  1. I confess I don't understand civil law in this area at all. The district court ruling was a full ruling by a panel of 3 on the merits after a hearing that lasted more than a week. How does the one judge (presumably it comes to Alito for the emergency petition because he's over the Fifth Circuit?) have the ability to overturn a merits ruling, even "temporarily" when this is not at the injunction stage? Is this a Purcell vs. Equal Protection question (as far as which one governs) and what is the legal standard used here to block a ruling for the losing party's benefit... when there hasn't even been briefing from both parties yet? Seems like bullshit
  2. Nice job, Pitchbot. "Scientific orthodoxy", i.e. "FACTS"
  3. Think that was after my time there... I was around 2001 through 2003
  4. It goes straight to Scotus from what I've read.
  5. I worked under (next to? over?) then-AG Abbott for 2 or 3 years making rulings on open records requests. It was kind of fun getting to see a bunch of stuff that gov't agencies didn't want people to see. It's interesting that our state supreme court believed it had authority to broaden the Public Information Act, which is entirely a legislative creation. Something something judicial activism
  6. "del Moral Mealer." GOD! This idiotic fucking name makes me ANGRY
  7. I'll try to make this as short as possible. In our Austin house, we've heard children's voices, that intense feeling of air being displaced as someone walks right behind you, loud footsteps, and other manifestations in our house for years. Including seeing dirty, child-sized handprints on the ceiling on our tiny square attic crawlspace door that has no pull-down ladder or anything. Other stuff I won't even say because it sounds absurd if you hadn't witnessed it. To the extent we'd joke about it with each other, because we never really felt threatened... but it was undeniable. Even asked neighbors about the history of the house. At some point, my spouse randomly told me, without connecting things apparently, "have I ever told you the background of this painting?" We have this awesome abstract painting spouse bought a couple of years before we moved in together. It seems to be a pregnant figure rising up out of dark water, almost kind of angelic or supernatural. Spouse bought this direct from the artist who lived in Austin at the time, and would google her every once in a while to see what work she'd done/what she was up to. The artist moved away and then... the last time spouse googled her, came up with this: https://www.vtcng.com/stowereporter/archives/wolcott-family-deaths-ruled-murders-suicide/article_9a0fa235-b9c0-5ed3-9bd7-e9e634380baf.html I'm just like... we have little kid ghosts in the house, you never thought to tell me that?? Can a painting be a portal, I don't know... but it's sad and creepy. We love our ghosts though, they are family.
  8. Right. It's giving "Fraud Guarantee" vibes.
  9. I think Abbott's statement is meant to convey that attendees will be surveilled and doxxed, whether this will actually happen or not
  10. I am quite confident the "BiDeN CrImE FamiLY!!" anti-corruption crusaders will be all over this.
  11. Amazing job with the Laura Loomer costume --- damn she scary
  12. No, no, it's because he wasn't "grateful" enough! To the country that so generously allowed him to be in that position! Not racist at all.....
  13. that kinda thing seems to be all the rage these days
  14. Picturing it like that scene where all the international assassins in disguise are bumbling around trying to kill Detective Clouseau.
