    Review of Justice Breyer’s new book (WashPost):

    During his nearly three decades on the Supreme Court, Breyer took a more pragmatic approach, issuing opinions or dissents and giving lectures that challenged originalists’ approach usually favored by conservatives. His new book, down to its title — “Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism” — aims to cement his belief in former chief justice John Marshall’s philosophy that “the Constitution must be a workable set of principles to be interpreted by subsequent generations.”

    The book also serves as Breyer’s warning that the textualist approach by the high court’s current conservative majority has led to wrongly decided cases with significant consequences for the country — most notably the restriction of access to abortion and the expansion of gun rights.

    Ramirez is back to gulping down the RW kool aid.

    Amazing how stupid people can be. However, I feel really sorry for the guys running that ship who suddenly lost control, knew what that meant and couldn’t stop it. At least they managed to get the warning out in time to prevent many cars and trucks from being on the bridge when the piling was hit.

    I would point out that Hamas was elected by a plurality, not a majority, and had lost a lot of support in the general population due to its failure to support a viable civic structure. Just as the Netanyahu government has lost a significant support among Israeis, so has Hamas among Palestinians.

    I would also point out the post earlier on this cartoon: EgidiusPfanzelter 1 day ago@BeniHanna6

    The effect of the Israeli IDF on Gaza is well-illustrated in an article in the WashPost today (Mar. 25) titled “What would have happened to friends and family if Gaza was home?” It is horrifying. Between the insane leadership in both Hamas and Israel, no one is “winning” but a lot of people are dying. It is a stain on the humanity of the world.

    See the post immediately above yours. Also, Hamas did not win control of Gaza in the election with a majority but only with about 34% of the vote.

    I know that they’ve closed off all links, which is so intellectually dishonest that it tends to make me question the value of Gocomics in general.

    You made that number up out of the thin air occupying your head.

    Hamas doesn’t care, and Netanyahu thinks Palestinians are completely expendable. In fact, Bibi was supporting Hamas under the table to justify "mowing the Palestinian “grass”.
