I reserve hate for people who cut you off at the last minute when if they pulled their head out of their asshole and checked their rear view once in a while they could have seen you coming and passed that car fucking ages ago, then speed up when they merge back into the right lane. Two tons of steel and they know fuck-all about how to drive, fuck those fucking fucks.

I thought it was just me. ACC helps keep my BP at safe levels.

> per the Constitution SCOTUS can only strike down laws that do not follow the Constitution

SCOTUS granted this power to itself in Marbury vs. Madison.

Originalism is wielded exclusively to advance a desired political outcome. Per your definition, Originalists should feel compelled to abstain from judicial review, as it's not present in the literal text of the Constitution. Since I see no clamoring for that retrenchment, we are free to assume it's because that would not aide the radical majority's obviously regressive political agenda.

A company has to (theoretically) follow the laws of any country in which is does business, for business done in that country, at least. If Youtube is showing ads to Canadian viewers, they are doing business in that country. Just because a company puts their HQ in Ireland for tax purposes, it does not mean they only have to obey Irish laws when dealing with American consumers.

> something that they never intend

This "intention" is based on their decision to ban competing stores, which is argued to be anticompetitive, but beyond the statue of limitations. Each act in pursuit of that intention is distinctly and equally anticompetitive.

They don't just get a pass in perpetuity because they ran out the clock on the setting an unlawful policy.

But I'm not going to argue or decide the case so we shall have to wait and see.
