I really like it. I didn’t have a difficult time focusing it and I love the fact that I don’t need to buy a new phone case. Will write up a more detailed review when I use it more this summer.
The expo was mostly a joke, like usual, but I did attend cause I can get in free and wanted to see the MagView spotting scope attachment. Bought one for a discount and a jetboil for 40% off. New EXO pack looks nice but too expensive. Definitely lots of people who took themselves too seriously...
I don’t think I’ve ever said anything on here about the ninth circuit, but not sure about others.
As for bias, I thought I established that about 20 posts ago when I said nobody is perfect. We could’ve saved ourselves a lot of trouble by just agreeing on that point 😉
I suppose that is one way to view the Declaration of Independence, the constitution, the bill of rights, the separation of powers, etc... 🧐

Ha! Good call although a good one to show a surprising move by the justices that didn’t align with politics.
It really will be interesting to see what happens in the coming years. I actually think there have been some surprising opinions by several of the justices showing great impartiality...
It actually is. A split means Justice opinions change on similarly aligned politically charged cases showing they are not beholden to a political bias. There are literally thousands of books and articles written on this topic. Again, you need to distinguish between judicial philosophy and...
The others I mentioned actually all include current justices on the Supreme Court, and the vast majority of cases decided by the Supreme Court are punts, so I wouldn’t read more into that than there is.
It is certainly possible that our current deeper polar political divide is not only...
No, the president who nominates them often does so because they think that justice will support their agenda, whatever that may be. However, there are numerous instances of justices bucking that assumption and deciding cases based on more principled reasons. That includes many of the cases cited...
Exactly, it’s a pure split, which points directly to my conclusion that the justices decide opinions not based on political ideology, but based on what the law demands in accordance with judicial philosophy. That is exactly how the Supreme Court is supposed to function.
I just don’t think that is accurate, especially since many of the justices are fluid in their political stances on a variety of topics.
Again, in many landmark, far-impacting cases justices will often side with an opinion that does not align with their political affiliation. Look at the ones I...
Exactly, look at the California v. Texas case, Brown v. Board, Grutter v. Bollinger and 100 other landmark cases decided by the Supreme Court. Justices are actually never identified by their political party. That is what makes the judicial branch unique from the legislative and executive...
