Except if you have guns then we will be pussies of highest order. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/27/uvalde-shooting-police-gunman-shot-olivarez/
THAT'S how the 2nd amendment and much else of the Constitution was intended to be used, I feel. Y'know, before the people lost their damn minds for various reasons, and maybe they understood the importance of backing each other to keep the power-hungry at bay.
But now we've stood aside as we got things like State-defined rules for having proper unobtrusive protests, and unions that must be "authorized" and promise not to get in the way too much, binding arbitration without a right to a jury trial, and police shove and beat journalists while a loud chunk of the population says "He must've had a good reason! What'd you do?"
God help us.
Your monthly reminder here that forced arbitration is unconstitutional under the plain text of the 7th Amendment.
Wow, that's an awesome reminder! TIL. Thank you kindly!
It was in my head because recently I had to send like 4 "Oh no you don't" emails to like 4 or 5 companies that tried to pull that with a little ToS edit. It seems to be all the rage these days. :(
