Hurricanes tend to avoid anywhere I live which is another plus. No tornados. No wildfires. Occasional chemical disasters. Zell Niller stuff
Our abortion law seems restrictive) I think? Iâm not actually well informed if six weeks is a lot or not as Iâm not a woman so it doesnât really concern me personally about looking into abortion stuff besides thinking they have a right to decide what they want to do

Our courts have blocked the abortion law, once, it was reinstated; and then the same court that blocked it prior has blocked it again for a different reason, our courts are really funny

From what I understand, six weeks is usually the point at which women find out that theyâre pregnant.

It was still a scandal. If you donât believe, hereâs a snippet from Justice Stevensâs dissenting opinion:
To stop the counting of legal votes, the majority today departs from three venerable rules of judicial restraint that have guided the Court throughout its history. On questions of state law, we have consistently respected the opinions of the highest courts of the States. On questions whose resolution is committed at least in large measure to another branch of the Federal Government, we have construed our own jurisdiction narrowly and exercised it cautiously. On federal constitutional questions that were not fairly presented to the court whose judgment is being reviewed, we have prudently declined to express an opinion. The majority has acted unwisely. ⌠[A] stay should not be granted unless an applicant makes a substantial showing of a likelihood of irreparable harm. In this case, petitioners have failed to carry that heavy burden. Counting every legally cast vote cannot constitute irreparable harm. On the other hand, there is a danger that a stay may cause irreparable harm to respondentsâand, more importantly, the public at large ⌠. Preventing the recount from being completed will inevitably cast a cloud on the legitimacy of the election.
There was a slim conservative majority that voted 5-4 that had the de facto effect of making Bush the president of the United States. The court also intervened to prevent the recount from progressing further after Bushâs lead had shrunk to less than 400 votes. It was a pretty dark moment.

I understand it was a scandal, Iâm just saying that itâs probably never going to happen again, which is why I said itâs unusual for them to do anything. What I think Eliza was fearing was the courts overruling two or three states, when they would get absolutely raked over the coals for that.

kinda?
6 weeks is usually 1 or 2 weeks after a person learns theyâre pregnant at best. Not unusual for someone to not notice in that time.

From what I know, Gore would have won if they recounted fully, but with the proposed recount Bush would have still won. Iâm unsure how the counting process was that inaccurate to begin with, sounds like incompetence from whoever organized the way they counted votes

Why do you think itâs never going to happen again? The court is like currently facing a crisis of legitimacy for a number of decisions theyâve made recently lol

The court relies on good will and if they did anything extremly out of place they would be pretty much ignored
i really dont think we should be discussing this for the past hour

really im more saying like.
donald trump WILL sue if he loses, this is obvious and i donât think anyone present denies that
and the current court has shown a lot of obvious bias towards trump and radical conservative causes n shit. its normal for justices to lean one way or another but definitely not this hard
i mean for heavenâs sake they literally ruled that trump is ~basically immune to prosecution (with very limited exceptions)
so, despite the low chance that they would in actuality, the court is so corrupt rn that i really just wouldnât be suprised if trump sued and then the court said âok you winâ and made up some really weak justification
