Originally posted by firstfloor View PostPutin tries to get onside with CP, Seer, and the Republican hoards:
On Monday, July 24, Vladimir Putin signed severe legislation which officially outlaws trans people from seeking gender-affirming care in Russia.
The new law bans “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person” which includes both taking hormones and gender-affirming surgery. Furthermore, it forbids trans people from changing their gender on official documents and public records, prevents transgender people from becoming foster or adoptive parents, and annuls all marriages where one partner has previously changed their gender. It should be noted that the new legislation does not apply to medical interventions needed to treat congenital anomalies in Russia.

Democrats want to do that now. The thing is, they have no problem with authoritarianism, or even political violence, so long as it's directed in the right direction for the right purposes.P1) If , then I win.

FDR certainly wanted to. Trump getting lucky to get three picks is not "packing SCOTUS". FDR wanted to and Dems now are wanting to expand SCOTUS (against the words of St RBG) because they want to push their agenda.

Given that packing the court had a specific meaning of increasing the size of the court and packing it with sympathetic judges...it really has only applied to FDR in modern history. That is, until democrats worked very hard to change the definition so that they could claim it was really republicans packing the court...
Now we have a court that is both corrupt and untrusted by the American public.

So, what you mean by "Court Packing" isn't "Court packing" so instead of blasting others for not recognizing your non-standard definition, perhaps you should just not use the incorrect term.P1) If , then I win.
