It's the 5% that worries me -
For some background. To get an injunction, a court order to do or not do something, you generally have to prove the following: Likelihood of success on the merits, ie you're going to win at trial, most likely Irreparable harm, something that can't be fixed after the fact, as by an award of damages The public interest The harm of any injunction outweighs the harm of the action enjoined So, when considering a stay of an injunction, an appeals court reviews these things, often focusing mostly on the first two. The last two things tend to kind of merge, except in purely private lawsuits, like say a patent infringement case. When the party is the government, it tends to be rather assumed that what's at issue favors the public interest, that is, that what the government is doing is in the public interest and enjoining the government is not. But the last factor can undo that, as in the case of when the government is attempting something clearly or even marginally unconstitutional. The grant of injunctive relief by a trial court is usually "fact intensive," like Sara Ellis in Chicago finding Bovino and fICE to be full of shit, or in the redistricting case that Texas' motivation was more racial than political. Appeals courts and SCOTUS especially, should defer to the trial court's evaluation of factual issues, like credibility. Thus, the usual way to reverse (on full decision on the merits) or temporarily stay (shadow docket) is to find that the trial court applied the wrong law or misapplied correct law. The shadow docket is almost always reviewing an injunction and applying some form of the above analysis. Two places they have gone horrendously wrong in the pro-Trump orders are: when evaluating likelihood of success, they apply law they think they're going to make, not the law as it stands (and then they get mad at the lower courts for following the law as it stands without ever having given an opinion that changes the law or explains how the new law should be applied) their evaluation of the harm, like Kavanaugh's stops that ignore that people are imprisoned for days, weeks, or months on flimsy and unconstitutional premises From a sort of political science or governing perspective, changes in the law should come slowly or gradually especially when not made by the legislative branch. By doing the above, the Court is making abrupt changes in the law, or permitting the executive to do so, without due consideration for the status quo ante, the way things are, have mostly been, and in most cases should stay that way.

Everyone head on down to that building that has a bunch of food in it that you can take home with you if you give them money. A restaurant you say? Nope! It’s more like a big storeroom where you take home food and cook it yourself. They have all kinds of food…..what’s a good word for it……oh, after Jesus killed the dinosaurs and made it safe to walk around and shop they called them GROCERIES! Come get your groceries, now with even more accuracy! Accuracy is pouring out of these groceries!

Go to Tigerdroppings & search "Bigbopper". I think that's the guy's username iirc. SEC Rant is where you want to look over there. I'm not heading back to dig it up. Or just dust my post off. Either way works for me.

That is incorrect. Tech is 4-2.

Absolutely. The leaks are minor and I can get to both easily. Really wondering why the rear diff did not leak until I raised that side of the car to work on fuel sending unit. It's been a while since I took physics but I think I remember fluid running downhill and away from where the leak it Windshield is not difficult but will be a real pain. There are L shaped brackets in each corner with screws behind the chrome. Those screws haven't been touched since 1962 so getting them out is fun. And (since I did this to my glass in early 1980's) if you put them back in and tighten too much you will hear a nice crack which tells you to order a new piece of glass. It's about 1200 for glass and labor and Haggerty is paying for it

Their defense may suck, but there’s a 95% chance they play their game of the year today. -

Paying a coach who has never won shit when given good opportunities is hilarious. Good luck, Cajun. -
In a moment of weakness I posted something this year in the Astros-Rangers hate thread about their WS win being the flukiest in the last 20 years. So it's not quite 20 years since the 83 win Cardinals in 2006 but I'd call it the flukiest since then. A team full of guys on career years and it's their only above .500 season since 2016 (which had its own luck going with a 36-11! record in one run games).

Unless an upgrade is available, Debor/Lanning, with Lane all but signed at LSU. We may be stuck with Sark and short leash. Gives Herman’s last ride vibes if all this is the case.

My new thing is pro-SROs. My brother in undiagnosed mentally ill, living on the streets (in a car). I cant afford to rent him an apartment. But if a SRO were maybe $500/mo he wouldn't be on the street. And that, I believe, is better for everyone. Nobody wants an SRO around them - and I get that. So out it in some industrial zone with a bus stop.

I had a lot of family just up the road in Spur, but there are only a couple left now. Grandma grew up with Red McCombs there, and they dated in their youth. When she was still with us, I used to gently tease her about what might have been had she not dumped him and married my granddad. She was always quick to let me know that I wouldn't be around had she made that choice.
