I think it's cute in a kitschy kind of way and makes Packard's whole essence somewhat agreeable. In an odd way, it humanizes him. The real Packard is tragic, pathetic, and offensive to the senses.

CONCORD, New Hampshire, July 10 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday again barred President Donald Trump's administration from denying citizenship to some babies born in the U.S., making use of an exception to overcome the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that restricted the ability of judges to block that and other policies nationwide.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante ruled at a hearing in Concord, New Hampshire, after immigrant rights advocates implored him to grant class action status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any children whose citizenship status would be threatened by the implementation of Trump's executive order curtailing automatic birthright citizenship.

The ruling is far from the last word in the legal battle over Trump's order, which he signed in January on his first day back in office. The judge paused his ruling for seven days to give the Trump administration time to appeal, which a Justice Department lawyer at the hearing indicated would certainly happen.

Laplante, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, agreed, the plaintiffs could provisionally proceed as a class, allowing him to issue a fresh judicial order blocking implementation of the Republican president's policy nationally.

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the decision for the court, made clear that it did not prevent plaintiffs from obtaining essentially the same type of relief as provided in a nationwide injunction by instead bringing class action lawsuits that seek to represent all similarly situated people, among other exceptions.

Seizing on that language, immigrant rights advocates within hours of the decision launched two proposed class actions that same day, including the one before Laplante, who on Thursday noted his prior discomfort with issuing a nationwide injunction.
"It's a better process to narrow these decisions and not have judges create national policy," he said.

Laplante described class action litigation as "fairly routine," though he noted that conservative Justice Samuel Alito in the birthright ruling reminded judges to be "rigorous" when analyzing whether class action status could be granted.

"That said, the Supreme Court suggested a class action is a better option," he said.

Seems like this “pissant judge” did exactly what SCOUTS said they could do. “Grant class actions that essentially provide the same relief as a nationwide injunction”

I send up to 5 e-mails every week to my so-called reps calling them out on their various ass-kissing adventures with very obvious titles so even if no one opens any of them, they can't escape the message or any insults attached. 'Vote AGAINST [ insert whatever stupid they will probably rubber stamp ] and Big Mac Farts Are NOT IQ Enhancements, Stop Huffing Them'. 

I will also reply within 48 hours to any direct e-mails from any rep in the area and do a fact-check of any 'newsletter' I get that is also sent to one of the state grassroots groups that are trying to build up a more educated base around here.

Wow, just skipped the 3/5 compromise

Good thing there really isn’t a way for Trump to just make that happen because the SCOTUS would be like “we’ll allow it”

they (the conservative injustices) dgaf what the constitution says or what laws and legislation Congress has passed and written.  They just give baby his bottle 

“fuck all them people and the infrastructure they built and use” The GOP

Don’t be a fuckin clown you fuckin clown

The Trump administration has pursued a policy of significantly reducing the size and scope of the federal government, often leading to staff reductions, budget cuts, and policy changes that critics describe as "gutting" various agencies. This has been carried out through executive orders, budget proposals, and, more recently, through Supreme Court rulings that have cleared the way for significant workforce reductions.
Here are some of the government agencies and programs that have been particularly affected:
 * Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): The EPA has faced substantial budget cuts, significant staff reductions (including scientists), and the elimination of its research and development office. This has led to concerns about the agency's ability to protect human health and the environment.
 * Department of Education: The administration has aimed to significantly downsize or even dismantle the Department of Education, leading to layoffs of thousands of employees. Functions related to civil rights enforcement, special education, and federal research have been particularly impacted.
 * Department of State: The Department of State and foreign aid programs have seen substantial proposed budget cuts, impacting various international development and diplomatic efforts.
 * Department of the Interior: This department, which oversees public lands, has experienced significant reductions in federal employees and cuts to its operations budget, including for the National Park Service.
 * Department of Health and Human Services (HHS): While some parts of HHS, like certain aspects of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have faced planned layoffs, some of these have been temporarily blocked by court injunctions.
 * National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS): These agencies have seen staff and research capacity reductions, raising concerns about the nation's ability to forecast and respond to extreme weather events.
 * National Institutes of Health (NIH): Proposed budgets have included significant cuts to NIH funding, impacting medical research.
 * Public Broadcasting (e.g., Corporation for Public Broadcasting): The administration has sought to eliminate or significantly reduce funding for public broadcasting.
 * Various cultural and arts programs: Agencies like the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities have been targeted for elimination or significant budget cuts.
 * Other agencies and programs: Many other agencies and programs across various departments have faced proposed budget cuts or workforce reductions, including those related to economic development, housing, labor, justice, and social services.
The administration has also implemented measures such as creating a new "Schedule G" classification for federal workers in policy-related roles, which allows for more political appointees and less job security for some federal employees, potentially stripping career experts of influence within federal agencies.

@The Evil Dr. Longshadow You should probably see a doctor about the vaginal discharge, man.

Probably try a people doctor this time, though.

All those cuts and not one change noted on Main Street.  Wake me up when the cuts start making a difference I can see in real life.

Packard, I will no longer allow you to post your bad faith arguments in this thread. Anything further and I’m starting us on the probably inevitable road to banning you. I would prefer not to, honestly. I find you fascinating, like a sore in your mouth you can’t keep messing with, but I will not stand for you enshittifying quality threads This is your warning.

 

@The Evil Doctor Longshadowtagging you so you don’t miss it. You don’t need to respond.

[SwimOdin]

And I would ask a mod who knows how to do it to change the thread to a less inflammatory title. While hilarious, it would not be correct to leave it like this. Also I don’t remember the old name…

(I still don’t know the mod controls here very well)

[Raptorpat]

whatever the last major update was, right after the ASMB event board when we jumped like ten patches at once, the button moved from something convenient to having to click the local edit button on the OP to change the title

[naraku360]

Okay, but where are we going to discuss Packard's vaginal discharge now?

That sounds like an urgent matter.

100+ dead in Texas from a single flooding incident that could have survived from adequate warning would disagree with your bullshit. All the people who have starved to death overseas due to the GUTTING of USAID would disagree with your bullshit. There are already nursing homes closing around the country due to Medicaid and Medicare being GUTTED.

Also, I will tell you right this second that I've personally noted an increase of the costs of roughly 60% of all items in at least one department in my store just this past week. I'm fairly sure that prices are going up in all the departments but I was specifically working in that particular one this week. The normal sales have also been scaled back and there is now one entire department that no longer has any sales at all. And the soap base I used to get for convention give-aways has more than doubled in costs which means no more experimenting to experiment because it costs too much to make a bad batch of anything and any future products are likely to be much smaller in order to keep the same levels of available stock. 

I only saved $1 by getting a refill bag of litter instead of a brand new pail. 

The copper and aluminum 'tariffs' are starting to kick in as people run out of their stockpiles and have to start paying more for the same supplies. Think of all those canned goods you hoard - you won't be able to pull any dented cans from any dumpsters soon enough without having to get into an epic bum fight from everyone else tired of paying $3 for a generic can of condensed soup. Rolls of toilet paper are shrinking. You'd know that if you used any. 

And all this is just the start since the worst of the worst is specifically written into that Big Smelly Bill to kick in in full force after the midterms because if this all hit the fan right away, not a single republican up for re-election would be able to even appear on the street without getting lynched by the very people they fooled into voting for them last cycle. 

You really need to pay better attention to things going on in the world.

Fuck off. Does Texas ring a bell?  Noem fired 4 call centers worth of FEMA workers and many people died as a result because they couldn’t get help fast enough. You’re such a boot licking worm.
