   I hate the US situation is so politically and legally screwed up that my current favorite source of insight into what's actually going on is a lawyer scrutinizing and explaining the facts around any maneuver.

   But if I'm going to get my news from a lawyer, I love that #LegalEagle exists to do just that. He is funny, has a keen sense of justice and facts and does not hold back when someone engages in misleading rhetoric.

   The below in response to "[the ban on firearms for domestic abusers] was an outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted":

     @clacke NGL, Devon gives good jurisprudence. I'm sure there's a episode of his I'd quibble with, but I've yet to see it.

     @clacke so many lawyers in the US presume that the law is good/just and it gets so frustrating

     The screenshot is from the current latest video "Why Everyone Hates the Hunter Biden Plea Deal".

     I'm refreshing my NewPipe subscription list at multiple times per day now to see when he will have something say about the latest SCOTUS stuff.

     Points not yet scrolled onto the screen in the screenshot:
     - Popular election of the senate
     - A nine judge Supreme Court
     - Acceptance

     Does "acceptance" mean something specific here, some legal theory or doctrine?

     @clacke fwiw the north american continent and the usa government was always with a tension between strong pro and anti slavery elements. constitutional originalism is difficult but i still think its better than textualism.

     @Moon Coming from the European legal tradition my view is that obviously the intent of any law stands above almost any nitpicking about the precise legal text, but in a US legal tradition, isn't going beyond the text almost non-American?
