In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.

i never agreed that they jail people for exercising free speech. that's not how this works.

Are you claiming no appeals court had ever ruled someone was exercising free speech after a lower court jailed them? Lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're using the world jailed to mean arrested or charged, that's now what we are talking about. anyone can be put in jail for no reason for 24 hours. that doesn't mean much.

You can be sentenced and appeal from jail stranger. You don’t just sit free if you have an appeal. It’s extremely situational.

you're not contributing, you're acting like the courts make the entire thing invalid.

No, I am demonstrating that the argument doesn’t hold water on even first order inspection. And you seem to be upset that you don’t understand that.

Kindly stop wasting my time and go away.
