I seen some people a couple pages back or so asking about the implication of this should they rule in favor of Louisiana. It would be fuckin profound. I'm actually hard pressed to agree they'd rule in favor of Louisiana considering how they ruled in a similar case in Mississippi. I believe they ruled in favor of the VRA did they not? Didn't Mississippi have to actually ADD another black district? Or was it Alabama? I can't remember.

It was Miligan V Alabama.

On another note.

The absolutely horrendous downside of a very conservative scotus.

God I hope he follows this up by saying "just heard back, and daddy says he did it because it was REALLY fucking funny."

This is a lot of lawfare and word wanking just to avoid plainly stating the actual truth and reality of the situation.

When can police enter your home without a warrant? Whenever they want to. They have guns and other weapons and the full backing of the legal apparatus of the state. Whether the state murders you for shooting them dead when they do so apparently comes down to which state you live in, your skin color, their skin color, and how feisty the DA is feeling that evening.

So much wasted money and time arguing about this. Entering someone's home without permission (warrant or not) is a violent act, and a core tenet of American law and culture is the legal right to self-defense against violence. A warrant's presence just controls how easy it is to put you away when you shoot back.

I think the more police get put down for home invasions, the fewer home invasions we'll ultimately end up seeing. Lawfare notwithstanding, people generally don't think to themselves "gosh I hope I die at work today" when they get in the car in the morning.

Lucky for Massie he's to be ejected from Congress next year so he'll soon have all the time in the world to build that porch.

As far as fanfictions go this is one of the more enjoyable ones to think about. Completely unrealistic as he has it sewn up tighter than (insert analogy here); but damn I can appreciate the hope!

Rand Paul: 'All of these people have been blown up without us knowing their name'​

The Kentucky Republican again challenges U.S. strikes on possible drug smugglers at sea.

The day of having to know your enemies name before killing them definitively ended with Colt in 1836. With the advancements we've made you hardly know who you're firing at, less "fuck you buddy" and more like "dear grid coordinate".

Realistically the CIA do actually know most of the faces and names of those people being vaporized. Not like they would publish them and it's not actually relevant to his argument. The special forces could do exactly what he wants, publish every name and take out every boat via boarding action, only using swords. Rand would still find something else to complain about.
