and I am asking what the hell is a law, more than words on paper we all agree to follow, If the stakes where as dire as was being said, why the hell did we stay following them, the choices where simple, use your right to direct state electors to under no circomstance cast a vote for said individual, or to contenue to follow your interpritation, the plain text of the document you say you care for and say you have an oath to. Laws do not have mystical power to force someone to follow. At the war crime trials "I was just following the law/orders" will not be a defence. Chose your side and stick to it

Please explain to me why then the states did not just ignore Scotus, or use there constitutinaly, scotus garenteed rights to determine who the state electors vote for, and order that they could not vote for trump, a thing that is allowable without saying no to the court.

and before you say that a state cannot just ignore the supreme court, need I remind you that right now the president is, and we have had it done by county clerks refusing marage licences before.

I would disagree, I read that this is mostly them being tired with the questions on the policy. While I agree that some of the questions are rediculous, and sympethize with the need to keep students off their phones or other devices, an all out ban removes the ability to instruct students on how to use it, as well as the regulation is really shottily crafted as we can see from one of the questions helpfully listing it in its full text.

"Any non-HCPSS device that may be used to send or receive data via voice, video or text. This includes, but is not limited to, mobile phones, e-readers, tablets, personal computers, wearable technology, video recorders or other devices equipped with microphones, speakers and/or cameras" Let me start out by saying this is utter horse shit as a regulation, while it starts out fine, this only applies to devices we do not own, so loaned out computers are fine, the rest of this utterly falls appart.

First we have the ban classification, any device that may be used to send or receive data via voice, video, or text. This I can work with, so personal laptops are catagoircaly banned no questions asked, carrier pigeons are not as they are not devices, E-Readers without internet capability are fine as they cannot send or receve, video recorders should be fine, agian assuming they are not internet or bluetooth capable (think old school film camera) because agian they cannot send or receve the data they are getting, Air fryer is good, a phone in a bunch of little parts is fine because its not working, ECT ECT.

However what we just have next in the "Includes but is not limited to" Section includes some items that are perfectly fine by the regulation written above, E-Readers, some are uable to send or reseve data unless plugged into a computer, and this say may be, and while that clause is super vauge, there is no reason to think that it would be linked to the school chrome book, "Video recorders" Also not always aplicable nor "other devices equiped with microphones, speakers and or cameras" This would include some old tape recorders or the point and shoot single use cameras, and while a speaker can be technicaly called "sending data via voice" if it has the range to be able to faithfully recreate voice, playing a sound is not what is normaly understood as "sending data" and without creating a deffintion section I am hesitent to grant them this as playing sound is outside of the normaly agreed apon usage of the term. This inlcudes section, does give me an idea of what they wanted to ban, however it is not compatable with what there statment is. I will grant that this probably has force, as it specificaly mentions that these devices are included in the ban, but they give me no real idea of what the previous secion is meaning, and with no deffintion section I really cannot be sure beyond normal usage of words.

Now to the fun part, Under this, most TI-Graphing calculators bought by the student (common practus in the US) would be banned as it is possible to get them to send and receve data via text, and while I have never done it myself I have heard it is not hard. While this may require first plugging it into a computer, as we see with the e-book example that is something they think the students are able and willing to do on the school computer, so a TI-calculator would be banned under this regulation unless provided by the school

Carrier pigeon, not banned under this, however it is probably banned under some please dont bring pets to school provision. That being said, if it is an animal that cannot without just cause be removed, a service dog ect, then they would be in a grey zone on if they can send messages as they are not a device. That being said they could be removed for exceeding the bounds of the animal and causing a disruption. I am not a lawer, I do not deal with ADA issues regularly, I just have a job that deals alot with regulations.

Air Frier,probably fine. Personal Lap top dispite what the admin has repetedly said is not allowed, it is even mentioned in the policy.

the admin says teachers will not be hunting, however there is no way to enforce this.

TLDR the admin is probably supportive of the intent behind the policy, however the students trolling because they do not like it, and the terrible nature of the policy would leave it hard to defend and anyone tired at the end of the day

I would like to point out the "generaly" here, I still would trust it more as a what is DEFINITLY venomous, not what is safe

And Hitler killed Hitler, I see no one lining up to give him a medal because we understand what fucking context is.

also interesting that you are comparing Triage to Eugenics,

so my media literacy is that the US government is so wholesome they would never do that? or that Government employees are smart enough to not use there .gov email for this?

I am failing to see how some or even just 1 mod having a .gov is so below the level of belivablity that it must be disreguarded prematurely. I am in this comment in no way saying they where present, but also that it seems silly to just assume that this is "obviously not a think that could happen" Like the articles that will spring up that someone broke the speed of light

between 2 and 3 there is a step that goes from "nearly half" to "roughly half" and that is what makes that jump easier you would also likely see that between 3 and 4.

however 2-4 are not needed because 45% is by most metrics a "significant amount"

Only answer that would make me happy

Plurality, as you pointed out he did not get a majoirty

I belive the offical wording is "wierd hand motion" and "heart going out to the crowd" because clearly none of us have eyes
