Ginsburg’s opinion makes clear that the clause applies, and that it is “incorporated” under the 14th Amendment’s due process Clause. Justices Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch agreed with the outcome, but said they would have relied on a different part of the 14th Amendment.

I’ll not get into a connotation versus denotation slapfight: 17.4 million people, or 34% of the electorate, voted to leave the EU. That’s not ‘most’ of anything. I guess if you’re spreading horseshit around, ‘most’ sounds better than ‘barely a third’.

Which was still more than the number of people who voted to remain. Framing it that way is trying to imply that all the people who didn't vote must've wanted to remain, which is highly dubious.

with a sample size of 17.4 million it's not only highly dubious, but almost certain a majority of the other 66.6% wanted to leave.

Most everybody has them on weekends. But there are a few exceptions, even other first world countries. That isn't the sort of caveat we used to take comfort in, but I'll take what I can get.

Hmmm, I wonder what the difference is.


quote:

In separate opinions, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas argued that the ban on excessive fines should be incorporated through the privileges or immunities clause, which states, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” (Crucially, the privileges or immunities clause is specific to US citizens — not “any person,” like the 14th Amendment’s due process clause.)


Oh, that explains it.

The argument here is that in a binary referendum between "change" and "don't change", if you don't vote for change then you are satisfied with the status quo.
