subtle distinction that I need a better grasp on continental philosophy to comprehend.

It's like saying a state doesn't take murder seriously - they take getting caught seriously. It's technically true if you parse it a certain way, but ultimately meaningless

this kind of thing is not bad because it endangered people’s lives, it’s bad because it makes them look bad and might impact their exports

Something can be bad for multiple reasons. Also, there's multiple actors here. The operators of the state-owned enterprise have different incentives than the regulators

Fun fact: the constitution talks about supreme Court justices having immunity just as much as it talks about presidents having immunity

Yes. That's why the government is chock full of conservatives like Thomas who like to visit reactionary capitalist countries like Russia

Holy fuck that article is sickening. The level of dehumanization it truly insane.

It makes the US in Iraq look like a humanitarian operation. Fuck, even the US in Vietnam seems like it was way more disciplined.

Not really. In the UK, the center-left won which was widely expected. The greens (left) did slightly better than expected. And the far-rightnot really. In the UK, the media said that the center-left labour was going to win in a landslide. And they did.

But in France, after the centrists and the left decided to not compete with each other, the left actually came out on top. Where's in the UK, the left (mostly greens) is still very marginalized.

The fact the NYT is reporting this makes me think it's joever

I think you mean like Peru and Chile told Bolivia,

sitting in front of the largest ruby in the world

Are we the baddies?

He would've turned 99 yesterday

His percentages were even higher than Putin in those races

Biden is splitting Democrats. The center-left is split, and now even the centrists are starting to split among themselves.
