Why am I seeing so many Oklahoma license plates in the last month or so? Swear it's gone from once a week to 3 times a day.

HBA's live YouTube continuing education today features two lawyers who've been breaking the government on behalf of fossil carbon (and particularly coal which is dying hard anyway) over the last couple of decades. Did much of the heavy lifting in West Virginia v EPA and then killing Chevron. Very tempted to troll them hard in the comments. This dick just bragged about writing an op-ed in the WSJ that after West Virginia, Chevron was going to die next. Good job, everyone on Leonard Leo's payroll has been going that way for a decade so it was entirely predictable, but you're a Swami.

no that's where there was a grocery store on the east side and apartments on the west side, and now there's a grocery store on the west side and apartments on the east side. anyway, worth a trip over to fiesta no. 1 every once in a while.

common misconception. we have the electoral college because even among free citizens the right to vote was subject to different requirements, some requiring property ownership, some requiring a tax to be paid, some allowing free black men to vote, and new jersey even extended the franchise to unmarried women property owners. so a state which extended suffrage would have comparatively more votes to count in a system where more votes wins. it didn't exactly encourage democracy in the way that having a direct election would have encouraged the states to extend the franchise much faster than than did, but that's not antidemocratic. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_719.asp keep in mind that many states didn't adopt winner take all in the electoral college (which makes it much more antidemocratic) until the second competitive election in 1800, and in the first party system you voted (if you did, some states the legislatures just picked) for an elector, not the person at the top of the ticket. anyway, the original system was so dumb it was axed after just two competitive elections because *of course* political parties were going to emerge.

No one here is advocating a monarchy.

What the filibuster and the structure of the senate favor is minority rule. The filibuster makes an antidemocratic institution (the senate, which features both non-apportioned districts and overlapping terms, each if which is antidemocratic) even more antidemocratic. It should be done away with for that reason alone and I don't give a shit about what party it benefits.

Changing the senate, supreme court, and getting rid of the electoral college, all anti-democratic institutions, is threatening our democracy. Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

I wonder how much EV sales momentum slowing (sales are still growing unlike full size trucks) is due to everyone announcing that next year's model will have a NAICS port? Anyone paying attention was going to wait.

I had the opportunity to look up Hugo's IP once and he checked out.

These are people who just can't fathom that Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone was coordinating with Russian asset Julian Assange and usually bleat about pee tapes or Alfa bank.
