Irrational racist Ivy indoctrinated lawyers. Typical idiocy of this profession.
Not a reality based decision, as most are not.
This authoritarian would have LOVED that decision back then.
He's like 'they're enemies of the people, summary trials and execution!;
Queenie. Do you have tenure? Share with the class.
Today’s Court would obviously rule the same way.
If it involved Muslims. Other than things like 'Hong Kong Flu' they're fine with Asians now.
Democrat justices will support any kind of lockdown. Still.
"Today's Court" literally overruled it four years ago. You are completely disconnected from reality if you don't see which political party and its judges are more sympathetic to broad, oppressive executive mandates today.
I do not agree with you that nonwhite people are like a contagious disease.
LOL. I'm not white, and you are a retard.
Like your family and classmates, I wish to have no further interaction with you, so you have the honor of being only the second user I have muted on this site.
Canada basically just did the same thing to the trucker protests. "Those peasants better shut up, do what they are told, deliver goods to us elites, and be happy that will tolerate their existence," is basically what his line has been since the protest started.
Those protesters were permitted to protest. After a quite reasonable period, they were asked to clear blockades. Then they were instructed to leave roadways. Those who refused are being removed and, if they insist, arrested.
Those clingers have no reasonable complaint about treatment.
Disaffected, antisocial, obsolete losers are likely to disagree, but I do not expect the mainstream to be persuaded by the boorish malcontents.
I hope this experience accelerates development and implementation of autonomous trucks.
Artie. Try to avoid getting in front of a self driving truck.
Now do this for BLM rioters....
