@kenwhite.bsky.social I offer that there are actually are that presidency lacks any “conclusive and preclusive” powers. That would violate the Constitutions fundamental checks and balances design.

@kenwhite.bsky.social quick question from a small town’s human rights commission:
Can it remove comments on its Facebook page that contain slurs? (This is about the use of particular words, not the negativity or merely insulting intent.)
This is an Elizabeth Prelogar stan account. She is consistently brilliant, direct & clear. She spots a booby trap question a mile away. Her tone is circumspect & even prim, but still passionate w/trace tones of righteous anger. It’s so impt to face this SCOTUS w/this level of brilliance & purpose. 👏🏾
States’ Rights is an American political philosophy that means states are allowed to be more authoritarian than the federal government, but cannot be more liberal than the federal government
@gruber “...great artists steal” is so often misunderstood. It’s not at all about ethics. It’s about changing public perception of the whatever. Whitney Houston stole “I will always love you.” It is now understood as a Whitney song, not a Dolly song.
Linda Ronstadt merely borrowed it from Dolly.
@leahlitman.bsky.social shouldn’t the liberal justices take the opportunity to write a concurrence stating plainly, and clearly that sometimes consequences are so important that cannot merely rely on textualism and originalism?
@leahlitman.bsky.social you missed an opportunity that I might never forgive you for.
Shortening “The exception proves the rule in case is not excepted” to “The exception proves the rule” is an old pet peeve of mine.
Section 3 of the 14th amendment is a perfect example to make the point.
You don't have to take on all of the world's problems. This is impossible. But we can all do something useful. Find out what your useful thing is if you're not already doing something. It's enough.
@lolgop.bsky.social The way I was trained, much of her plagiarism did cross the line. Though the attacks ARE motivated by all sorts of bad faith, they did uncover violations—some quite serious.
Their motivations does not change tye seriousness of the violations. She did it. She did repeatedly.

@damianbetebenner.bsky.social here is the very first question from NYS’s Jan ‘23 ELA Regents Exam and the closest 8th, 9-10th and 11-12th standards.
Even the first item falls quite short of alignment.
This is the data you say we should trust?
As ever, a huge percentage of the "culture war" in this country is the division between those who think that children are people and those who think that children are their parents chattel
It's pretty intuitive to all decent people that if your child is trans, or even just experimenting & exploring their own gender, and they feel that they need to hide that from their parents, that the person at fault here is the Parent
@kentremendous.bsky.social you can embed pictures as chapter art in a podcast. You can include pictures of the baseball cards.
You won’t.
But you can.
And doesn’t it make a difference to know that the possibility exists?
Key sentence in a paper for a conference next week, but that’s holding back. My real thoughts and feelings are on my blog each day this month. (31 Haladyna rules for item writing? 31 days in October? Hello, lady!)

This is a @strictscrutiny.bsky.social appreciation post. The content, yes, but also that the hosts speak an appropriately fast pace such that it's the one podcast I don't listen to at 1.25x speed
