  • The ruling only applies to the nationwide injunction that was issued on this order. As I said in my other comment, any individuals can sign onto this simply by asking. There will be a massive flood of options to do this showing up in Monday, I guarantee, so I'm not worried about that.

    It wasn't a ruling on nationwide injunctions in general, it wasn't a legal ruling saying that federal judges cannot do this in the future, and it wasn't an exclusion of anybody from signing on to this.

    As far as the next few years...honestly, we just need to make it to midterms. That's what I'm focused on and worried about. The GOP is already eating themselves alive and fracturing in a million pieces just like his first term, and at record speed. Yeah, shit feels kind of bleak, but people need to think more strategically and manage out how we GET to the midterms without shit getting worse or escalating. That's the important bit.

    Edit: here's a very smart and measured legal analyst that spells it out succinctly: https://www.rawstory.com/msnbc-2672488166/

  • Check your package manager logs to find out. Also check dmesg just in case.

    Edit: you know what...try changing the outlet the monitor is plugged into and see if anything changes. Curious if the signal is weird or the rectifier got damaged by a surge. Maybe try the wall as well to find out if it still does it.

  • That's not what the ruling said, first of all. The ruling said that the 28 states who DID NOT sue won't be included in the injunctions that are being put in place, meaning these asshats took issue with the lower court issuing a nationwide injunction. Any individuals or groups that sue will still be included in the injunction set to go into effect in 30 days.

    Stupid, fuck yes. Overstepping, yup. It is not a ban on lower courts issuing injunctions full stop as you've just said.

  • Probably surge damage, honestly. Was your monitor plugged into the UPS or another surge protector, or just into a wall? Do you have any other cables connecting to your machine that aren't on the UPS or a surge protector? Also, a power strip is not equal to a surge protector.

    As far as the cause, if you're seeing artifacts on screen past a certain position on the screen, that's the screen or cable, not the GPU. Your display adapter sends fully rendered frames to the display and wouldn't have a specific part of the frame that is corrupted if damaged. Anecdotally speaking, if a GPU has damage, it just won't work.

    Also, you may want to check the capacitors on your card and motherboard to make sure they're all still flat and not bulging. If bulging, you took took surge damage and need to redo your cabling to make sure everything is protected.

  • These are awful things, but again, you yourself mention "good faith interpretation". This is a procedural problem with lawmaking in general that if you don't specifically have an action codified in law that says "you cannot do this", people will find ways to work around it. This is the case with both of the things you've mentioned, unfortunately.

    Now, if the existing laws specifically had mentioned these things are illegal AND were in the constitution, and then somebody tried to enact them, thats a different story.

    Instead these things exist because of bad faith interpretation of laws, and need to to be routed out by very specific wording or rulings.

    1. You misunderstand this. The Executive is bound to ensure that laws are enforced, but not tasked or powered to do so directly. Congress controls the purse and lawmaking, and the constitution is very clear that President must ENSURE what Congress passes is enforced. That's extremely clear in Article ii Section iii, and is referred to as the "Take Care Clause".
    2. Sure, this is not untrue, but as we've seen over and over again, if ruling against the constitution, you always create a dead end. So they've just passed something stupid that is technically an interpretation in its most idiotically simple way, but they've then created a disaster on the other side of the legal process. It can't work both ways. Unless they gain control over every judge and jurisdiction to exactly as Trump says, they won't have the ability to control jack shit in this sense. Even after today's ruling, the experts are already saying they've just opened the door to completely drown the courts and SCOTUS with challenges and really fuck over Trump because they've closed one door foolishly, and opened another to attack this bullshit from.
  • They don't need to stop them, because they are unconstituit. You can't make up some bullshit that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and win in court. Any half-assed lawyer can just file the paperwork to get this shit shut down, but that's really the cruz here in that they are expecting people to not have the access to legal services to make it happen in the event they are challenged.

    There will be more specific cases about this specific thing immediately being heard by the lower courts, they'll rule against Trump, and this will end up in the Supreme Court again in the next session, no doubt on that.

    This is a stalling tactic by Trump's psychos to try and make it look they are able to bend the Constitution to their service, which will not happen because...it's unconstitutional.

  • He can put out an order requiring the sky to be green. It's just words, that's the point. The only thing he can affect with an EO are things where his sycophants can enable it to the extent they are involved in the executive branch. NOT the Judicial Branch. The judges who order and enforce the laws can't just ignore the constitution. Birthright Citizenship is in the constitution.

    What the SCOTUS ruling here adds is some dumbshit to make the process more stupid than it needs to be for people without legal status it seems, but it is not a change to the law, or enforcement. That needs to be understood.

    All it's going to take is a specifically angled case to ask the question "Is birthright Citizenship in the constitution? Oh, it is? Well then it's constitutional"

    Another court case that isn't about the procedural nature of obtaining said documentation or status will shut this shit down in a heartbeat, but as others have noted, the legal process of getting it there takes longer than most would like.

  • My point is exactly what you're saying though. Being defeatist isn't productive. Doomscrolling and resigning to the idea that "we're all fucked, might as well give up" isn't helpful.

    If the tremendous outpouring of rejection for this administration's bullshit isn't quite cutting it in the inspiration department for you, then just sit by and do nothing. Your input in the manner you are giving isn't helpful, and it's not doing anything to inspire more people to fight against it.

    Easily changed though. I would prefer people go the other direction with it and get more involved. That's all I'm saying.

  • Executive orders are not laws. As you've seen, his bullshit orders keep getting shot down in court. You can't just DECLARE new laws and procedures, that's not how it works.

    This ruling doesn't change the existing laws at all, but they're trying to change the procedures to the laws. This ruling doesn't do that, but it makes it harder for courts to reject arguments that align with that bullshit, that's it.

  • This had been known since the 50's in urban areas.

    If you give a mammal little choice and they are desperate, they will eat anything. Same with predator fowl like Hawks and Pelicans. This is all well documented. Rabbits are also known to eat meat if necessary.
