@Tavner33 @whignewtons “Could be used” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. They said they couldn’t declare the States argument wrong. Which they most certainly could have. Just because the state made an argument doesn’t mean the court has to agree with it.

@VT_Chemist @whignewtons I mean it’s actually a perfectly coherent rationale. The commonwealth argued previous precedent could be used to postpone their decision. The court respected that argument and evaluated the new maps afterwords based on their constitution as they would have done earlier.

@whignewtons More incoherence in their justification. “We couldn’t rule before the vote because that would have meant we’d have had to rule against the commonwealth to do so. We hereby rule against the commonwealth, and void the vote.”

@dddd82560622 @Timodc Because they were dealt with by professional police and not untrained, unrestrained, irresponsible thugs?

@VT_Chemist @Timodc Strange use of the word 'attack'. Police are allowed to arrest people. Conservatives sometimes get arrested at protests. But again, none are shot. Why is that?

@dddd82560622 @Timodc How many of them got attacked by “police?” Start there and figure out why you’re full of crap.

@VT_Chemist @Timodc How many of them got into fights with police officers? How many of them resisted arrest? How many of them had a concealed weapon that officers only found out about as the fight was occurring?

@NormOrnstein Who exactly is going to arrest him? The US Marshals? Who report to Bondi?

Question for @ImFiredUp2 and the coalition: If you were ordered to stop a ship in the Caribbean believed to be carrying drugs, board it, and execute its crew — purely as a hypothetical raised by recent DoD interdiction videos — would you follow that order? What would guide your decision?

Here is my message to the “Seditious 6” Your seditious actions made our country weaker I pray the law catches up to you. Traitors all 6 of you!!! @TrumpWarRoom

nah. as long as the grand jury heard the facts, the foreman's signature on an amendment is presumed to indicate the grand jury's intent would be carried out by the amended indictment. Here's the full case. Court did not dismissed the amended indictment. law.justia.com/cases/federal/…

@Dean4IL @Timodc Unfortunately if they sue, it’ll be the Trump admin to fight the suits. And we saw how hard they fought with Babbitt’s suit.

@Timodc These Rs are babies. These warrants were justified because these senators were insurrection curious. I hope they sue and we can all see the subpoenas were justified.

The degree to which the GOP has become the party that encourages insane/frivolous lawsuits in policy is underappreciated. Abortion bounty law, don't say gay, Trump media, now this...I could go on.
Ben Penn@benjaminpenn

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/sh…

@NaOHBartfield Your “take” is common among new practitioners in any field - they think that learning a technique is what makes someone an expert. That makes you a technician. It is not. It is the fundamental understand that allows one to truly be a practitioner.

@NaOHBartfield Being a “good chemist” isn’t about about doing the reactions in a hood. We can teach monkeys to work in a hood. A “chemist” actually understands the theory and deeper physics behind why molecules will react in the way we want (and don’t want).

@NaOHBartfield @cesapo It most definitely is. The way you become a better (great) chemist is by using PChem (kinetics, thermo) to understand your reaction. This understanding allows you to overcome issues.

@NaOHBartfield Have you never done kinetic studies? KIE? Utilize thermodynamics to determine activation energies? Develop kinetic models to predict reactions? Do reactive chem calculations to determine if a reaction has a high potential for disaster? All PChem.

NaOH Bartfield, PhD 🧪@NaOHBartfield·
My actual hot take is that physical chemistry did nothing to prepare me for a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and most degree programs should offer a major that is heavily based in organic and analytical chemistry if they want to prepare people for a career in pharmaceutical synthesis

@SafeChem79 @NaOHBartfield PhysOrg was the single best class I’ve ever taken. Made me understand organic reactions (ANY reactions) in the most fundamental way. Completely changed my understanding of chemistry; took me to another level.

@SafeChem79 @NaOHBartfield Quantum pchem was just the absolute worst - and I never used it. Just really hard math! Phys org was really hard, but absolutely necessary, and I use it all the time.

Todays pod: @DouthatNYT We hash out whether the deal pro-lifers struck with the orange devil was worth it. Plus the House GOP foreign aid cluster & a debate over whether a 2nd Biden or Trump term represent the greater threat (he’s undecided, I’m not). Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
