  1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_switch_in_time_that_saved_nine Politically motivated or not, had the Court struck down the minimum wage law in that case, the 1937 Judiciary Act would have expanded the Court then.
  2. Also, the re-emergence of the Kremlin as the USA's primary foreign nemesis means that it's good to have an ardent Cold Warrior at the helm.
  3. I'm surprised that it's taken over 12 hours without this appearing here:
  4. Grandpa GR went ashore later in the day on D Day and sent arty at the krauts from Normandy to the Rhineland. Two Bronze Stars. Came home and never told a soul about anything. We had to read his DD214 to find that out. He's buried out at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.
  5. У Джона довгі вуса Протяжні ридання скрипок осені ранять моє серце одноманітною млістю.
  6. It's right up there with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Napoleon's march on Moscow.
  7. By an order of magnitude. They are the only fanbase I've run into where the ones that travel are assholes.
  8. Someday the mountain might get 'em, but the law never will. Oh, and obligatory:
  9. A lot of McCarthy's actions are based on McCarthy's assumption that there are not 218 votes to sustain a motion to vacate the chair.
  10. Yep, this is exactly like the run up to 2016. Given that A) Republican primaries are winner-take-all, and B) Trump is the only candidate that can consistently get 30% of the primary vote, in a 20-man battle royal, Trump wins all the delegates with 25 to 30 percent.
  11. And Doug MacArthur wouldn't dare land at Inchon.
  12. Had a motley bunch of scientists not been brought to the Philippines in the spring of 1991, the Philippines would be in the discussion for the overall #1 seed. "Volcano Cowboys" by Dick Thompson is an excellent read about the evolution of the USGS volcanology unit from St Helens to Pinatubo.
  13. I want to know how many takes it took to get this sequence without everyone cracking up.
  14. So this one is headed for OT?
  15. I'm not any of these, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
  16. Wounds my heart with a monotonous langour. There is a fire at the insurance agency. Molasses tomorrow will bring forth cognac. John has a long mustache. Clementine can pick his teeth. The elephant broke a defense. . . . _
  17. When Lester Holt tried to fact-check Trump in the first 2016 debate, Trump went through him like he wasn't even there. And that was before he got used to doing it from the Oval Office.
  18. Looking forward to this. I thought that David Byrne was playing Oppenheimer.
  19. Speaking of which, what's the phrase to listen for on the OSINT or the communique from Kyiv to say the invasion is under way? I'm a big fan of "У Джона довгі вуса."
