      The catch is that they struck down making emergency SNAP payments. If you pay attention, they always do this stuff in 2’s. They punch you in the gut and then they wind up to do it again, but it’s a fake, and they smile and pat you on the back, and you let out a sigh of relief because they stopped beating on you.

      What’s the catch?

      That was my immediate thought. Good things don’t happen anymore, so how is it going to sour? Do they need gay people to get married so they can build a registry or something?

      The catch is that this was always a non-starter. I said it yesterday in a thread about this.

      Gorsuch literally wrote the majority opinion on Bostock. As far right as he is on everything else, he’s actually pretty good on LGBT stuff. Between him, Kagan, Roberts, KBJ, and Sotomayor, there wasn’t even going to be a debate.

      This was simply conservative groups taking pot shots with cases. This never had a chance to go anywhere.

        That guy is just so weird. There are xtians that literally think that people like Thiel should be put to death, by the government. And Thiel has aligned himself with weirdo xtian mythology.

        People like Thiel used to have to stand out on a corner with a sign and some pamphlets and most people would steer clear. Maybe cross the street, point and snicker a bit.

        Now crazies like him have billions and can buy politicians outright and have access to platforms to lie and distort in a narrowcasting way…

          It’s projection, they feel deep insecurities and discomfort with sexuality, especially their own, so they’re either assuming everyone else must be some kind of heinous deviant or they’re trying to keep the attention on other people.

      Davis’ case was poor and she is intrinsically unlikable. I would expect a case with a novel argument to be taken up.
