i know i’m not the first to make this comparison, but everytime another one of these embarrassing misstatements comes out, i remember the dean scream
so, start with:
x = 0.999…
now multiply each side by 10
10x = 9.9999…
now we subtract x from the left side, and 0.999… from the right, which is fine because they are equal:
9x = 9
and from there it should be fairly obvious that x is also equal to 1, which means 0.999… is also equal to 1

ah yes, the “i don’t want you to know how much this is astroturfed” protests, against the “we want to know how much astroturf is there” law.
“you can maybe criticize our ally, but only if you give an equal amount of time, or maybe a bit more, to criticizing their enemies”
i mean, the way the supreme court has operated historically (and especially in the last few years) means they can delete basically any law they don’t like, but you are correct that the decriminalisation of homosexuality is only based on a court verdict. many states never removed the relevant laws from their books, so they could in theory be enforced again if the court changes their precedent.
