    Sure. Why would someone like Clarence Thomas or Amy Coney Barrett care about such things?

    These fucking people…

      Well, all the conservatives will remember they’re one of the good ones when it comes time to start lining more people up against the wall

      Right? Right.

      Calls for violence are against instance rules.

        are you sure? I only see

        We do not tolerate threats of and calls for violence in any form against any living creature.

        in the tos of this instance (https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/) coming close to what fives maybe suggest.

          Did you seriously say “are you sure?” and then link to the exact words the person said?

          That is what I’m referring to. No calls for violence against people. Full stop.

            Unless we talk about Russia in Ukraine or Israel in Palestine. Then apparently it’s just fine. But if I mention “guillotine” and “France” in the same sentence with “corrupt politicians” apparently that’s bad.

              I suspect calls for the assassination of specific generals on either side of either of those conflicts would be deemed as violating the rule as well.

    I thought it was common knowledge they dismissed jurors for those reasons? Women and African Americans tend to vote a certain way.
