New York to mandate zero-emission vehicles in 2035

Fine by me, I'll be dead by then and my heirs will have to deal with my manual transmission, carborated, manual choke MG Midget.

[Perikuresu]

only in america do you get completely partial judges that are not fired.

Federal judges can't be fired. They can only be removed via impeachment by Congress.

Imagine not making it mandatory that judges have to retire when they're 70

In this country, it almost certain to have massive loopholes or get watered down at a later date.

We need to follow Australia.

We have politicians who are literally downing lots of dementia medications so it does not surprise me that a proposal for an age limit would be dead on arrival. Many people (especially boomers), would rather die in office than retire, so they don't give up power.

It wouldn't matter, biased judges aren't biased because they're old.

[Axiomatix]

There isn’t one. They came up with that out of desperation.

Obviously, but we live in such a post-modern era that far too many of the American people seem to think there is one.

The worst part is that we can hardly tell those who are truly deranged from those exercising scintillating wit now.

Age limits on holding office is a very clear example of going after the symptom instead of the problem. If you had a better selection process then new faces would be brought in naturally.

If it serves a narrative that has large political backing, it becomes "on par" with the truth.

Post truth politics are the best politics.

Which is why Australia also has an independent body that elects the High Court judges rather than having the President choosing whoever he wants and getting the Senate to have their inputs

According to what I could find, High Court judges in Australia are nominated by the Prime Minister, and then appointed by the Governor-General. Neither of those people seem to be independent.

So, there is no such thing as judicial activism, ether left wing or right wing?

I'm not certain how that leap happened.

In this country, it almost certain to have massive loopholes or get watered down at a later date.

Even if it doesn't it would take half a century if every new car bought replaced an ICE car to replace all the ICE cars. Most of the people who flood the facebook pages with boomer memes about EV cars and the change will be long long dead by the time the ICE car goes away entirely. If it actually does.

Well, eventually it will one way or another.

How does that body work?

[Kannap]

You really have to love this era.

The sad part is that is probably going to get so much worse.

Obligatory

[Shrillland]

So is green energy.

uh our colors are red white and blue

And we can see them all clearer without all that smoke bellowing from the power plants, refineries and factories.

Id love to have all zero emission cars tomorrow but it simply cannot be done.

Uh, our pledge ends in "liberty and justice for all." "All" includes other forms of life in the environment. They need justice too, and the way of achieving that is going somewhat green.
