I kind of want to read the Breyer dissent in U.S. Trademark Office v. Booking.com but I also extremely do not care lol (majority of 8 held that "generic term dot com" is allowed to be a trademark)
why the fuck was this granted especially considering it was affirming the lower court
But the weird thing is that the state said "Well if you're going to get upset we'll just remove this for secular private schools too"
And SCOTUS here is like "no, not giving any private school a tax benefit is unacceptable"
🤔
So essentially now all states that get federal vouchers must fund all types of private schools and apparently not funding any private schools is also possibly not okay since that's what the decision in Montana was to begin with
@Unionhawk lol remember going on vacations and such?
🚨🚨🚨Gorsuch joins Thomas in declaring that the First Amendment's Establishment Clause likely allows states to establish an official religion. Not even Scalia was willing to go that far. t.co/lPOerqajJI
@Unionhawk whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you mean to suggest that the wealthy (and those who support them) have a huge advantage when it comes to politics!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?111onmeonee!!?!?!?!one!111!?!?!?!?
@Unionhawk I still think McGrath has a slightly better chance against Mitch compared to Booker. "Leftist Blank man" is a great place to start an attack ad.
Yeah but no nonsense with electoral college-esque "people vote in districts and whomever gets a plurality of the districts gets the Senate seat" stuff?
previously (prior to 1813) senators were selected by the state legislature
@Yuuki Correct
Also a Louisiana Primary is: All candidates from all parties appear on the ballot. If no candidate has a majority in the first round, hold a run-off between the top two in one month.
> House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who led a group of nearly a dozen Democrats to the White House early Tuesday, said Congress still needs to hear from the heads of various Intelligence agencies — not White House officials — on the stunning allegations. The Trump administration officials tasked with briefing the Democrats, Hoyer said, expressed their opinion of the allegations but didn’t share the underlying evidence.
Schiff mentioned this last night on Chris Hayes' show, and Chris was like, wait, what??
Here's the clip from the show, the entire interview (about the Russian bounties) is good, but the relevant portion about the House Intelligence committee starts at 3:00
So, apparently even the White House briefing to Congressional Republicanswas a snow job:
> EXCLUSIVE: Data intercepts showed GRU-to-Taliban $ transfers & a key intermediary fled to Russia, bolstering earlier detainee accounts about a Russian bounty op. Trump WH omitted in its briefing to GOP lawmakers as it downplayed intel as murky/contested
Toronto's city council has voted to make non-medical masks and face coverings mandatory in indoor public spaces to help limit the spread of the coronavirus. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/…
@Wipqozn it's really odd that this isn't done more widely in many countries. It's probably the least invasive change that has a very good chance of significantly lowering transmission rates
Masks are mandatory inside any shop and public transportation for a long time here
> “If a face mask mandate meaningfully lowers coronavirus infections, it could be valuable not only from a public health perspective but also from an economic perspective because it could substitute for renewed lockdowns that would otherwise hit GDP,” the researchers wrote.
