The constitution says they serve “in good behavior”, so that could be seen as a restriction on setting term limits. The only way to remove one is impeachment.

Who would challenge it?

My question is, who brings suit? You can’t bring suit if you’re not an injured party. The justices can’t bring suit without recusing themselves. This is quite the conundrum.

It would take a constitutional amendment, something that isn’t going to happen.

Justices can just rule it unconstitutional.

There hasn’t been a non disappointing android release since KitKat.

The algorithms killed the platforms. They’ve become vapid, empty holes that only attract people addicted to them like junkies.

The internet can be fun, but you’re not going to find it on the platforms. You’re only going to find fun in places where people talk to each other. And even then, if you’re thin skinned you’re going to wind up in an outrage filled circlejerk. If you loosen up and go where the algorithms don’t exist you can have a good time.

This is so wrong it’s absurd, it gives you absolutely no information on the history of this conflict. The current conflict dates back to the early 20th century, well before world war 2.

It’s called Pleroma.

No matter what you think of it, someone’s going to try to guilt and browbeat you. Support the Palestinians? You’re antisemitic and support terrorism. Support Israel? You’re supporting an oppressive apartheid state. So who cares whether you’re allowed, this is the world we live in, no matter what you think about anything there’s someone out there who’s going to call you a bad person for it. Just learn about things before you form an opinion, use your judgment and critical thinking and then figure out the truth of whatever it is.

Personally, I don’t support either side. I can see how they both kind of brought each other’s retaliation on themselves. I just lament innocent people dying and dislike how it affects me.

Misuse lol. People need to get their panties out of their butthole. You build a photo generator and get mad when someone uses it to make a picture of Marx with tits. Who cares? Crybabies can cry about it.

Can you see the tip of your nose?

Yes, and that’s OK.

They want to make everything impossible to fix. They want to turn our land into landfills and fleece us of our income.

Climate change or no, electric fan or no, anyone with self respect would rather buy a 1990 beater than a new car, they’re user and owner hostile.

You’re going to need a source on the claim that most violent crime is in the furtherance of other profitable crime? You ever heard a phrase such as “if weed were legal then people wouldn’t kill each other selling weed”? I thought this was settled science. Is it so outlandish an idea that most people who kill do it because it is profitable for them to do so that you want me to google it for you?

Alright, so let me ask you, what does “common sense” gun control look like?

I never unreasonably assumed he meant personal ownership. I just thought you know, since you can read a dead mans mind and know he was talking about the French revolution or something you must really, really know what you’re talking about.

“Let them take arms” can be reasonably construed to mean “let them own guns”. Saying “in no way” is categorically incorrect. Saying it might not mean that is not unreasonable, but saying it definitely doesn’t is absolutely unreasonable, which is what you’re saying.

What he meant, what was going on in his head, we can’t know. Well, except for you apparently, because you really know what you’re talking about. But the rest of us, all we can do is take his words at face value.

I’ve looked at those stats and I’m not really convinced.

Half of gun deaths are suicides. In those cases, a desire to die is the cause of death. Something is deeply wrong in our society if children want to kill themselves in epidemic numbers, and we need to figure out what that is and fix it.

Out of the rest, it’s almost entirely violence from organized crime. That violence doesn’t go away if you ban guns, at best other weapons get used, at worst criminals just don’t obey the gun laws. When two rival groups are fighting over a crack dealing monopoly in a neighborhood, if you blame the result of that on the tools used you’re ignoring another real problem. Why is America so addicted to drugs. Just like with suicide, I think we need to figure out what’s driving that.

Something in our society is very very wrong, our society is sick and the symptoms are teen suicide (and veteran suicide and suicide as a result of divorce…) and widespread drug addiction. Guns show up in those dynamics simply because there are a lot of guns in America.

Projecting what?

We are discussing a Thomas Jefferson quote, not Ben Franklin, and in the quote we are discussing he literally says “let them take arms.”

OK, well, maybe. if they’re so harmless in the face of a standing army then why not let them have their guns?

I never said that, but you ascribing scenarios that a long dead man had in mind as opposed to taking their words at face value really tells me that you really, really know what you’re talking about, a lot.
