At this point I'm convinced either Trump will win the election and get away with everything or the Reaper will finally come a'calling and he'll still get away with everything.

Saw that video. Just barbaric.

Yes, we do need training on how to deal with them verbally. Just because we can go hands on doesn't make that the best option, even if they're insufferable assholes. Physical force opens the door to injury to both suspect and officer, opens the door to potential civil suits, not to mention...

I'm hoping that enough damage has been caused this session that the democrats gain both houses and expand the court to 13. From there, we do exactly like the GOP and push cases to demand a SCOTUS review and walk this jive back from the cliff. I'm sure Thomas and Alito will be screaming bloody...

Pretty much. The state charges he's been found guilty of simply aren't effected at all by this ruling. Honestly, hiding the top secret papers shouldn't be either. But, his lawyers will continue to stall for the November miracle.

That's exactly it. And that was a big problem I had with the academy. We did several weeks of looking at the law, but it's not law school. It's not a deep dive. You get just enough info to go out there and really make a hash of it if you paid just enough attention to pass the tests. We...

Because that's not how it works. You can't just say "official capacity" and suddenly be immune.

There's been several cases, with video, of cops arresting people or saying they can't drive when they have canadian or mexican licenses. It's nothing but ignorance on the part of the officers. This is especially egregious if you're in a border state. I'd give some leeway to officers in, say...

another driver with a hand crank. I don't know why, but that bothers me a great deal.

Not a total victory for either side. And, frankly, more than I expected from this court.

Good news, with the Chevron decision net neutrality policy means nothing. There is no longer any enforcement method that doesn't involve massive legal cases. But, at the same time, that means that attempting to enforce ID laws online also have to jump through those hoops. no enforcement teeth...

I know why they're doing this. They think the SCOTUS case is in the bag with Alito and the other conservatives. But, I really don't think they've got it on this one. This is blatantly unconstitutional to the point where only Alito and Thomas will be able to make even the thinnest of...

Most people have no clue just how bad that Chevron decision is. Things are going to get very bad very quickly regardless of who is in office. This is, unquestionably, a horrid decision that destroys the status quo of America. I am not Paladin, I am not one to jump to a worst case scenario...

Yeah, no this is not the end of same sex marriage. While Sotomayor's dissent does mention that same sex couples, it is in reference to the difficulties they will face with multinational marriages where one spouse isn't allowed to enter America. The circumstances here are very specific and it...

Speaking as a kansan, with that historical dislike sown deep since childhood, no they really can't. Missouri (and I'll say this grudgingly) much like Kansas, has a few areas/cities where progress has been made. However, in between there are a ton of agriculture based towns that live in the...

No, it's not the attitude, it's the electoral college. Again, we're not talking about the rest of the ticket, where things matter. In presidential elections our votes mean nothing if we're not in a battleground state. California will always go blue, Kansas will always go red, that's the way...

And here's the thing. I live in Kansas. My vote means exactly jack jive in the presidential election. . . . . and after viewing the thread after this reply, I see I am late to the party. My bad.

Congrats on wasting your taxpayer money, Louisiana. I'm sure there wasn't anything that could be better spent on.

What I'm hearing is, "This is dumb, married people already get to stay". That's whats been going around the Kansas right wing circles.

I am genuinely curious as to why you think that.
