"Big" is in the eye of the beholder but Austin's MSA is bigger than those of Nashville, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, for reference.
Using MSA which is what you were using, it's a population of 2.5 million. Again, you can define "big" however you want, but having a larger population than several cities that are able to support multiple professional sports teams seems fine to call "big". You have different definitions of what a big city is. Fine. But it was not such an outrageous thing to say that it needed to be challenged lol jmo.
Classifies urban areas as large metropolitan areas with a population of 1.5 million or more, metropolitan areas with a population of 500,000–1.5 million, medium-sized urban areas with a population of 200,000–500,000, and small urban areas with a population of 50,000–200,000

Defines a large city as a territory within an urbanized area and a principal city with a population of 250,000 or more

Austin might be considered "big" by some in the American standard for a big city. On the international stage it would hardly register. The U.S. doesn't have a city in the top 10 of most populated cities in the world, but New York City comes in at 11, while Los Angeles comes in at 23. Chicago at 39. Houston at 61.
Supreme Court actually did a good job today giving a 9-0 verdict in the Mifepristone case.
Too bad Clarence Thomas gave an outline to how to successfully challenge the drug, and was immediately pounced on by multiple AGs
His inevitable death will be hilarious.
They throw us a bone every now and then. Wouldn't be surprised if the conservatives were fine giving in on this one cuz they know the ultimate plans of the Republicans to fuck over all sorts of birth control and abortion access if they gain power. So it's like ... Yeah this drug is fine.....they'll deal with it and more later.
Durbin: "We're all looking for the guy who (could do something about) this!"
Democrats are often useless but they have been trying to get an SC ethics bill passed, it's not them that's being useless on this issue
Durbin's the chair of the senate judiciary committee. He should be holding hearings every day about Thomas's ethics violations and both Thomas and Alito's conflicts of interest. These guys need to be put in the public spotlight as much as possible and held up to scrutiny under oath. That's what I'm referring to in calling him out specifically. It's absurd this hasn't happened.
The court rejected a ludicrous standing argument in the abortion pill case, they should not be commended for that. The 5th circuit and the district court judge who is a right wing wacko should be excoriated for their ignorant advancing of a case with no argument at all for standing. But don't worry, the Roberts two step made sure to let them know how to correctly challenge this. It'll come up in a year or two I'm sure.
The gun case yesterday can't be looked at as anything other than judicial activism, with the majority rewriting that statute that congress intended. In my day, I remember it was the conservatives who cried about judicial lawmaking. Add this to a long list of cases where the Roberts court, starting with Citizens United and chiefly including Shelby.
