Repealing or modifying section 230 does nothing to stop “internet censorship” or whatever the hell you want to call it. In fact, it would force social media companies to be more in moderating their content, and would also damage smaller forums and sites unable to expend the resources that a Twitter or Facebook has to automate or otherwise handle moderation of content, and unable to withstand legal challenges.

A separate category in sports for the one transgender kid in a school. I'm sure that'll work out great.

That's unless the Democrats manage to win the Georgia Senate runoffs and pack the Supreme Court with hundreds of Democrat-appointed justices, undermining the separation of powers, judicial independence, and threatening the long-term health of American democracy. It means that Democrats will ironically be able to challenge any election result in court, win, and remain in power indefinitely. Corruption and authoritarianism will inevitably take hold and Democrat officials will be able to abuse their authority with complete impunity.
My country's judicial independence was significantly undermined for many years by a certain, slimy, Islamist, antisemitic P.O.S. whom I will not name, and countless elections were stolen by his party through their dirty tactics, unprecedented electoral fraud, and carefully-timed power outages. It took a record turnout, a massive corruption scandal, an unpopular goods & services tax, and a huge amount of public anger just to miraculously topple a corrupt, authoritarian, racist oligarchy of more than 60 years. Pretty much everything Trump has accused Democrats of doing happened in my country, and it will happen in America too if the Supreme Court is packed. The complete absence of an independent judiciary never ends well for ordinary people. Hong Kong is now going the same way.
Trump's only saving grace would be if his surrogates in Georgia win the runoffs next month and avert such an existential threat to democracy. I had no idea there could be more than nine justices. I thought the Constitution expressly forbade that. A Republican-controlled Senate is all that stands between democracy and tyranny if Biden and the Democrats push ahead with this insane idea. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue have to win at all costs.
Those who loudly and openly advocate for court-packing, such as AOC, are the real threat to democracy. They are doing this purely to spite the millions of Americans who had the temerity and the sheer audacity to vote for the "wrong" candidate in 2016 and 2020. It's absolutely vindictive and petty. Not to mention the proposal to draw up lists of names of suspected Trump supporters such as myself, or send Antifa Blackshirts to physically intimidate and assault Trump supporters in the streets while chanting Black Lives Matter just as communist Whiteshirts have assaulted peaceful protesters and commuters in Hong Kong on multiple occasions and gotten away with it.
AOC and her far-left ilk and woke enablers seek to turn America into another totalitarian, communist-ruled Hong Kong. They will initially pretend to be the champions of the oppressed, the sworn enemies of systemic and entrenched injustice, and the torchbearers of "real" freedom and democracy, only to renege on their false promises the moment they're in power. The moment they taste real power, they will rapidly lose interest in "defunding the police". They will be even more pro-police and pro-law & order than Trump has ever been.
The moment moderate centrist Joe Biden and his ultra-woke, feminist, virtue-signaling, IdPol, SJW running mate Kamala Harris have outlived their usefulness, they will do everything in their power to replace him with someone more closely aligned with their far-left ideals. They will seek to purge moderate, neoliberal Democrats from the Party just like Hitler decapitated the Strasserist faction from the Nazi Party in the Night of the Long Knives and proclaimed himself Fuhrer. They will go on to seize absolute control of every aspect of American life and relinquish none of it. It always ends the same way with these crypto-communists. Always. No exceptions.
These communists seek to burn the West down and democracy along with it.

Communism is an insidious, universal threat both to freedom and democracy as well as other, more conservative, centuries-old cultures and traditions, and requires a global, coordinated response from a coalition of classical liberals and liberal conservatives who cherish everything the West stands for.

Now it wouldn’t say that modification of 230 wouldn’t do anything. Quite the opposite. You could definitely keep the part about liability there but demand that overt censorship stop unless it is an illegal act.

The number of justices is not set in the US Constitution, and has fluctuated over time.
The Court originally consisted of six justices - the Chief Justice and five associate justices. Initial custom was for the number of justices to reflect the number of judicial circuits in the United States. So the number of justices grew with the number of circuits; to seven in 1807, nine in 1837, and then ten in 1863. An attempt was made in 1866 to reduce the number of justices to seven by not replacing retiring justices, but shortly after it was reduced to eight justices, Congress then increased the number back up to nine in 1869. The size of the Court has remained unchanged since; the last serious attempt to change its size was under Franklin Roosevelt, when he introduced proposals in 1937 that could have increased the Court up to 15, depending on the number of justices over the age of 70 who decided not to retire.
Anyway, short version is that it's Congress that sets the size of the Supreme Court, not the US Constitution, and the number of justices fluctuated regularly between the ratification of the Constitution and 1869.
Any Originalist would presumably therefore be fine with Congress deciding to change the size of the Court again given that it was the clear intent of the Founders that this power should reside with the Legislative Branch. Were the original custom followed of keeping the number of justices in line with the number of judicial circuits, then the Supreme Court should be increased to 11 justices (excluding the District of Columbia Circuit and the Federal Circuit).

I hate to break it to you but there are biological differences there that don't go away for a very, very long time. It takes around 10-15 years for the effects of heightened levels of testosterone to disappear from the skeletal muscles. It'd take me a few minutes do dig up the links, and they were done on former AAS users, but the concept still applies. It's actually a great comparison, probably similar to a woman being on AAS. While a male starting AAS typically does 500 mg per week, a woman is probably going to be closer to 3-6 mg per day if she's using actual T. Men generate 6 mg, on average, daily. So at the most, a women doing steroids has the testosterone levels of a natural guy.
(point being, above, that the effect of having more testosterone through AAS lasts for 10-15 years, and that only women on the highest recommended dosages of test when using AAS even get to a natural man's test production)More commonly used for women is anavar at 5-10 mg every day, but again at much lower ranges than what a man would take(50 mg daily). Anavar, like any anabolic, causes the 10-15 year competitive advantages I described above
(It has to do with the half-lives of the myonuclei in the muscles and how long they last for. Basically, going to the dark side and juicing up will give you a competitive advantage for 10-15 years after you stop using, barring other side effects of AAS)
Your speculation about trans women competing in sports effectively being on anabolic steroids relative to cis women is fascinating, not least because these conversations seem to always revolve around trans women competing against cis women and never trans men, non-binary people, or intersex people, but it's thoroughly irrelevant. Trans women already compete against cis women in a variety of sports. If they have such a huge advantage then instead of talking about athletes taking steroids, show us all the trans women dominating every women's sport they're allowed to compete in.
Further, we're talking about children's school sports here. Do you remember being a teenager? When I was 13 a bunch of girls in my class were head and shoulders taller than me and most of the other boys. By the time I was 18 I was taller than them. Would you say that I actually had an advantage in sports the whole time? Over people who were significantly taller, faster, and probably stronger than me?
Having separate categories for trans men and women is a decent and maybe the best solution, but it would be difficult to implement due to sheer numbers, distance, mileage, etc. However, based on how smaller schools allow their students to participate in other schools' sports if they don't sponsor that sport, perhaps either a club system could be established or certain schools could pool together to make their teams. Difficult, but certainly not impossible.
So effectively ban trans people from school sports. Cool.
But if you're arguing that trans women can fairly participate in women's sports, consider that there's a reason most sports are separated in the first place.
Conservative social beliefs around the physical inferiority of women to men.
What, did you think it was based on science? Broad trends in men being stronger than women in certain respects are just that, broad trends. That doesn't translate to it always being unfair for men to compete against women in every sport. Not every sport is a simple competition of muscular strength, and even when they are, there are plenty of women who are stronger than a lot of men.
As much of a hot-button this issue is, reality can't be ignored. Beyond that, most trans women aren't able to succeed in getting T levels to that of a normal female range.
Only the highest suppressing quartile of trans women successfully suppress their testosterone levels to normal ranges. The next quartile are almost always below male ranges, but not at female ranges. One quartile failed to achieve significant suppression of testosterone
And again, 10-15 years before the effects of heightened testosterone are gone.
Levels of T in Men, Women, Trans WomenSex average range
Male 270-1070 ng/dL
Female 15-70 ng/dL
Trans Female
Ridiculous difference, right?
What difference? You haven't put any average range for trans women. And even if you did, it's absurd to suggest that fairness in sports is a simple function of average ranges of testosterone. And again, trans women do compete against cis women. Trans women are allowed to compete in women's events in the Olympics. Instead of talking about the amount of testosterone in their blood, show me the medal tables that are full of trans women taking gold, silver, and bronze and leaving cis women in the dust. That would show a clear advantage.
My daughter would have qualified for the New England regionals in the 55-meter dash in Spring 2019, but instead, the top two spots went to biological boys who identify as girls. She lost her chance to compete and instead had to watch from the stands.
And track isn’t the only impacted sport. A biological male competing as a female powerlifter after undergoing 11 months of hormone replacement therapy set multiple world records in the women's category at a 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation competition in April. Just one month longer, and the athlete's hormone therapy regimen would have been considered complete...
In 2014, a transgender athlete who was born male and underwent sex reassignment surgery competed in a female mixed martial arts competition. Not only was opponent Tamikka Brents tko'd (a technical knockout), she was left with a concussion and a broken skull. Biological males are even beating out biological females for qualification to compete in female-only Olympic competitions.
It's not fair but it's true. So the issue of a level playing field is probably where whoever you were talking about is coming from. Because what we're looking at is that 1/4 of trans women would have no competitive advantage 10 years after achieving steady suppression. But that isn't practical, obviously
Like I said though, an argument can be made that in the interest of inclusivity, trans women should be allowed to participate in women's sports at the cost of the other women involved. My take on this is that it would be much more practical for team sports (i.e. basketball or volleyball) than it would be for an individual (wrestling), because in a team sport very rarely is one athlete going to be able to do it all. But I can see where you're coming from in that sense.
I don't know why you think you can see where I'm coming from when talking about something you said, not me.
[/quote]Now, here's a more fringe argument that I find intriguing (but not one I particularly agree with): Some men have a shitload more testosterone than others. I can dig up this link to, but a dude that got busted for getting steroids to Olympic athletes without getting caught for years legitimately thought he was promoting fairness in the sport. So maybe the dividing line should be based off of T levels? Just a thought.
Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps owes his success in part to a quirk of his biology. His body naturally produces less lactic acid than most other people. Lactic acid build-up is what causes your muscles to hurt after prolonged use, and Phelps just doesn't experience that as much as other people. This advantage has nothing to do with the amount of testosterone in his blood.
TLDR: Trans women cannot participate in women's sports, on a level playing field, in a practical time frame based on our current medicines and whatnot. An argument can, however, be made that they should be allowed to participate based for the sake of conclusiveness. An alternative, if radical and perhaps impossible, solution might be to separate sports based on testosterone levels rather than gender.
edit: for a second disclaimer, I know way more about AAS than I should.
Trans women do compete in women's sports. The advantages that you claim they have should bear out in the results of actual competitions rather than just blood tests.
Karolinksa Institute in Sweden also conducted research that suggested testosterone suppression for transgender women has little effect on reducing muscle strength.
McKinnon won her qualifying race in 11.649 seconds - a record in the female 35-39 sprint category - with American Dawn Orwick second in 12.063.
At the 1988 Olympics, Florence Griffith-Joyner established a women’s record of 10.49 seconds in the 100-meter dash that no one has come close to touching ever since (in fact, there are unfounded suspicions that she was using a performance-enhancing drug).
Her epic sprint was ho-hum for a male. According to the International Association of Athletics Federations, there were 15 men in the United States whose best time was 10.49 in the 100-meter in 2018, and they were merely tied for 217th fastest last year.
