  • There can be a fight, but it can be stopped at any point by the executive branch for any reason without restriction or consequence.

    Plus, now there is a legal precedent for presidential immunity, so even if the best situation occurs and executive balance is restoreed, the next team of bandits can point to 2024 and say well look, the highest court in the land said their ruling supersedes the Constitution.

    Fixing this will require some sort of comprehensive rewrite of either the Constitution to make its powers inviolate or better yet, to make the limitations on the branches inviolate.

    Maybe increase the amendments by tenfold to elucidate exactly what is allowed and not allowed, because right now “reasonable judgment” is often invoked as a limitation on important legal rulings, but if you have a conservative majority refusing to honestly engage with “reasonable judgment” and willing to pwrjure themselvesto irritate harmful and unreasonable judgment, as the conservatives on the court are and have been willing to do for decades, then they can do things like violate or invalidate the Constitution.

    The problem with all of these solutions is that the limitations on executive power are already very clear, and the supreme Court is objectively violating them.

    I don’t see a clear resolution at this point, although I’m so shocked by the end of the US government that I’m still working through the consequences and considering hopeful solutions.

    Right now, the most hopeful solution I see is like when dumps asked pence to violate the Constitution and declare him president, pence refused.

    So if another atrocity is now ordered, right now the only hope is that the person being ordered to do it will risk being executed for treason and not follow that order.

    Relying on many someones like pence to all do the right thing is not exactly comforting.







  • Jackson added, for sure.

    Kagan no way.

    Kagan has sided with conservatives way too many times with the “look, their conclusion is poorly reasoned and unconstitutional, but you can technically get to the conclusion constitutionally from a liberal perspective if…” and then she sides with the conservatives.

    Poking around in legal details can be fun, but she can be a professor while we get someone taking action on the court instead of siding with employer-imposed religious mandates over employee bodily autonomy (hobby lobby), supporting the “Muslim ban”(trump via Hawaii), and crippling contract law so that class action lawsuits can’t be brought against corporations over faulty or illegal contracts. (American Express versus Italian colors).

    Kagan is not helping people, get someone on there who wants to help people.








  • I hope this is concept art and not the character look, it’s reminding me of the Sonic release.

    Too garishly realistic.

    I’ve seen the 1994 film and at least plot wise, I think it would be impossible to do worse.

    This will probably be way more fun, and they’ll be able to do a lot more with animation than you could do with live action characters in the world of Street fighter

    Yeah this will probably be better.

    Oops, I just found out this is going to be live action.

    Wellp.

    It’ll probably still be better than the 1994 movie, that is really rough to watch.

    The effects weren’t there, fight choreography wasn’t there, the plot was absent, this movie has to be better.
