    tvc184 got a reaction from thetragichippy in Pronoun felony   
    It seems like a stupid law but using the “wrong” pronoun is not a crime in the proposed law. If it was, it would be nullified by the First Amendment.
    Basically they want to add pronouns to hate crimes.

    That is false.
    To the contrary, the Supreme Court addressed exactly that issue.
    This is a quote from the actual decision from Supreme Court’s government website, not a news organizations spin on the decision.
    “Universities, may not simply establish through application essays or other means the regime we hold unlawful today. 
    What cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly”
    So the Supreme Court itself has specifically said that the applicant for admission cannot simply write an essay “or other means” as a way to get around the decision.
    It followed up by saying that if you cannot do it directly, you cannot do it indirectly, which is what the notion of an essay or similar means would attempt to do.
    Not only does it not allow essays or some other minority base discussion on an entrance application, the decision strikes down the blanket acceptance of race, national origin, sex, etc. as a means of allowing entry that might otherwise be denied. To that extent, it seems that it would now allow what previously was not allowed and that is to have individual student applicants file a lawsuit for discrimination if denied entry based on race, etc. Prior to this decision, a university could accept a possibly less qualified applicant and if another applicant disagreed, the university could fall back on the law, saying basically, oh, well, we can do it.
    Now they likely can’t without risking continuous litigation.

    I think that is correct however that is a state level issue, not from SCOTUS.
     If the federal government passed a law next week (and they obviously don’t have the numbers to do so) about not carrying a firearm without a license, those state laws would be overturned unless SCOTUS stepped in.

    tvc184 got a reaction from bullets13 in Suprema Court strikes down affirmative action for college entrance.   
    The Supreme Court actually brought that up in their decision.
    From the Supreme Court website:
    ”Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it”. 
    I believe that affirmative action had its place. Three generations later it seems to be time to move on. The Supreme Court agreed

    Obviously there are no plans to build a railway across the Indian Ocean. It really should not take any research to know that we aren’t sinking thousands of pylons 3 miles deep in an ocean. Imagine trying to build a railway 3 miles high above the continental US. If you can’t do it on land….
    The point is that he is always out there in La La Land.
    He was certainly 100% correct in his closing statement, however when he said:
    ”I can go on, but I’m not. I’m going off-script. I’m going to get in trouble.”
    Exactly. The guy can barely speak from a teleprompter. How is he going to compose rational thoughts “off-script”?

    tvc184 got a reaction from thetragichippy in Miami Mayor Francis Suarez files to run for president in 2024   
    He is a Republican in Florida and in fact in the heavily democratic area of Miami yet I believe he won by a landslide.
    I have nothing to base this on and have not read it but I’m guessing that he is trying to get exposure to be the next governor of Florida. Ron DeSantis is about to be term limited and is running for president so Suarez probably has no expectations of winning the presidential primary, but certainly expectations of getting national exposure and moving him up into a good position to take over for the DeSantis.

    Yeah, it’s a political hot potato so I think the legislature will try hard but any tax eliminated will have to go elsewhere.
    The “elsewhere” will obviously be the problem. Who else is going to take the hit?

    But is that bad or smart?
    What service are we paying for? Did we get a product?
    The claimed service was walking around the car to see if your headlights work, your tail lights work and your horn still functions. We can do that for free. If someone is inclined, he can go to the auto shop and pay them money out of his pocket and have the mechanic do the same. In fact, if you go get your oil changed, they want to charge you about $25 extra to do their umpteen point inspection. Coincidental that most lube shops do inspections? 
    We had to go out of our way by taking time out of the day, and at very limited specific locations, with the state to justify a tax.
    The bottom line is is that they raised taxes without raising taxes.
    Instead of having to raise taxes elsewhere to increase revenue, they took a pain in the butt chore that we had to face and eliminated it.
    Two birds with one stone?

    You could have cut that down to, the problem is spending.
    Local, county, state or federal or even school districts, once they decide to spend the money, they are going to get it.
     The means of taxing will make the people that bear the biggest burden or maybe any burden. No matter how it is shuffled around, we are still going to pay.
