Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.

International “law” is a misnomer, as you’ve noticed… it’s only enforceable at the end of a pointy stick, physical or economic. “Conventions” are a more appropriate phrase. This is indeed disappointing.

Yeah probably, he has the foresight of an infant. Doesn’t mean NATO countries will respect an attempted invocation of Article 5.

Trump can act as he wants, that doesn’t magically make other nations forget what NATO agreements actually say.

NATO was never involved in any of the other US-lead wars. Western countries may form a coalition for a war but that’s independent of and unrelated to NATO and purely at their own discretion, not out of any obligation. Feel free to protest your national government if they choose to get involved, but don’t act like they have no agency and Trump forced them to do anything.

NATO also only works defensively - the US struck first, and as a result no NATO country has any obligation to get involved, even if it were an attack on home territory.

I emotionally agree with you, but really the problem is that… anyone could do that in the future. Denying someone owed care because of political belief is a horrendous situation to explicitly allow, regardless of political affiliation.

Dems do something 6/10 bad? “Same shit different pile fuck the dems I’m voting Republican”

Republicans do something 8/10 ghastly? “Wow why didn’t the democrats stop them?”

I don’t understand what these people expect Democrats to be doing to “fight back”. They have absolutely no legislative power, they’re already filing lawsuits en masse but ALSO don’t control any meaningful courts, and they’re aggressively holding town halls and publishing their message to rally the people. Some of them are getting arrested trying to forcibly do their jobs but no, the Democrats are just letting this happen!!!

The American people are waiting to be saved by a political party that they intentionally made toothless, but they forget that governing is only allowed at the consent of the governed.

Nah they’re waiting to be saved by a party that they intentionally ensured had no control over any single segment of the government.

Word hard, picture easy, me angry!!!

Yeah idk why people get mad about shit they clearly didn’t read.

That’s not unreasonable. Religious types trend conservative/fundamentalist globally.

And Noem bragged about shooting her dog. And RFK Jr is the bear roadkill guy.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Romney did WHAT??
