As I understand it, reparations are for more than slavery, and include slavery, racial segregation, unequal treatment before the law, other types of discrimination, and "racism" generally. Hard to quantify, but quantifying such things is what civil suits are for, assuming the plaintiff wins.

There is a precedent in the U.S. for reparations. The Japanese-Americans who were interned in WWII got 20,000 bucks a head under the Civil Rights Act of 1988. Of course, that one was easy. It was restricted to those individuals who personally suffered "deprivation of life, liberty, or...

Maybe y'all should do it as a civil class-action suit. Canadians disadvantaged because of their colour, sex, Native status, sexuality, or gender, could sue Canada, which is a corporate person, prove their damages, and get paid. Canada would have available to it all the defences that a party to...

Why not? Are they not entitled to vote?

The primary election ballots list the names of the candidates, not the delegates, so no, I doubt most Murkans understand exactly how the process works. This is relevant now because of what I said about the intention to vote for X is not binding. At the Democratic Convention, there's likely to...

Who gets to decide what's "necessary?"

Stick with your twuck.

Actually, a dance-off would make as much sense as an election for picking the next PM.

Clarification: Neither Trump nor Biden is the candidate of their parties yet. The party candidates are chosen in party conventions. Neither party has yet held its convention. When one votes in a primary election, one is not voting for a candidate. One is voting for the delegate to the party...

Well, I suppose it beats untrained shooters.

Bingo. You see efforts to include everybody and achieve equality as threats to exclude straight White men.

Might be going a bit far, but probably better than the days when non-Whites and non-straights were ineligible to serve, and women only in support roles.

I see no legal problem with it.

Probably the same tail-chasing horse shit people use to "prove" their pet theory on gawd or gummint.

Nonsense! How can the water in the Caribbean be hot when it's10 degrees in Moose Jaw?

As to the last bit, they may have to drop all the charges (remember, he was convicted on 34 counts) that have to do with what he did about the Stormy Daniels affair while he was president. But he was not president when he committed several of the crimes in the indictment. They may, probably...

Dwive twuck.

Allow me: the Court held that there are three categories of immunity for a President's actions: Absolute immunity for any acts that fall within the exclusive Constitutional purview of the President. Examples would be negotiating treaties and ordering the armed forces. Presumptive immunity...

And you swallowed it like a cumshot! C'mon, admit it. . . you believe Jabba the Trump when he says he didn't fuck Stormy Daniels.

It surely did fuck with your mental retardation.
