I actually believe that constitutionality is an important factor in our system of checks and balances.
Unfortunately we haven't been very good at amending the constitution in recent history so we can't add new checks and/or balances.
No one wants to do so because it means relinquishing some power, and possibly loosing marketshare uh I mean voter approval.
Hmm maybe not, since Bruen implements the history/tradition check which is the basis for the felony prohibition.
I do, however, still think that domestic violence exceeds a misdemeanor and should be a felony like any other assault.
Without saying anything about politics, environment, or source:
Why, for the love of Satan, does this graph have only 2 data points per source?
Why use a line chart 📉 for that?
This is clear bar chart territory 📊.
I don't think it would work well as a movie, but I think it would make for a great miniseries with converging chronologies.
And some are set in the past! A large period of time is covered.
I think that it is an influence worth risking.
The settings themselves vary wildly, and technically the books occur before, during, and after the present. The level of technology varies wildly.
The one thing in common is the examination of the content of the character of the "human" being, and how we are the same or different, adapt or don't, expand or hide.
It's truly masterful work that, yes has cool gizmos and concepts but worries more about how the gizmos make you feel.
No one has mentioned The Culture?
There really wouldn't be much to update because a good chunk of it is still modern. Not only that, but Banks really fucked with gender, ideology, and civil rights in a way that is still incredibly relevant in 2023.
I also really want someone to try to portray Fwi-Song from Consider Phlebas.
Yeah the tradition scrutiny is concerning but there's not much to do about it.
It seems that strict scrutiny would still have been serviceable.
Oh boy, what can't we put ads in?
Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?
The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.
It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren't branded with a corporate advertising campaign.
Not 1-to-1, but yes, it's already a limited-rights area.
You can see my reply to SeaJ which gives more context I think.
The area this person was in is already an area where your rights are severely curtailed. You can be searched at any time, for instance.
Ultra-agree, the thing that really makes no sense here is softballing violence because it happens with an intimate partner.
If we treated it like every other violence you wouldn't need a special one-off patch law since their rights would be automatically restricted by the prohibited person laws.
