  • Technically, SCOTUS didn’t do anything. They refused to take up the case, which means the 5th Circuit’s ruling, that superseded both lower courts that affirmed it was illegal by saying “we’ll address it next year after the primaries,” was the final say.

    The thing that needs to be made sense of is why the 5th Circuit is allowed to operate in bad-faith as a rubber stamp for everything Conservative.

    But for your first question, “That’s horrible. Why would you wish that on other people?” is often a great go-to to make people introspect. They might not do it in that moment, but your kids calling your thoughts and desires horrible has a way of sticking with you. (Source: am a parent)

    And if you don’t live with your parents, you could even throw in, “What if I lived in California? Would you still wish for the hurricane?”
