@KestrelArts @LukeEpplin "Originalism is about the original intent of the writers as they explained at the time." I guess you know more about it than Antonin Scalia! He called that the last remaining fiction in American law. youtu.be/bjUKCTiPARQ?t=…

@LukeEpplin Originalism is about the original intent of the writers, as they explained at the time. Which the 2nd amendment is very clearly defined, repeatedly and vehemently. Its not just "see what the words say??" that's a straw man

The birthright citizenship ruling underscores why I find originalism to be a purely conservative undertaking. We've been told a billion times to read the text of the 2nd amendment as written, but the 14th amendment? Well, that's complicated. Let's look at words that aren't there.

@GregoryEugene @hockey12367 @KaiSchwemmer If they really want their mind blown, they should Google "adverse possession".

Gregory Anderson@GregoryEugene·1 Tem

@hockey12367 @KaiSchwemmer Hockey#s, I’m going to need you to google the criminal statutes (which govern illegal entry - a distinct act) and the civil statutes (which govern presence). Feel free to use Kai’s chair when he’s done with it.

Kai Schwemmer@KaiSchwemmer·1 Tem

Are there any other crimes where someone should be rewarded for their ability to avoid detection for a long enough period of time? Or is it just illegal immigration?

@stephen_richer I think it was 6-3 against the administration, but the finding that it violated 14A was only 5-4.

Stephen Richer@stephen_richer·30 Haz

6-3. Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch dissent. EO violated 14th Amendment.

Birthright citizenship. Court rule against the executive order. Upholds birthright citizenship.

@SeaeyesTri In 2018 DeSantis and Scott were behind for governor and senate until mail in ballots broke for them in Florida. Btw, your cult leader consistently votes by mail.

@bdquinn Technically I don't think those were mail. The argument is, of course, still bogus.

@JohnCleese Different windows, but for some reason when identified they always happen to be closed.

English

John Cleese@JohnCleese·27 Haz

Is there one particular window that they are all falling out of, or it just any old window that happens to be large enough

Olena Rohoza@OlenaRohoza

The first one’s gone. In Moscow, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylaš, commander of the Russian Air Force, accidentally fell out of a window.

@AlexKontorovich Do you think we can formalize the current ABC conjectures proposed "proof" and put to bed once and for all, the nonsense around it? I'd love to know how much effort it will take to formalize Scholze's objections.

@npparikh You like the trilogy?

Neal Parikh@npparikh·26 Haz

This is my favorite movie. There are many films I love and admire, some serious, some not. But there is nothing that affects me like this magical thing they made. Don’t watch it on a plane or distracted or something like that. It needs quiet and attention. So, so much in it.

@mjolley22 @SammyJdot Why not more than 50%?

English

Michael Jolley@mjolley22·24 Haz

@SammyJdot For primaries I would prefer no more than two on the primary ballot and have party conventions decide the two. And a runoff for the general election. If nobody gets more than 45% then there’s a runoff between the top two.

I’ve been wondering what will be the catalyst for Utah to fix their plurality problem (someone winning an election without a majority). Maybe the Stuart Adams defeat will motivate the establishment to do something. Stephanie Hollist won with 43% (as of now).

@mjolley22 Out of curiosity, what would you suggest to fix the "plurality problem".

Dylan Zwick@dzwick_weber·24 Haz

@ChristianHeiens Adams wasn't much of a moderate, and Hollist wasn't really a challenge from his right.

While the rest of the country melts down over a bunch of Marxists getting elected in New York City, Utah State Senate President Stuart Adams is on the brink of a shocking defeat in his primary. If he loses, it's an enormous blow to the state's moderate wing.

As I predicted. Mythos is much better, much faster, and much cheaper than Aristotle. This is the end for specialized lean provers

spicylemonade@spicey_lemonade

Interestingly, ProofBench actually shows Opus 4.8 is almost as good as Aristotle at formalization (and with much lower latency). I reckon Mythos surpasses Aristotle

Wittgenstein once asked why we took it for granted that the Sun turned around the Earth. He was told it was because it looks like the Sun is going around the Earth — to which he replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked like the Earth went around the Sun?"
