Gorsuch: "the flu kills hundreds of thousands of people every year"

NO IT DOES NOT. STOP GETTING YOUR MEDICAL STATS FROM FOX NEWS.
From the CDC: "CDC estimates that flu has resulted in... 12,000 – 52,000 deaths annually between 2010 and 2020."

cdc.gov/flu/about/burd…
Covid killed 350,000 people LAST YEAR

I know Gorsuch, nor any conservative, nor any "omg I'm bored and want to go to the movies" person, will APOLOGIZE for their consistent Covid misinformation, but Covid is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more deadly then the GODDAMN FLU

Sadden to learn that Lani Guinier has passed away.
She taught me pretty much everything I know about voting right and, more importantly, she taught me to be passionate about protecting them and defending them.
See, when I was in law school, I was one of these Black kids you meet now and again who thought that at least some of the "victories" of the civil rights movement, especially over Jim Crow, were "permanent." That these battles had been fought *and won*.
Guinier, in the early 2000s mind you, taught me that no, these rights were *still* under attack. She opened my eyes to the *ongoing* attacks on voting rights launched by conservatives.

Now the *second* anti-vax Republican lawyer is arguing remotely because... they popped for Covid...
They, like, don't even have any questions for this woman. They treating her like a child who argues that they never have to take a bath.
It's actually hilarious to me listening to the justices uncomfortably try to make sense of a the kinds of argument you hear on Twitter every day.

The man arguing the anti-vax case now is this guy

nytimes.com/2019/10/26/fas…
This kid is getting hurt. He's not smooth and getting flabbergasted.

I expect Roberts or Alito to jump in and try to save him soon.
Breyer tot his guy basically right now: You want it to be one way, but it's the other way.

You gotta be FUCKING KIDDING ME. Alito is asking what's the big deal of issuing a stay and stopping OSHA while the Court considers the complicated issues.
FROM THE SAME FUCKING GUY WHO WOULDN'T STAY TEXAS'S BOUNTY HUNTING LAW AGAINST ABORTION PROVIDERS
Honestly how do this Republicans EXIST without their own hypocrisy RIPPING THEIR OWN HEADS APART
And, AND... while Alito (and now Roberts) are arguing that there's no RUSH to put in workplace vaccine requirements... WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A COVID SURGE AND HAVE SET WORLD RECORDS FOR DAILY CASES

Great. Cutting myself shaving was totally what this return to work week was missing.

Also, I'll be on @JoyAnnReid this evening to discuss why stopping the blood but ignoring the razor is how the DOJ would handle my face.
Oh, I'll be on with @alfranken so... okay... let me go find my straight man material. :)
Stop bleeding. Purple shirt masks the pain. Ready to Go.

Trying to ready myself for the Merrick Garland centrist Democrat fan club to crow about the 71 pinheads the @TheJusticeDept has sentenced to 2 weeks of Netflix for "Couping but white" ahead of the Garland presser.
It's gonna be annoying, but I'll survive.
Josh Heil Hawley still walking around out here free to coup again, but I'm supposed to be excited that the "i'm not going to jail" white lady got 60 days.
What's hard is that this situation also requires nuance. Only 71 have been sentenced, out of 705 who've been arrested and charged.
So the people who say this is BS so far ARE RIGHT. But the people who say he needs more time are ALSO RIGHT.
