Listening to this NPR special coverage of the ACA argument, and I am smiling now. I was worried when I left the office, but this is making me happy.
They do not like the government's chances right now.
I just... I don't get how someone can be such a fucking misanthrope.
Like, really, how can you hate people that much?
I really don't have anything to say about this that I haven't already said. You're dedicated to hatred regardless of the positions I've taken, so I really don't know where to go from here.
don't get happy too soon duder, Kennedy loves being unpredictable
every time i see a gorgeous modern, minimalist home i wonder how much it would cost to build something like that in a 'normal' area without ten million dollar real estate. like, i'll never afford a beverly hills mansion but i think it'd be totally awesome to spend an extra couple hundred thousand to build a house like that in a 'mere mortal' neighborhood
I don't care for most architecture I've realized. My real focus is how easy it is to live in a place. I look at those minimalist designs and wonder how long they stay that way when you live in them.
Most of my ideas about places I'd like to live are focused on trying to engineer out the annoying parts. Like I want kitchen benches with a lip on them so spills can't get on the floor and which smoothly transition to the sink.

Roberts may jump on with the 5 majority to try to gain some control over the opinion
I read the transcripts of the arguments, as usual Scalia was mostly concerned with interjecting jokes than getting answers, since he's already made up his mind
also jesus the first day of argument about the anti injunction act was mind blowingly boring
Has Thomas spoken yet?
He rarely speaks or has questions about any case, let alone landmark ones. He is easily the "least scholarly" (this is code for "dumbest") justice the court has seen in almost 100 years.
My hatred for him alone could fill a beautiful valley situated beneath a stylish multi-million dollar home.

Imagine how cheap something like that would be if you built it in the ghetto.

We're talking about policy that actually affects people's lives, here. Like, this is a law that is tremendously helpful to a whole shit-ton of people, from young adults to children to people with chronic, existing ailments... And you're hoping that it dies. A ritual sacrifice on an altar to some bigoted assholes who died two hundred years ago.
It's really pretty appalling to see. Especially from someone who claims to be religious.

You would probably never get the city's approval to build it.

Part of the appeal of the OP house is just how open everything is. Unless you had a huge plot of land in a 'normal' area and lots of foliage to make it seem like you were a jungle warlord, I'm not sure it would have the same punch.
But if you had that much money to do something like that, I'm sure you could come up with something you loved.

I've seen some houses like that basically slotted into townhouse rows in rough neighborhoods. One was just a giant black square with no obvious opening, but it was amazingly light and airy and minimalist inside.

He has never spoken in oral arguments, and I think he's underrated because of that.

Listening to Kennedy the one actual swing vote made me feel the other way. Roberts and Scalia were always going to vote against it so them being hard on it isn't surprising.
Kennedy seemed to be coming around on the mandate at the end of arguments.
I dunno. I really don't know. But I am heartened that Kennedy did not find his limiting principle.
he didn't speak it out loud during arguments, no
doesn't mean he won't find one
The government didn't provide one for him either. The comment this NPR reporter attributed to Paul Clement, "whenever I argued Interstate commerce and I could provide a limiting principle, I won. When I could not, I lost" is telling. He knew what to go after to sway Kennedy. Maybe he was successful.

Especially for a religion whose supposedly sacred documents (and whose early organization) was outright socialist. Not like Fox News "socialist" but full on "all property is held in common and you can be kicked out of the church for owning private property" kind of socialism.
Book of Acts man. It would blow most American Christians minds if they actually read their own goddamn new testament.

Give some examples of his writings that you think are underrated.
I can think of one case where his opinion mattered, and that's Virginia v. Black, probably not a case you agree with him on.
well i mostly mean the interior. like it'd be cool to have those glass walls and all but i recognize i can't live in an apple store. i just want the high, airy, modern interior. i think interior design's what i'm talking about mostly. but some of that sort of structural, even on the interior.
FoM are you seriously saying that Supreme Court Justice Steven Breyer told you that no one on the court likes Clarence Thomas?
I am seriously saying this, yes.
If it helps any, it was related to a question about ideological differences ever becoming personal.
He said it jokingly, but do you ever know when somebody is joking but they're kind of not joking at the same time? Like the small kernel of truth behind every joke is actually a giant amorphous blob of 100 foot long alien corn and not a regular corn-sized kernel? That was my read on the situation 100%.

I am opposing the individual mandate, yes. Frankly, I'm super tired of you harping on my faith, questioning my commitment to it or my ability to understand and adhere to it, and otherwise using it as a lever to try and prove hypocrisy when your understanding of it is, let's say, extremely minimal.
@Honk, if you read the bolded you'll see why I reacted so strongly to your comment earlier. It is, sadly, a very common hobby horse leftwing extremists like to ride around on.

I grew up in ranch style one floors my whole life so I would love a high modern interior.
Speaking of conservatives. Next week I get an hour q and a with Condi Rice. Well my class of 13 people do. And pictures and basically a open forum in intimate setting. Its fucking awesome.

his dissents in Eldred v Ashcroft and that one that just came about about re-copyrighting the public domain were p good
