right, because only like .001% of employees would ever take advantage of this policy and it gives everyone peace of mind, so it's a no-brainer if you say that companies are taking into account costs (small number of people using the benefit) i don't see why they wouldn't also take into account the ...

I'm saying the company provides it to keep employees happy, not to save money. It's such a silly idea that I can only imagine someone would suggest it in bad faith.

i would be happier if my job gave me an additional $5,000 per year but somehow that one's not in the budget

I find it incredibly unlikely that a company covers abortion travel because of the alternative cost of maternity. That sounds like something I'd come up with if I was trying to discredit the idea that this is a thing people want provided to them. obviously it's a thing people want provided to them,...

Rylinks

many companies have, either because they believe it's the right thing to do or because it's cheaper than maternity benefits

if this is what lets state governments escape the establishment clause holdings, it will be the unwritten constitution prevailing over the parts of the constitution that are merely written down sure. do you think anti-discrimination language would not give the law a chance of overcoming strict scru...

i finished reading the dissent and if a majority wanted they could file the serial numbers off and issue it as a majority opinion.

Hey Rylinks, can you think of a chain of cases that might lead to SCOTUS reconsidering Dobbs? Roe was always open to challenges, the logic was flawed from the word go and the trimester scheme was rickety and left a lot of open questions. Dobbs seems really cut and dried, without much wiggle room, w...

there's not really any moral realism in the culture anymore so it's not that surprising people can't answer why murder is bad. Are you sure I think when people say things like "There are 73 genders," they believe they've reached this conclusion by observing reality first that's not a moral statemen...

yeah but i think in this hypothetical where 70 years from now the court flips it back again probably in the intervening time the alabama state legislature won't have decided hey you know what let's actually make abortion legal so like yeah the court is giving the power back to the states in terms o...

i understand that framing. but in practice congress never does anything, so i think another reasonable framing would be that the court is the entity that controls the legality of abortion (and the court is controlled by whichever party has won the game of controlling the court) state legislatures d...

like it's pretty easy to say the Lochner court (which used substantive due process to strike down provisions of the new deal such as workplace protections and minimum wage laws) was a product of judicial supremacy, and the switch was the relinquishment of judicial supremacy, even though the switch h...
