  • I would say they still are reluctant. Maybe less so. In modern conversatioms, there is a very subtle implication that acknowledging queerness is inappropriate unless very explicit - even then you will get comments like “they didn’t have the same understanding about orientation or gender identity”.

    In otherwords, there is still a strong undercurrent that straightness should be the default, rather than just one of the options.





  • Beyond the clear use of the word “person” - go ahead and tell me how you know if someone is not an citizen before you rescind your own requirement for due process?

    Or, how many citizens should lose due process because you decide to skip it?

    If you decide to provide exceptions, you will inevitably have a substantial error rate.

    Of course, i suspect that is considered a bonus to these nazis.






  • Supreme Court is still an important source of perceived legitimacy. The further authoritarians can push the Supreme Court to rubber stamp their power, the weaker public response will be.

    Its similar to a form of “divine right” really.

    Of course, the Supreme Court has to have its own trust and perceived legitimacy in order to convder it.
