Their disinformation services even received a memo recommending watching Tucker Carlson to pick up talking points.

I doubt Musk would be making such a boast unless he was sure nothing would come of it. I'm not calling him a coward, mind you. I don't think he is. But he is prone to grandstanding and free publicity is hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "bounty hunter" model caught most everyone by surprise. I'd heard this issue discussed in both left and right forums for over 20 years and never heard a hint of any plan going toward that route. I don't personally think bounty hunters should hold up to scrutiny when applied to people exercising their constitutional rights. If it did, you could have anti-free speech bounty hunters and anti-free press bounty hunters and anti-"people attending church" bounty hunters. But for now, they've got a foothold.

unclevlad Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 The Idaho law also has a better shot at being upheld. They allow a lawsuit against the provider from, IIRC, relatively close family only. I still hate it, but the members of their groups by and large do have a legitimate interest. I absolutely don't think they have an interest that should be considered superior to the mother's...but they do have an interest. I'm afraid that the tighter terms are likely to be upheld. I'm still hoping that the bounty aspect gets thrown out; as we've discussed, yeah, this'll explode in so many ugly ways. But that's where we're going.

Technically, no. Biden can't use it, even with this. It's like "terrorist group" -- not an empty phrase, but one with specific requirements and consequences. The State Department apparently has a formal process to declare someone as a war criminal. That said, the ICJ's ruling can only greatly facilitate such a formal declaration, if Putin doesn't back off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
