Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Also, Foucault, Derrida, and Sartre are niche even in academia, and are even less influential than Marx than alt-lite shitheels seem to think.

Oh, this was the injunction.

As a remedy, Petitioners sought to invalidate the ballots of the millions of Pennsylvania voters who utilized the mail-in voting procedures established by Act 77 and count only those ballots that Petitioners deem to be “legal votes.”

Petitioners’ challenge violates the doctrine of laches given their complete failure to act with due diligence in commencing their facial constitutional challenge, which was ascertainable upon Act 77’s enactment.

The want of due diligence demonstrated in this matter is unmistakable. Petitioners filed this facial challenge to the mail-in voting statutory provisions more than one year after the enactment of Act 77.

This is literally the most revealing, delusional, and all-around unhinged post I’ve ever seen

You need to get out more

I am.

Surprise surprise, you can be a liberal and think differently from other liberals.

I know that’s a hard concept for a partisan to understand, but it’s true.

I’m also a capitalist and work in corporate consulting. But I also support sustainability, green energy, unions, and fair pay.

You can be nuanced. You don’t have to be easy to label.

What’s “nothing but absolutely unmitigated bullshit” is ignoring that the US carbon emissions may be half of China’s, but they only have a fourth of the population, meaning that the carbon footprint of the average American is still twice a Chinese’s (and let’s not talk about India when their own carbon emissions are half of the US’s, making an Indian’s carbon footprint a whooping eighth of an American’s).

I feel like one would also need to add the distinction of class on this too. Because while the “average American” pollutes far more than the average Chinese or Indian, not all Americans pollute equally and much of the pollution comes from corporate executive types. It’s the rich Americans really holding the gas pedal down to roll coal over America.

Of course also if the US had a robust public transportation system to take cars off the road into far more efficient train and tram options that would help enormously and also help kill highway congestion for those who would have to drive still. But at our current condition we have to fight just to put the first brick down in a whole new public transit option and the people who plan this sort of thing are never members of the class who would use it.

(and given how the content of your “replies” never amounts to anything other than “you’re wrong” or “you’re dumb”, the spam and wasted space is even more annoying)

No, ‘whites’ would not be hated if they behaved like conquerors of other races.
Also equality is impossible.

Wecht’s concurrence is a thing of beauty. It goes into more detail on the merits of the case, that even if they weren’t barred by laches they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Petitioners cannot carry their enormous burden. They have failed to allege that even a single mail-in ballot was fraudulently cast or counted. Notably, these Petitioners sought to intervene in a federal lawsuit in which the campaign of President Donald J. Trump—an ostensible beneficiary of Petitioners’ efforts to disenfranchise more than one-third of the Commonwealth’s electorate—explicitly disclaimed any allegation of fraud in the conduct of Pennsylvania’s General Election.
