Federal and State are both pardonable, it is just different entities.

Federal means no parole.

Only if you have broadband in the grave with you.

The repeal would return public masking rules to their pre-pandemic form — created in 1953 to address a different issue: limiting Ku Klux Klan activity in North Carolina, according to a 2012 book by Washington University in St. Louis sociology professor David Cunningham.

Yeah, got rid of all my CDs a few years ago and now I'm buying them back a bit at the time because of all the stuff that is going out of print and you can no longer stream.

Should have just stored everything.

That's true.

But the chickens didn't notice the difference.

What more do you want?

X, the cowpunk band from Cali, would like a word with you. They were formed in 1980 and still perform.

That isn't actually Popper. That is Marcuse.

That crappy cartoon gets shared a lot but it does not actually represent Popper's views.

It is, however, A very accurate description of Marcuse's views. It even looks like him!

No, it is about people fundamentally misunderstanding the case and continuing to misuse a paraphrasing of a dictum, or non-binding statement, from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Incorrectly, acting as if it was a an actually point if law.

If used correctly, then it would be about protesting war. But people rarely understand what was said under Schenck v. United States, nor do they understand that it was overturned.

Brandenburg v. Ohio changed the standard to which speecg speech could be prosecuted only when it posed a danger of "imminent lawless action," a formulation which is sometimes said to reflect Holmes reasoning as more fully explicated in his Abrams dissent, rather than the common law of attempts explained in Schenck.

Fire in a theater is meaningless and useless.

No, the case was about protesting war.

So, whenever you use this trope, you continue to support the idea that protesting war is criminal and protesters should be imprisoned.
