    not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller

    BTW, I never called you this. I was making an arbitrary comparison to any number of us having a conversation about the ruling and saying “not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller” compared to “a sitting SCOTUS jurist who dissented” in terms of “we better pay attention”

    I think you were downvoted because your post implies you agree with the majority. You have clarified it by saying:

    [you agree with] conclusion that it was the wrong ruling.

    Probably should have started with that.

    I responded more directly since your ire seems to be pointed at me.

      Probably should have started with that.

      I did. At least pretty clearly when I said they were crowning themselves king rather than the POTUS king. Apparently, tho, I have to say I disagree with the ruling in every post or posters will assume that any disagreement with someone who claims the ruling is wrong must mean I think the ruling is correct. I guess I should have known this already tho.

      BTW, I never called you this.

      “Did you read the fucking dissent? That’s a sitting SC Justice saying that quote, not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller:”

      Funny to read you say my post, which doesn’t even remotely imply that I think the ruling was correct, implies that. . .but when you respond to my point, saying it is wrong, and throwing in “not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller,” that doesn’t imply you think that about me.

      I responded more directly since your ire seems to be pointed at me.

      You’re projecting here, as you were the one cursing at me and insulting people. I said nothing about you and I’m not really irked at all; I understand fully how partisan the average poster is and that any dissent is going to get piled on.

        Apologies if it came off that way. Truly meant that as a generalization and pretty much include myself in the snark if it matters at this point…
