Not easy to do when there’s no way to force them to retire, and increasing the size of the court would’ve just meant Republicans doing that again when they regain majorities.

It would be nice, but in my experience waaaayyy too many good people die too soon, and total shit bags keep chugging along (though I am sure that is cognitive dissonance, it’s all kinda random.)

Maybe, I hope not. I am occasionally an idiot, but I try pretty hard not to be that kind of idiot.

I recall an NPR radio interview from long, long ago. I don’t remember the names of the two people involved, but the interviewee (a teen TV (?) personality) kept getting the interviewer’s first name wrong, and it went on like that for a while. The interviewer (an older gentleman) never corrected her. She finally realized (or was told soto voce) the fellow’s name. She (terribly embarrassed): “I’m so sorry!!!” He (happily and enthusiastically): “That’s all right! You can call me anything you want!” She giggled… relieved. It was such a charming moment.

Did you watch the one-minute clip above with Samuel L. Jackson?
He had every right to take umbrage over being confused with another person, just because they’re both black men.
A lot of white people do that. And there’s usually a reason why they do it, which is why, as I understand it, black people often find it annoying at best (and often as well, why they sometimes prefer not to brush it off in some “charming” way).

YES, I did, and YES, Samuel had every right “to take umbrage”. But my NPR story was NOT meant to stand as some opinion on the specifics of Jackson interview. The Jackson interview involved race, and my story involved screwing up someone’s name. And everything you said from “Jackson?” is goddamn obvious.

Be nice if it were more obvious to more white folks.

Can you imagine that “our” conservative majority Supreme Court would actually rule against a state’s right of self-determination???

This was on the radio, so I have no idea about they being POC or not. Sorta wondering why you were guessing that they were not.
