Ulysses S. Grant's feelings on this exact issue are not open to debate. He wrote them down. It's in Chapter 67 of his Personal Memoirs. Robert E. Lee's "cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse."

Part of what makes Fox News so distressing is the incoherence. "The variant is fake, but Trump would already have a new vaccine for it, but vaccines don't work." Anyone who can accept all of those together—millions of Fox News viewers—is impervious to reason. They're in a cult.

@AlanDersh Statutory rape laws criminalize the perpetrator's conduct, not the victim's. Thus, the question is: does the adult perpetrator have a constitutional right to have sex with a minor? The victim's rights don't change the answer, which is and should be "absolutely not."

I've seen criticism of "like 10 people." The ten richest Americans are worth $730 billion. The fourteen richest American families (excluding the Koch brothers, so no double-counting) are worth $511 billion. Together, they're worth more than 60% of Americans combined.

If the NYPD is arresting so many people for curfew violations that judges can't get the arraignments done, the logical answer (and the one that respects people's rights) is to prohibit detention for curfew violations and to tell the NYPD to do a better job prioritizing arrests.
