  • “help” repay the “help” for a fight that really only existed in Europe. The French Indian War was a subsidiary conflict to the 7 Years War in Europe.

    Britain then chose to squeeze extra taxes from the colonies, who didn’t get a voice in parliament to protest forced participation in the conflict in the first place. Then remember that the British answer to the unrest was to HOUSE SOLDIERS IN THEIR HOMES. Imagine if Trump or some other authoritarian leader today responded to mass civil unrest by couch surfing soldiers through everyone’s houses. Very easy to imagine a revolution then.









  • I think that’s still small talk either way tho? The fact that you launch into some part of your day doesn’t change that it’s gauging your mood on her end. You could just as easily answered: “Snoozefest, how about your day?” or “Nightmarish headache from start to end, hold me”. See how these are all logical answers that would (I hope) evoke a different response from your partner?





  • We do, supreme judicial authority is given to the SC in article 3 of the Constitution. This person you’re replying to isn’t being very clear that the explicit power to overturn laws was established in Marbury v Madison.

    This power is called Judicial Review and it was understood to be the way the SC is supposed to work. A Federalist power grab by John Adams forced the SC to be explicit and say “we can overturn laws because that’s the only way the SC is coequal to the other branches”.

    In other words, Judicial Review was always an IMPLIED POWER of the court, but a court case made them spell it out.


  • All the comments here jumping to talk about how wrong this is, I gotta ask: haven’t you seen a bad movie?

    Art films or blockbusters (or rather, attempts at blockbusters), plenty of movies just suck. Many bad movies will have endless amounts of people trying to change the narrative with the words on the right column.
