    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Well, if we ignore the legal questions (from my admittedly cursory knowledge of it, it looks to me like legally speaking the decision was correctly) and look at it just from a practical view, it's because it halts the abuse of universal injunctions. So, let's go through things. If someone sues...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    But now you are making a considerably different claim than the one you were making. Your complaint was that the system where a lower court could say the President couldn't do something, but then the Supreme Court (which could have people appointed by the President) could say the President could...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    And this is different from prior Presidents... how, precisely? If a President tries to do something, one court rules against him, and then the Supreme Court says yes, they can do it, then they can do it. This is how the process has worked for over two centuries. I fail to see how the exact...

    Kola Superdeep and "Screams from Hell"

    I have heard of this story before. It appears to just be a hoax: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-well-to-hell/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_to_Hell_hoax https://www.truthorfiction.com/drilltohellfacts/

    They are working with the nephilim underground

    The reason this so-called "Book of Jasher" is not in our Bible is that this Book of Jasher referred to was written long, long, long after the Bible, probably sometime from the 13th to 16th centuries. Now, Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18 make a references to a writing sometimes translated as the...

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    What the Amendment was trying to do was make it so that everyone who was born in the US and subject to the laws of the United States (thereby excluding children of ambassadors or the Native American tribes) would be citizens. Which is the case in the situations you describe. What you describe...

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    The problem with the comparison you offer is that the number of executive orders means very little. What matters is what they do. Let's take an analogy in regards to acts of congress. Which was more important and more consequential by the 111th Congress: The 88 acts that were devoted to giving...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    It seemed odd to me for them to insist specifically on penal substitution, so I looked into the essay in the work. This did not say someone had to believe in penal substitution (which is, for the record, just one of multiple substitutionary theories). In fact, it declares "I shall not attempt to...

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    Actually, some justices did complain about it before (at least, Gorsuch and Thomas did). However, I don't think any plaintiff prior to now actually tried to make a specific case of trying to challenge the practice.

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    Except that's exactly how it was done for the majority of US history. Universal injunctions didn't really start until the second half of the 20th century, and even then were pretty rare until the 21st century. This is a point often used to justify universal injunctions. However, could not all...

    New SCOTUS ruling on injunctions

    That's false. The senator in question (Howard) never said that it relates only to the slaves, for starters. The claim that he said it didn't apply to immigrants is at least based on something he said, but relies on taking something out of context. The claim emerges from this statement from the...

    Here comes Peter Cottontail! Happy Easter! (Warning; long post)

    This post was from a while ago... but this thread got bumped, so perhaps it's worth it to go through them in a little more detail than the other responses have given. There is some valid information in the opening post, but unfortunately there are some parts that are simply in error and I feel...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Before someone takes an 8-second out of context clip as gospel, it may be a good idea to look into it and double check. The clip has him say something with someone talking over in English, and it says "ask for this special grace from Mary our God". But only a small amount of research easily...

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    The third of these three links is an argument against what appears to be your position. In fact, it's a direct refutation of the first link you posted.

    Trump threatens to cut Calif.’s federal funds if trans athletes ‘illegally’ compete in women’s events

    By putting it into a law (or, if not formally putting it into law, putting it into some kind of policy).
