Supreme Court Hands 2024 To Dems

a reply to: Sookiechacha

just because there are bankruptcy laws does not preclude them as an "intended" function of federal government.

The history of bankruptcy law in the US is on/off/on/off/on/off
each time the laws have been introduced they have soon been repealed.
The only reason they stand today is because of corporate influence in our politics, which is corruption of the federal system

while complaining about how expensive everything is

Not in my experience. The people complaining about how expensive everything is are Boomers and Gen Xers.

Really? I could swear there’s a conversation about not being able to pay college loans not one thread from this one.😂

Once again, explain how it's any different than my tax dollars going to pay MTG's PPP loan.

Bankruptcy proceedings are filed and their cases litigated in Federal Court. Bankruptcy laws are most certainly a function of the federal government.

why do you keep ignoring the "intended" part?

I haven't been there. Are there a bunch of young people giving antidotal stories about how expensive a hamburger at Arby's is? How they can't afford their Spin Classes anymore?

Legislated laws and federal courts are "intended".

Does anyone else remember when some businesses used to have signs up, that read "this business reserves the right to refuse service to anyone"?

I know I saw them in the 80's.

Yet NOW it's a big deal?

do you feel the same about laws regarding free speech, or gun control?

I wouldn't support any tax or program that helps pay another person's debt for any reason, (if that's what you are asking)..

I admit I myself had student loans unpaid a few decades ago, and paying it all back took over 30 years! I would not have supported loan forgiveness (if it was put to a vote- based on principle alone) when that debt gets shifted to other taxpayers, (but if it had happened I would not have said no, however, sometimes saying "yes" to government handouts can have a heavy price to pay. They (the feds) took every tax refund I had coming to me me for 10 years when the job market was toast many years ago, and they took 100% of it.

sorry but i doubt it, the economy always determines who people vote for, not political ideology. why do you think russia chose to start their war when a Democrat is in office? to ensure they lose the next election by #ing up the economy.
if it remains the way it is currently going i dont see biden winning, especially after offending the saudi crown prince who promised revenge, no doubt something big is about to go down and increase inflation to ensure a Republican wins, because Republicans are willing to accept bribes and tolerate corruption, they are more accepting of authoritarian foreign governments. liberal ideology is dying and authoritarians are making a comeback unfortunately, we are reverting to the old ways it feels like.

If Trump becomes the GOP candidate, that is a guarantee that the DNC wins the white house.

They are intended, yes.

Hyperbolic much?
Plans for expanding the court, Federal loan forgiveness and the restoration of civil rights are not attacks on democracy nor are hey efforts to destroy it.

The left will pack the court making the Constitution meaningless.

I consider that very anti-American.

In this hypothetical scenario that sees the Dems being voted into control of Congress and the White House, and using that power to enact policies supported by the majority of the population, where is democracy being destroyed? It seems to me like that's the definition of democracy in action.

People can and will vote in socialism and destroy the Constitution, just don't candy-coat it and call it "democracy".

I remember signs that said "No Blacks". I remember The Rat Pack objecting because Lena Horne and Sammy Davis Junior weren't allowed to visit the Los Vegas casinos or restaurants, even though they performed on Los Vegas stages.

ETA: They didn't have signs that said "No Gays Allowed" because gay sex was illegal.

I’m pretty sure you’re intimately aware of the conversation, pity you can’t accept that you were caught in hyperbole once again.

Nothing will find balance so long as people choose sides rather than balance

Too late. This court already did that.

Nope. Haven't visited that thread, and quite frankly I'm not THAT interested in the topic. I'm in this thread because the topic is SCOTUS handing the election to the Democrats, because, imo, of their many out of touch, religiously bias, anti-Civil rights rulings.
