The supreme court has nothing to do with constitutional amendments. To propose one you need a 2/3 majority vote in both the house and senate (or 2/3 of states calling a constitutional convention, but no amendment has gone through this process). Then, it requires that 75% of the states ratify it.
There’s no chance the amendment will even get 2/3 of the congressional vote, much less 75% of states agreeing to it.
Yup, it was all about the taxes. If you look at basically any study on vapes that has come out of the US, the methodology is designed to produce negative results.
If the FDA cared about public health they would have actually regulated the market, instead of guaranteeing the market was flooded by sketchy Chinese disposables which generate a shit ton of dangerous and hazardous waste.
They would also ban cigarettes if they actually cared.
They need to side with the companies on this. The FDA fucked things up royally to crush the industry.
Edit: if anyone wants to know how they did this, it’s because of the Premarket Tobacco Product Applicatios (PMTA) process.
Basically, for every single SKU you made, you had to submit the application which costs about $250k minimum. This means that if you have a line of 10 flavors in 4 different nicotine strengths, you’d need 40 applications. Their guidelines for the applications were also super vague, basically guaranteeing they could deny all of them.
And that’s just the most egregious thing they did. They also labeled anything relating to vaping a tobacco product, including wire and batteries. Which would also be subject to the PMTA process.
Eh, it’s better to communicate with your partner and give them a chance to get you there by other means.
Chickens would be a medium of exchange in this scenario.
Chickens would be the currency in this scenario.
The French quarter isn’t below sea level like the rest of the city, so it should be fine.
Right? Sweet and savory often go well together.
Bold of you to assume it’ll get better
No one has mentioned magazines or newspapers yet.
That’s the “supposed to be” part
Nah, those guys are above the law. It’s not like anything happened the hundreds of other times the government has been caught violating the constitution or acting illegally.
Unfortunately it’ll likely get thrown out since the SC ruled that the police don’t have any obligation to protect people.
If you’re a Christian, yes. Not killing people is supposed to be like their number one rule.
If so, it’s a pretty weak one.
As a Texan, this is very surprising. Great job, Grand Jury.
Every day it becomes more of a prophecy.
Yeah, and they’re assuming you’re going to power it off of a 5v line. In most instances you’d want to power it off the existing doorbell transformer, so you have to step down the voltage and convert it to DC somehow. That’s $5-10 right off the bat.
Additionally, you’d want to have the esp chip and relay at the doorbell transformer, not at the actual doorbell. You’d need to have a second relay or power transformer for this, but that’s not a huge deal.
The project would likely be around $10-20, assuming you’re not going to 3D print an enclosure. Plus, if you already have a front door camera, chances are you’d already have a doorbell camera that can already do this.

Slavery wasn’t used on the original pyramids.
The difficulty is that our governments and voters are so polarized that an amendment banning the government from drowning puppies wouldn’t have a chance in hell of getting passed.
Half of the country wants the supreme court ruling to stay.
