If they make testing positive for scheduled drugs a crime like in the red flag countries, we’re fucked. Everyone that tests positive for thc is getting jail time if this happens.
I seem to recall that it used to be a misdemeanor with a minimum 180 days of jail time for testing positive on any drug test, including a pre-employment screening, for scheduled drugs including thc in South Dakota but I can’t find any sources about if that was really on the books or not.
Did anyone ever try “I was given drugs without my knowledge”? That’s happened to me.
Hmmm
Thoughtcrime
It’s now illegal to have a disease.
Weird, I appear open to pushing Clarence Thomas into the Grand Canyon. He’s such an astoundingly shitty human being that I don’t understand how he lives with himself.
I don’t understand how he lives with himself.
I mean, I get that, but there’s no amount of money that could make me do the things he’s done because I’d hate myself in a way money can’t fix. He (and the rest of the conservatives on the court) have hurt so many people and I don’t know how they aren’t even a little bothered. It’s like they’re legal robots who can’t feel empathy.
Your first mistake is thinking that people like Thomas actually feel empathy for other people that aren’t them. There’s been studies on this - wealth, especially extreme wealth, physiologically changes how your brain processes things like empathy, altruism, etc.
Yea, good luck with that
It’s no more absurd than somehow sleeping outside is illegal. It boggles the fucking mind.
Not being a wealthy white hard right Christian will be illegal. The point is to make it impossible for people to live legally, so you can just push them around any way you like.
This is just a regurgitation of https://www.newsweek.com/clarence-thomas-wants-supreme-court-dispose-landmark-ruling-1915455
The US has tranferred $2 triliion to the wealthy see 1976 losing the war on drugs. Making drug addiction illegal is just a way to justify transferring another $2 trillion to the wealthy. It’s not about ending drug addiction. It’s about profit with a side dish of punishing those that they think they are better than.
That prize fuckhead is open to anything thatll throw a monkeywrench in the works
That’ll fix it
but his wealthy-donor’s “gift” addiction … wouldn’t be illegal, of course…
The dude didn’t say a word for decades. Now he has a loud opinion about literally everything. I wonder what he’s thinking about my new tube socks or the lunch I had two days ago. I’m sure he’ll let me know.
“In an appropriate case, the Court should certainly correct this error,” Thomas wrote.
Thomas is making called shots now for rich people with private prisons. What a muppet.
There’s 158 private prisons in the US. That’s roughly 2.5% of detention facilities in the US. People talk like the majority of prisons are privately owned but it’s actually quite rare.
We’ve already had judges doing cash for prisoners, cash for kids, corruption. They don’t need all the budget to attract judges, a few prisons gets the job done.
The amount of privately owned facilities isn’t a good metric. The amount housed in private prisons is that being about 8% combine the two and it gets uncomfortable.
As long as the Sackler family pays him after the ruling it is all legal.
Wouldn’t that be a convenient way to keep the
slaveprison industry running?If there is one area of American society outside immigration that needs immediate bumper to bumper reform it’s the prison system… It’s worse than the third world.
