The engine, transmission and rear-end are the "frame" on many, especially the old ones we were working on. So to change the clutch, which we were doing you need to split the tractor in half.

My dad did this several times with a couple of 1950's era Ford tractors.

Supreme Court Issues Terrible Shadow Docket Decision Lifting Injunction Against "Third Country" Deportations of Migrants Without Due Process
The ruling includes no analysis. Justice Sotomayor's dissent has a compelling explanation of why it is wrong.

From a Libertarian constitutional law expert. This was Alito and Thomas in their pure hate mode.

The non-Christian left telling Christians what they should or shouldn't believe or that they are or are not following their beliefs reminds me of white people calling black people 'Uncle Toms' (or perhaps, 'if you don't vote Dem you ain't black')

I can see why the left would want abortion complaints zipped. Better to not think about it. On the face of it, abortion on demand reeks of a selfish society, no better then leaving unwanted infants outside to die of exposure.

But so much more Christian than expecting would-be immigrants to come in legally.

Men telling women they must have a baby they do not want (for a wide variety of reasons) reeks of a controlling society.

Here's partial list of societies that are not selfish in your view:

Afghanistan
China
Iran
Iraq
North Korea
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Russia

There you are. Basic stuff that people like me who never hardly even touch tractors don't know. Indeed, example of an 'unknown unknown!'

Expecting everyone to show up legally? Imagine the legal door to be a strong steel portal in a blank concrete wall. A sign on the wall says the door opens for 1 minute every month, and refers readers to thousands of pages of regulations about getting through it. The other sign on the wall, in spray paint, says "JOBS JOBS,JOBS!" and there's a big red arrow pointing at a hole that's been made in the wall.

It sucks if you're denied. Bad reason to allow unfettered access though.

My neighbors at my last place were from India, they did it legally.

There's a pretty good vid on immigration numbers, I'll try to find it

Here's what I was thinking of

Hopefully fairly accurate but I make no guarantees
