The commission has five members, each elected to represent one of five districts in Georgia. But elections for each seat are decided in a statewide vote; though the commissioners must live in the district they represent, a voter in Savannah or Augusta has as much say over the commissioner representing Atlanta as a voter who lives there.
That whole “it only applies to Congress” angle is malarkey.
303 Creative v. Elenis: The 1st Amendment bars Colorado from forcing businesses to provide service that goes against their religious beliefs.
Shurtleff v. City of Boston: The City of Boston could not reject flying a Christian flag when it had open many other groups to fly different flags for various occasions.
Kennedy v. Bremerton School District: A school board wrongfully terminated a coach for praying on the field.
These are all recent cases too. Of course, that doesn’t mean they won’t find some different bullshit reason to say this is fine.
That system needs major reform. You want tax exemptions? Then the lowest paid employee needs to earn 1/15th of the highest paid employee and the median salary needs to be 1/10th of the highest paid.
Murder implies not only an intent to kill without justification or excuse. As piss poor as his excuse was, a teenager from another state trying to protect a strangers property, he still only shot at the very last moment. He’s a complete idiot and I believe guilty of manslaughter, but not murder.
So Biden tried to use his execute power to forgive student loans, the SCOTUS shot it down, so now he’s invoking a different law for the same ends which could still potentially be struck down. Yeah, classic dictator behavior: do whatever you want to long as your judicial system approves it. And if he was being a “dictator” on border policy (i.e. violating law) then that sounds like a great reason to impeach instead of, “His family is shady.”
… signed into law by President Joe Biden. It repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), requires the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories (though not tribes) to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States…
It stopped short of requiring any and all states to perform same-sex marriage but it was a definite improvement over existing law. As always I’m sure they held back on a full guarantee of a right to marriage because a handful of “moderate” Democrats refused to support it otherwise. I hope history records Manchin and Sinema as doing measurable harm to our country.
It works doubly well because after accusing the left of doing it for ages (like voter fraud) all of the right-wing voters will say, “So what if we cheated? We’re just trying to match their level of cheating to keep it fair!”
Cops? They all deserve to be killed. You believe in this quite matter of factly.
Maybe the author was struggling to find examples but this could also be trolling. The biggest problem with this strategy is that the right actually wants all that crazy shit to happen. Zero abortions, jail all the homeless, machine gun turrets along the border, impossible divorce, and teaching creationism as a hard fact? That’s their paradise!
At that level of wealth your entire motivation for living has been greed and no amount of money satisfies greed. They’re expecting a return on that donation for sure.
