SCOTUS declares no one is above* the law.

  • Terms and conditions apply.

As a general rule, the state should over-supply services. There should be slack in the system almost all the time. Relaxed GPs with lots of time to talk to their patients. So many teachers that the main trouble is finding rooms for them all.

Not only does this see a better quality of service mostly, but it also cushions the system in the event of an unexpected shock.

If you have just enough professionals to deliver at 100%, you don’t have enough professionals.

Every year the HSE is pushed to breaking point by the entirely predictable and expected seasonal rise in influenza cases.
We have one of the highest pupil-teacher ratios in Europe.
We just stopped building public housing a decade ago, and we were deprecating it for years before.
But every party will campaign next election on cutting income tax and USC

@palestine

Folks at Politico are making a valid point here:
"Far from forcing a pause in the fighting, accusations of war crimes will cause Israelis to rally around their embattled prime minister"
"If Khan and his panel of six experts — five of them British, curiously — hoped that by accusing both sides of war crimes and crimes against humanity they could prompt a pause in the fighting...they will have been disappointed"

@NotImpressed @palestine I don't think anyone expected Israel to stop. Not if you ask nicely, not if you threaten them with big sticks.

If you've been on the fence about buying an e-bike or solar panels or power station, you might want to make that decision soon.

Reagan removing Carter's solar panels from the roof of the White House will be taught to schoolkids the way they learn about Canute ordering the tide to retreat.

In addition to a 17th-century Dutch theologian (Petrus van Mastricht) and the King James bible, one of the authorities cited by Alabama chief justice Parker in his ruling on IVF is the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas. Parker's ruling cites Aquinas six times.

As someone with an M.A. and Ph.D. in historical theology — from a Catholic university — I know a little about Aquinas. Here are some salient points:

So what are the odds the current SCOTUS throws out this entire ruling as a violation of first amendment separation of church and state?
