    I understand your position now better than I did prior. My gripe is that I don’t see those two executive orders as apples to apples. I, too, think bump stocks ought be illegal, and agree that an executive order banning them is an overreach, and we probably share disgust at our legislative dysfunction. I don’t feel the same way about enforcing immigration laws against children. I point to the discretion afforded law enforcement as a foundation to counter the charge of executive overreach. I see one executive order as outside the power of office, but not the other. Still, I realize I overreacted, and, for that, I apologize.

    Maybe take the DACA gripe to an appropriate thread, and keep the Supremes thread focused on SQOTUS.

    We live just south of Hays City, and have since ‘99. First year Painted Buntings have fed at our feeders.

    Tax breaks are not the same as buying votes, and you’d be a fool and a communist to think they are.

    Would you please expand on this part of your answer?

    Okay. Explain it to a dolt. Edited to ask that you explain why the right to privacy can be voted away without an Amendment

    I understood your point. Enumerate means to mention. Once mentioned , it becomes enumerated. The ninth uses words, too.
  8. Willfully Horn
    Semantics. When SCOTUS recognized privacy as a right, it became enumerated afaiac, according to the ninth. There was no mention of the consumption of alcohol being a right in the Constitution, and I am unaware of SCOTUS proclaiming it a right. Nevertheless, a Constitutional Amendment was deemed necessary to proscribe its use. The right to privacy was recognized as a right, and SQOTUS acted without regard for the ninth when it stripped privacy from our protections.

    Stripping an enumerated right, the right to privacy, without an Amendment is the harm patriots ought consider injurious. Get out of here with DACA whinging.

    Historically, Christianity has displayed resilience when persecuted. Perhaps that resilience leads to a religion closer to that which Christ espoused. Opprobrium, rather than lions, one can hope. When Christianity is used to oppress, it has jumped the rails, and deserves the public’s enmity. My family’s history was shaped first by Catholic oppression; now evangelical and Protestant oppression are emulating the ills that led to their own genesis.

    His social media sites will be put under control of some sort of supervisor, who will then offer an opinion about their future. His debt will not be be discharged, because, as @elfenix noted: “The judge overseeing Jones' bankruptcy has ruled that most of the debt will survive after a liquidation, because it resulted from "willful and malicious" conduct.” https://www.reuters.com/legal/alex-jones-bankruptcy-liquidation-approved-court-2024-06-14/

    Seems that these dark forces are most easily identified in corporate greed. Think of Christ in the temple. Certainly not in your neighbor, whom we are to love exactly as we love ourselves. What a neighbor knows is true for themselves is as true as what we know about ourselves. The Torah is the word of God, as are the red letters of the New Testament. The rest is commentary. And God speaks in parables.

    This leads to a question I have had since trying to read the stupid things my wife said thread on Lulz. Is that what a poop knife is for?

    There’s a surprising number of Surly posters who say they don’t care, but take the time to post anyway.
  17. Willfully Horn
    Well, alright!

    There are quite a lot of (conflicting) examples of what a sin against the Holy Spirit is, exactly. This makes sense to me: "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" is conscious and hardened opposition to the truth, "because the Spirit is truth" (1 John 5:6). Conscious and hardened resistance to the truth leads man away from humility and repentance, and without repentance, there can be no forgiveness.“

    Was just checking out UK’s favorite fast foods. Nando’s mash up African spicy chicken caught my eye.

    Well, I wasn’t. My thinking is that POTUS’ wishes take a back seat to Secret Service imperative. Edited to say that is a good thing. Were POTUS able to countermand SS, tfg might have led J6 insurrectionists into the capitol. I assume JFK was the last POTUS to override SS policy. I can agree that having a loaded firearm is a reasonable expectation, while also believing that the SS has last say.

    I suggest that the post you quoted addresses non felons, too.

    Dude can claim he has served his country, and now chase the private windfall. Somehow, I believe quid pro quo-Ing beats his open market value.
