  • To piggyback on another comment. Massage. I’m a massage therapist who sees clients with disk issues all the time.

    99% of the time it’s because of shortened hip flexors (your psoas attached to your bottom vertebrae and as it shortens, is too tight to let your spine stretch which then just crushes your disks) due to both extended time in a seated position as well as a weak core. Stretch, get a massage, find a PT to help with chronic back pain. Start doing crunches before bed.

    Also drink more water. Only kinda related but basically everyone should be drinking more water.




  • We do, supreme judicial authority is given to the SC in article 3 of the Constitution. This person you’re replying to isn’t being very clear that the explicit power to overturn laws was established in Marbury v Madison.

    This power is called Judicial Review and it was understood to be the way the SC is supposed to work. A Federalist power grab by John Adams forced the SC to be explicit and say “we can overturn laws because that’s the only way the SC is coequal to the other branches”.

    In other words, Judicial Review was always an IMPLIED POWER of the court, but a court case made them spell it out.
