If you really want a ghetto casino try Stockmens in Elko. Every change they made in electrical is a conduit screwed onto an outer wall to junction boxes that are supposed to be behind the drywall. Same with plumbing.

Paid $86 for two rooms. Got a free beer as part of the room and a $20 slot machine credit. Third try I win $106 and called it a night at 1am. 

Overall it was shithole in a shithole town but better than watching an Angels home stand against last place teams. 

We used to go to a yearly softball tournament in Elko and even though I knew why we were there, I would still wonder why.

What you idiots fail to appreciate is that this court took the first step in destroying all substantive due process rights.  

All you wanna-be patriots keep pointing to states rights but if Thomas is correct and gets his way, your freedoms protected by the federal government (freedoms you actually care about) will be left to the states and the sharia-lite states could, without interference remove basic rights.  

I don’t give a shit about abortion.  On a personal level I find it repugnant, but that’s my personal feeling and feel no desire to impose my personal opinions on the rest of the electorate.  What I do care about is freedom.

Call it hyperbole but time will show.  And what the most likely outcome is the dissolution of the republic, likely through violent means.  A nation created under God ultimately destroyed in his name.

Congrats.

I agree with you here as it doesn't impact me in any way but I'm curious on your opinion on on the actual legal basis of the Roe decision . Abortion (or any health care) is not a right in the constitution so the 10th amendment puts that right at the state level. The court in Roe made it a right without amending the constitution which may be an over reach on their part. Isn't that the central issue with this ruling?

I believe the focus on interracial marriage is a distraction. Thomas is likely questioning the logic supporting gay marriage. Marriage will continue to be challenged by polygamist , under age kids, and others as to why they can’t marry. Also , if marriage between two men is the same as man and woman, the argument can be made there is no difference between man and woman. That argument is being made today and it leads into Title IX issues as well. 
With contraception, we’re saying a woman’s reproductive system has assurances that don’t exists for all. For example , the FDA blocked access to Hydro and other treatments which blocked desperate patients ability to try potentially life saving drugs. Libs can’t have it both ways. If a woman’s reproductive system has unlimited protections those same protections must apply to male respiratory systems. Thomas is saying someone has to make these decisions that aren’t constitutionally protected and that’s done best at the state level. The courts history of selectively choosing isn’t fair or constitutionally correct.

Things done at state level don't bother me.  When the church gets into things at state level I think they should piss off.

Do you mean the actual church or religious ideals?

Church attendance is down so I think those days are gone most places. Religious progressives were a problem in the early 1900s.  I do see the atheist and climate change crowd as a religion. Atheist have fought and gained recognition as a religion in areas that benefit their cause. On the other hand , they play the secular role to enter our schools etc. I’m ok with both points of view having equal standing or removing both from our schools etc.

Says the guy who is dumb enough to think the president runs the economy. 

Then again, maybe Jason has his finger on the pulse of the retard American electorate.

It would make sense, no?

More than 1 million voters switch to GOP in warning for Dems

https://www.yahoo.com/news/more-1-million-voters-switch-040817454.html

More than 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican Party over the last year, according to voter registration data analyzed by The Associated Press. The previously unreported number reflects a phenomenon that is playing out in virtually every region of the country — Democratic and Republican states along with cities and small towns — in the period since President Joe Biden replaced former President Donald Trump.

I love it when cals gets all lawyery.

Yeah it is nice.  Just like when Biden sometimes almost seems Presidential instead of just acting like a fake tough guy who grew up rough.  These are cherishable moments.

Supreme Court just ruled on the high school football coach prayer case.  6-3 says he absolutely can pray if he wants to and that he has no obligation to “hide” his religious beliefs just because he is on the football field.

The dissent whines that the kids are vulnerable and impressionable to being exposed to this.

Nice to see a ruling that recognizes the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion.

I mentioned in the 2022 Midterms thread that you can never discount the ability of either side to do something that costs them seats particularly the R's.  Like the 2020 election where Trump egged people on who normally may not vote to vote against him and his platform I think this will have a similar effect particularly in battle ground states.

Bump stocks are pointless but the bigger picture is that government agencies should not be creating laws. Last time I checked, that was congress' job. The job of the police, FBI and ATF is to enforce laws, not make them .

In this case, I think it was a Trump executive order.  FBI and ATF did not make this law.  I agree that Congress should be the one's making these laws.  But they have more important things to do it seems, and even if they made these laws, there is so much pork added, that it gets rejected not for the original bill, but for the add ons.

Edit:  Although after typing all that.  ATF probably has a right for regulating a product/s.  Especially if they deem it to fall under a category that is considered banned like a machine gun.
