"the conservative majority did not even issue an opinion explaining why they ruled the way they did" sounds absurd

It is absurd because that's exactly what they did. They are blindly siding with states that claim that long standing regulation is unconstitutional without any sort of arguments even being heard.

In a case that could embolden some of the hundreds of other defendants facing minor misdemeanor charges to go to trial rather than seeking plea deals, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden accepted Matthew Martin's argument that he did not know he was breaking the law when he entered the Capitol complex.
Martin, a former U.S. government contractor from Santa Fe, asserted that police officers allowed him into the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 assault on the building by supporters of former President Donald Trump who sought to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.
Prosecutors were required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Martin knew he was entering a restricted area. McFadden, who was appointed as a judge by Trump, decided prosecutors had not met that burden.
Sorry your honor, I didn't know that I couldn't do that
Dave Chappelle's joke is older than Sy and still is as accurate as ever. A government contractor not knowing you can't just walk into a government building like it's a Wendy's? Nah.
RE: banning foreigners. Skeptical about how much this will actually affect things but at least the government is listening.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday overturned Prime Minister Imran Khan’s move to dissolve Parliament, setting the stage for a no-confidence vote widely expected to remove him from office and offering a major victory to opposition leaders, who said that Mr. Khan had attempted an “open coup.”Pakistan's SC more functional than USA's.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDoes the government have the capacity, capability and the infrastructure to mass-track foreign owned corporations or INC., numbers? Something tells me this is not going to do much, but still better than nothing I guess. As with any regulation of this matter, there will be all kinds of loop holes to circumvent the laws.
RE: banning foreigners. Skeptical about how much this will actually affect things but at least the government is listening.
The National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel plans to ask the board to rule that mandatory meetings about organizing are a violation of the National Labor Relations Act, a significant potential victory for labor groups. Sometimes called “captive audience” meetings, mandatory meetings are often used by company management to present anti-union rhetoric at meetings that employees are required to attend while at work.Might make a difference

“The typical home price has skyrocketed 51 per cent in just the past two years, fuelled partly by speculators and record-low mortgage rates that are now headed upward.”
These figures never cease to amaze and horrify me

New York state's $220bil budget has casinos, an NFL stadium, and bail reform (in the wrong direction)
Affordable child care gets 60% of what the new Bills stadium got in public funding
Pleasing conservatives that will never vote for you? Democrats got you.

The pace of growth is staggering. Demand for short-term rentals surged by 54 percent between 2019 and 2021, making Joshua Tree one of the top two fastest-growing markets in California and one of the top 25 fastest-growing markets in the United States, according to data from AirDNA, a company that collects and analyzes data from Airbnb and Vrbo. Joshua Tree and the nearby town of Yucca Valley issued 958 permits in 2021, more than nine times as many as they did in 2019, according to San Bernardino County and Yucca Valley data. As of March, there were 2,043 listings in Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley on Airbnb and Vrbo, more than twice as many as four years ago, according to AirDNA (1,818 are on Airbnb, though some are cross-listed).https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/07/travel/joshua-tree-california-airbnb.html
Over the past two years, the price of the average home rose more in Joshua Tree and nearby Landers and Twentynine Palms than in any other part of California, according to an analysis by the San Francisco Chronicle. One Realtor who works in Joshua Tree said that plots are now selling for quadruple 2019 prices.

(Reuters) -A federal jury told a judge on Friday that it was deadlocked in the trial of four men charged with a plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor, allegedly over her COVID-19 restrictions and with hopes of starting a new civil war.IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE
I felt that way for a minute too but FBI fucking up another layup shouldn't surprise anyone these days
By reilo Go To PostI'm afraid to ask what the demographics of their death row inmates areyou know me. im openly "yep, that inhumane monster and blight on civilization needs to die. sooner rather than later or express if possible" pro-death penalty. the way its used is often fucked up though. obviously. and what should be reserved for the absolute worst of the worst should not be slung around to see if it sticks
sooooo
During Moore's 2001 trial, prosecutors said Moore entered the store looking for money to support his cocaine habit and got into a dispute with Mahoney, who drew a pistol that Moore wrestled away from him.
Mahoney pulled a second gun, and a gunfight ensued. Mahoney shot Moore in the arm, and Moore shot Mahoney in the chest. Prosecutors said Moore left a trail of blood through the store as he looked for cash, stepping twice over Mahoney.
At the time, Moore claimed that he acted in self-defense after Mahoney drew the first gun.
Moore's supporters have argued his crime doesn't rise to the level of heinousness in other death penalty cases in the state. His appeals lawyers have said that because Moore didn't bring a gun into store, he couldn't have intended to kill someone when he walked in.
so unless there's some wildly egregious shit unmentioned in all this... it .wouldn't even be life in many instances, let alone a death penalty.
but ______. how humane of SC to allow inmates to choose how they want to die tho
