Without legal consequence, yes.

That action could not be legally scrutinized or judged and Biden, as president, would be immune from prosecution.

Not even Putin is above the law according to any interpretation of the Russian constitution.

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 restored, 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.

Great point.

We’ve passed the point that everything “could be on the table”, everything is on the table as of that ruling.

Biden is right now absolutely unfettered by the Constitution, amendments, federal and state laws, according to the supreme Court.

Biden immediately made it clear that no American was above the law, but right now he is above the law and choosing not to take advantage of the now unrestricted power of his office.

Not likely to be a tradition in future presidents.

A large portion of tourism income, including airfare, goes directly to the government, and North Korea can buy old nuclear warheads for several hundred thousand dollars, which adds up pretty quick with a few hundred tourists.

Bear that in mind if you’re thinking of visiting.

Hooo, way more, unfortunately, you are right on the money with the supreme Court f****** up civil rights.

I just think that this time it’s really at the peril of us stability.

Absolute executive power with immunity is the final step before complete actual and practical authoritarianism.

About to happen means already happened with this meme?

I didn’t know.

Ha, sorry, no offense was meant to you or the meme, it’s solid.

I meant the idea that the checks and balances were about to be completely destroyed was outdated.

The supreme Court already abolished the remainder of constitutional executive checks and balances, absolute executive power cripples US stability.

The reaper’s already in that fourth door, that meme is outdated.

I’ve been saying for years that the United States isn’t finished because the Constitution is still balanced.

Up until yesterday’s supreme Court decision, voting made a difference.

Absolute executive power could easily devolve into true US authoritarianism.

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.

What do you like about genocide?

Specifically

Time to legally immediately replace every Justice except for Sotomayor and Jackson.

Oh it’s happening.

And with new vehicles like the delfast and aptera and efficiency beingb maximize, it’s such a cool future for EVs.

Thanks, good to hear from a local.

You mean they’re getting airtime to voice their views?

Which fascist views are being adopted?

This one guy invented “the laff box”, a fairly complex machine with a wide variety of laughs that you could put together however you wanted to, and it was so successful in getting the audience to laugh that every show used it.

And that one guy would often be the only one who knew how to operate it, and could basically play a piano of laughs to suit the mood or whatever for any tv show.

It’s a pretty great story if you’re interested

So they wouldn’t have significant political power, but they would have a political presence at all, which feels threatening?

Is that politically significant?

How relevant is that in terms of government leadership?

I don’t know about irreversibly, but the remarkable and consistent gains in solar technology especially are extremely exciting.

As soon as one of these prototype next-gen batteries hit, that’s it for fossil fuel.

It’s already not worth it to continue using fossil fuel commercially, but as soon as the next-gen power storage is able to be produced on scale, power plants are changing, phones, computers, cars, everything’s going to change.

I can’t see that being more than a decade out, but even if nexgen battery tech doesn’t hit, the constant improvement on s***** traditional battery tech now is improving rapidly.

It is a very exciting time and energy production and storage.

The study begins by adding up how many people self-reported taking multivitamins in some reports, then they added up the dead humans.

Pretty simple.

I thought I said there were no relevant variables and parameters? I’ll check.

Yes, I said relevant in point four.

I guess I could have used it in two and three also, although I think it makes sense in context.

I stand by my earlier comment and don’t see the need to edit it to add in the word “relevant” to further dunk on an irrelevant paper.

Here: There are no relevant controlling variables or parameters that make this study useful.

It’s not even a curio because any number of factors could influence the conclusions of their addition.

There are many problems with this post and this study:

1. This study did not conclude that there are no health benefits from taking multivitamins, that’s a false equivalence made by the poster.

2. This study has no parameters for the quality or types of vitamins taken other than “multivitamin”

3. This study exclusively reports the correlation between mortality and multivitamins, which is an inconsequential and useless statistic without any parameters.

4. This study does not take into account any variables apart from a lack of long-term health disorders among multivitamin takers.

This is relevant as many people take vitamins specifically to rectify long-term health disorders.

Then again, seeing as how their only metric was mortality and not efficacy on health, that wouldn’t have mattered in this study.

5. Objectively, a large percentage of the multivitamin market are older people, who are more likely to die.

This could be one of the explanations for the 4% higher mortality rate in multivitamin takers. I’m sure there are others, since no variables are parameters were taken into account or structured into the study. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2820369

This “study” is the sum function on an Excel sheet that counted the number of deaths connected to the number of people who reported taking multivitamins, which is a useless number without controlled parameters or variables taken into account.

The study means nothing.
