I just noticed this in the article:

Where are we drawing the line here? Are hospitals going to require someone to share a pregnancy test

Nearly all hospitals have long required pregnancy tests for some things, like getting a CT scan (which involves radiation exposure). And if the test is positive, the doctor is supposed to consider alternatives.

We are all born as social animals predisposed to superstition. Religion is practically inevitable.

The federal government won't sue for sexual harassment, the employee would have to file a lawsuit herself.

She was advised to remove it.

I think "forced" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. People use it to refer to unpleasant decisions, like "I was forced to leave New York City after I lost my job".

If everyone knows that home prices will rise

Some people don't pay attention to forecasts. Some people sell because they need money now. Some people sell because they need to move now. Those people won't wait for prices to increase.

Nobody knows what will happen. It's a forecast. If I forecast 2% inflation next year, my forecast does not automatically cause prices to immediately increase. Next year, everyone will see if the forecast was accurate.

This is a federal trial.

And while some governors can pardon convictions, the governor of Georgia cannot. There is a Georgia state board that can issue a pardon, but only after a sentence has been served.

There are no special regulations on what constitutes a "news" broadcast in the US.

If you lie in public, whether on TV or Facebook, you can be sued for defamation. Which is exactly what happened to Fox.

In specific circumstances, you can be prosecuted for criminal libel but those circumstances do not apply to Fox.

Maybe they mean the impeachment trial, but if so that's a bad take.

Good behavior is generally used to justify lifetime tenure as a judge, unless impeached.

However, the Constitution does not guarantee lifetime tenure on the SCOTUS itself. Nothing prevents Congress from requiring a Justice to transfer to a lower court after, say, 18 years on the SCOTUS.

Lifeprotip #1:

If you don't want an extremely high bail, then don't be a fugitive.

Lifeprotip #2:

If you don't want to wait 600 days for your trial, then don't file endless appeals after every pretrial hearing.

Why do Republicans want to disobey a court order? Is it because they are lawbreakers?

How long would it take to convince you that you were trans?
