    Uh, oh. What was the vote? Do I want to know?

    Edit

    While the decision was unanimous, the liberal justices wrote a sharp concurrence that accused the conservative majority of going further than needed

    Oh! A sharp concurrence!

          I have never read a harder cope sentence than "sharp concurrence". Like we make fun of these people for fetishizing losing and dissent, now they fetishize agreeing? What the actual fuck lmao?

            I like etymology and looking things up. But I don't think I even did a quickie google of the judge/justice use of "concurrence" because legal shit can be so tedious.

            TIL - there's something even more lib than a "withering dissent". A "sharp concurrence" is the most lib thing possible. I thought a concurring opinion might be complicated. Nope. It's very simple.

            Concurring opinion

            In law, a concurring opinion is in certain legal systems a written opinion by one or more judges of a court which agrees with the decision made by the majority of the court, but states different (or additional) reasons as the basis for their decision.

        I was honestly gonna guess 7-2 or something like that, with the dissenters arguing about how being impeached should impact legal ability to run again or something similar and technical, but without real standing

        Liberals continue to be more pathetic than expected

        The rollin' coal Trump Train leads to fascism.

        The Trump Train with the lib caboose also leads to fascism. But it's important to recognize that it's a diesel and it goes slower. Also the libs want Americans to know they are working as hard as they are able are to get permission to paint a rainbow flag on their train car.

          I'm pretty sure diesel trains are faster than coal trains. After all, Hitler didn't actually win any elections; he was appointed by Paul von Hindenburg.

        I entirely forgot about concurrences. I have a TIL comment lower in this thread - https://hexbear.net/comment/4663388
