Wrench,

Conservatives, personal liberties. Right.

PenisWenisGenius,

If they make testing positive for scheduled drugs a crime like in the red flag countries, we’re fucked. Everyone that tests positive for thc is getting jail time if this happens.

I seem to recall that it used to be a misdemeanor with a minimum 180 days of jail time for testing positive on any drug test, including a pre-employment screening, for scheduled drugs including thc in South Dakota but I can’t find any sources about if that was really on the books or not.

explodicle,

Did anyone ever try “I was given drugs without my knowledge”? That’s happened to me.

notannpc,

Many people will celebrate sugar baby Clarence’s death. Add this to the list of reasons why.

My man has some of the best health care our government can buy, plus a legion of sponsors ready to prop him up indefinitely.

Little reason to believe he’s going anywhere, at least not before the next GOP president can replace him with an equally pilled far right judge.

DrElementary,

It basically already is.

I lived in Utah for a few years. Statesian conservatives would make disability illegal if they had the opportunity.

vxx,

Wouldn’t that be a convenient way to keep the slave prison industry running?

mechoman444,

If there is one area of American society outside immigration that needs immediate bumper to bumper reform it’s the prison system… It’s worse than the third world.

Jiggle_Physics,

in order to fix the corrections system you need to fix the entire legal system. from cops and jails to DAs Judges and laws

Mirshe,

Especially when so many states are decriminalizing weed, this could definitely make a lot of state prosecutors very very happy.

TheReturnOfPEB,

“In an appropriate case, the Court should certainly correct this error,” Thomas wrote.

Thomas is making called shots now for rich people with private prisons. What a muppet.

Kit,

There’s 158 private prisons in the US. That’s roughly 2.5% of detention facilities in the US. People talk like the majority of prisons are privately owned but it’s actually quite rare.

Madison420,

The amount of privately owned facilities isn’t a good metric. The amount housed in private prisons is that being about 8% combine the two and it gets uncomfortable.

Snowclone,

We’ve already had judges doing cash for prisoners, cash for kids, corruption. They don’t need all the budget to attract judges, a few prisons gets the job done.

barsquid,

As long as the Sackler family pays him after the ruling it is all legal.

Paragone,

but his wealthy-donor’s “gift” addiction … wouldn’t be illegal, of course…

Arn_Thor,

That’ll fix it

GiddyGap,

The dude didn’t say a word for decades. Now he has a loud opinion about literally everything. I wonder what he’s thinking about my new tube socks or the lunch I had two days ago. I’m sure he’ll let me know.

explodicle,

Could be cognitive decline. Judges are supposed to hold their cards close to their chest.

Sam_Bass,

That prize fuckhead is open to anything thatll throw a monkeywrench in the works

The US has tranferred $2 triliion to the wealthy since 1976 losing the war on drugs. Making drug addiction illegal is just a way to justify transferring another $2 trillion to the wealthy. It’s not about ending drug addiction. It’s about profit with a side dish of punishing those that they think they are better than.

Soundhole,

It’s no more absurd than somehow sleeping outside is illegal. It boggles the fucking mind.

Diplomjodler3,

Not being a wealthy white hard right Christian will be illegal. The point is to make it impossible for people to live legally, so you can just push them around any way you like.

Tylerdurdon,

Yea, good luck with that
