How Fox News works
I did not take federal courts but I did take Prof. Rabban's First Amendment class at UT. How did the U.S. Supreme Court have jurisdiction to reverse the Alabama state trial court's verdict based on the First Amendment in NYT v. Sullivan?

How Fox News works
Wouldn’t the First Amendment defense be one of a few possible federal questions that the Supreme Court could rule on after the state appeals have been exhausted?

How Fox News works
Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I have zero federal appellate experience. If a jury makes a finding of actual malice, and this case gets appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on a federal question, is there any way for the U.S. Supreme Court to disturb that jury finding? Also, could Fox have removed this case to federal court? If so, then why didn't they?

What's surprising to me is how easily DeSantis appears to have been out-lawyered. Doesn't this make him objectively look like he doesn't know what he's doing?

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
Some people like using guns and they look for reasons to use them. Also, I don't know about New York, but in my experience an awful lot of Texans think that you can legally kill someone who is "trespassing" on your land.

Okay you PLO experts. Last night I played a live PLO hand, 8-handed, $1/$2 and we had agreed to three orbits with $5 mandatory straddle. I have about $500 and I'm the effective stack. I was invited to this home game and I don't know anybody in the hand but they all seem to know what they're doing. I'm in the straddle with QQJT, suited Q of diamonds. Early position min-opens to $10, Button calls, BB calls, I call. Flop is A-K-6 rainbow with 6 of diamonds. check, check, check, Button bets $30, which I view as strength. I call hoping to turn the nuts against a strong hand. Turn is a 6 of spades, so now K of spades and 6 of spades are on the board. I do not like this card and I check. Button also checks. River is Q of spades giving me a decent boat, but losing to quads, AAA66 and KKK66. I can get called with smaller boats and maybe a backdoor flush. Is this a mandatory value bet and fold to a raise? If so, how much should I bet? I did not bet because I am a nit. I checked, he bet $50, I call, and he shows A-x of spades for the nut flush. He also had a K, so he bet two-pair on the flop. He made this easy for me by only betting $50. If he pots it am I ever folding QQQ66? I think he bet the river thinking I'm betting all my full houses. What do you think of his play?- Let’s talk about how fucked up Tennessee is
This angers me. I grew up dirt fucking poor and without welfare I would have starved as a kid. It's simple economics -- food is cheap and the returns are high. I think these same motherfuckers would have wanted me to suffer from malnutrition. I'm 47 now and have paid god knows how much in taxes. It's been a pretty good ROI just from that standpoint.- Let’s talk about how fucked up Tennessee is
