This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

F'em! Take him off anyway. TX, AL will back them up, right? by beatgoeson
And why not? Ignoring the supreme court has become acceptable. A long sorting-things-out line would begin with the initial violators in Alabama and Texas. No rules any more, and even a Supreme Court recusal, in a conflict of interest situation seems like a black-robe version of ignoring a disagreeable decision, doesn't it.
"Texas governor ignores Supreme Court ruling, adds more razor wire..." "Alabama Is Defying the Supreme Court on Voting Rights"
If it absolutely must come to including suspected insurrectionists , add Trump later as a write-in option. Not fair? I suppose it could be straightened out in time maybe 2025, and don'e through our court system, though it moves slowly, people say. Seems to be an accepted approach it. Delay,delay,delay: our theme of the day.
