Just got admonished by some right-winger that what I support is just "free stuff from government". As if that was some kind of gotcha? This is exactly what government (taxes, in particular) is for. If you despise "free stuff from government", go build your own highway.

TBH, Trump is most likely to test Chutkan by treating Mike Pence's decision to uphold the Constitution--a key prong of his campaign--as a campaign platform, not witness testimony.
It is both.

He can continue talking about the Department of Injustice, accuse the Biden administration of whatever.

I think it's solid. If I were appealing it, I could find a few nitpicks, but not much.

remember:
.0009 of 1% of the US population was killed on 9/11
.0150 of 1% of the Israeli population was killed by the Hamas raid
relative to the populations, this had about 16 or 17 times the effect upon Israeli society. now think about the US (over) reactions after 9/11 which we now regret. I hope they are wiser, but fear they are not.
if you cheer the targeted deaths of civilians, no matter who those civilians might be, then I'd say you have a serious values problem.
if the Israelis get maneuvered into a reactive spiral and fail to look for a route to peace, then it is civilians who will pay the price. again.
if the Palestinians get maneuvered into a spiral of unethically violent action and fail to look for a route to peace, then it is civilians who will pay the price. again.
as Winston Churchill is reputed to have said: “Let no good crisis go to waste.” the Palestinian Authority & the Israeli government might do well to both ponder that idea.

There can be copying involved when data is passed by value using channels. This isn't because of threads, this is because channels are like a
