  • The 5 judges were from the lower court’s dissent. It wasn’t 5 justices at the Supreme Court. It takes 4 Supreme Court justices to grant cert on a case and hear it. It sounds like only Gorsuch and Thomas voted to hear it.

    Gorsuch is arguably the most pro-Native American justice the court has ever seen. He started his majority opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma with this sentence “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise.”

    Thomas and Gorsuch joined Alito in a 77 page dissent, in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia explicitly calling to overturn a prior case that infringed on Native American’s religious liberties by denying benefits to a peyote user.








  • Active calls for violence against individuals are not protected under the 1A. This is not legal advice and any lawyer would ask more questions about what exactly you want to do because there are many possible factors not hear mention that could lead to incarceration.

    Having not heard of “Krasnov” before I looked him up and my sub-3 seconds of research shows that the suggested searches and first results include the current president and theories about KGB involvement.

    Any criminal trial from such a course of conduct would not require that the Government establish that “Trump =The real ‘Krasnov’” for a conviction.

    This would be a poor idea, even under long standing legal doctrines and interpretations.







  • No problem. To add on being able to identify the way others view matters and the rational they employed to justify their actions allows us to identify logical reasons from their perspective for them to change their opinions.

    On point A, I suspect he self-radicalized at first and then entered his own bubble where he further leaned more into radicalization.

    On point B, I believe it does. It doesn’t matter what the negative label is; viewing individuals as the caricatures that float in our minds when we hear words like “tankie” or other words that serve only, for us, to brand individuals as part of a incorrect collective encourages us to make these same un-empathic mistakes.

    We shouldn’t like many of these people we brand as things like “Tankie”; but we should understand why they feel the ways they do.
