SCOTUS under Trump

[magnet]

Why? Fear of liability is the usual motivation to keep dangerous products out of stores. We don’t need laws that specifically ban children’s toys embedded with razor blades, because nobody would be crazy enough to make them. So I don’t see why gun manufacturers should get a pass.

I want to see what these parents find during discovery. What did execs inside Remington talk about? Did they target certain types of people? Did they know that their guns were a favorite for people who might commit mass murder and sell them anyway?

This is why we can’t have nice, razor embedded things.

[CraigM]

It’s why we can never have our officially licensed Mad Max toy line.

Then how did this borderline reckless product line get introduced in the 80s, praytell?!

[Guap]

It’s oral arguments season. Gonna be lots of news of SCOTUS! Everyone is back in suits in the building now.

Ahem! If I’m not mistaken that was from one of SNL’s first season episodes, namely the first Christmas one, with Candice Bergen as host, so firmly in the mid-1970s.

Of course, for some of the younger people here any time before the early 2000s is “shortly after WW 2, right?” ;-)

mid-1970s.

Also known as, The Time of Hazy Memories.

[Menzo]

Ok, boomer.

I find this math scary and upsetting:

1975-1945 = 30
2019-1975 = 44

[Papageno]

Ok, boomer.

Born in '61 myself, so yes, I guess I (barely) qualify. My late father was just a hair too young to be a WW2 vet (turned 18 in 1946), and I was the firstborn of his “second batch” of four.

[legowarrior]

Ok, boomer.

I was wondering when I would see that phrase on this forum.

[Gordon_Cameron]

Dammit, beat me to it!

That math is upsetting.

I’m right in the middle of Gen X, so I get to watch the Boomers fight the Zoomers and just shake my head, judging you both quietly.

[RothdaTheTruculent]

Ok, boomer.

[Dan_Theman]

judging you both quietly.

It’s okay, they won’t notice us; we’re the “lost generation” ;)

Missing 1989 (Berlin Wall/Soviet fall). If one extends WWII through the Cold War…

I greatly fear that Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not survive until spring, much less November of 2020.

[Balasarius]

That’s OK. The McConnell rule says you can’t fill a Supreme Court justice in a President’s final year in office.
