Rules:
1. Be civil

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
Close a judicial loophole and the complaints come from habitual loopholers and the people who benefited from them.
I suggest, respectfully, that if Judges Ho and Jones don't like the new rules, they can avoid dealing with it by simply resigning. Such action would have an immediate positive effect on the reputation of the Judicial Branch.
John Oliver might be willing to send a pop-up camper their way to sweeten the deal.
Clarence will never take it, obviously, because it's not about the van, it's not about the money, it's about the decorum and being an old fat black man who white dynastic powerchildren have to grovel before.
It's about the grovelling.
Partisan judges don’t like rules that are non-partisan, who knew? 🤷🏻♂️
"Why did I go to law school if all my crooked buddies can't choose me?"
Had a professor who liked to say "The Supreme Court hates when anyone other than the Fifth Circuit tells it what to do." Fuck the Fifth Circuit and every one of its members. Fuck most of the District Courts therein as well.
Every time I see some batshit ruling, I'll mumble to myself "bet it's the 5th circuit" and I'm almost never disappointed.
For context, the Fifth circuit covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
It's always economic terminology with these people, that and sports references (three strikes or w/e).
On a psychological level their choice of wording reveals that they see everything in terms of money, rather than ideals and values.
I had my family telling me killing homeless people for the theft of a propane tank is okay. So I think that trend of thought exists in much more than our governing bodies.
What I find strange is that we are not hanging people in cages outside the city gates. Because nothing else has fucking changed.
it's as though the domestic terrorists that are federalist society and it's groomed judges are big mad that their sole reason of being of inflicting a regressionist billionaire and christian nationalist agenda on an unwilling nation got severely stifled. pity.
And in other news, water is wet.
