Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
This doesn't mean that the case (Ermhold v. Davis) will be heard by the court. All that's happened is that Libery Counsel, a right wing legal group, submitted a writ of certiorari to the supreme court. The court gets ~8,000 of these per year and only hears around 100. I doubt that anything more comes of this, but stranger things have happened.
harry potter ass legal code, fuckin stupid country
Legalese uses a lot of Latin terms specifically because it adds mysticism and gravity
Mysterium and gravitas, you mean?
Also creates jobs for failchildren to interpret legalese
I have to think a small proportion of submissions are for the pet project of multiple justices and their patrons? The only question on gay marriage and the supreme court is if they'll use a procedure like this or an appealed case from a red state to kill it.
