  1. Im just really skeptical that a bunch of D and EE width boots could really properly fit the vast majority of people.
  2. Not even when his lil eyes popped and his tongue came out?
  3. Federal is probably going to be a bit more formal than state, but anything you wear with a jacket would be fine most likely. Except this:
  4. Point of order, birthright citizenship arose under the 14th Amendment in about 1870, not the 1789 timeframe of the original Constitution and Bill of Rights.
  5. Well, the answer to all of this is that public education, in its best conception, is a social good. It's not a quid pro quo for your tax dollars. If you choose not to avail yourself of it, that's your choice. As it is your choice to send your kids to private school. It doesn't absolve you of the obligation to pay for the social good. If it isn't well funded enough that parents have to come out of pocket, that's a policy failure, not a choice (although the decision to help out is a choice).
  6. That's correct, but the question they're asking is one of interpretation of the 14th Amendment, and that is not going to be prospective in operation.
  7. No idea.
  8. I saw someone somewhere that said Dems have lost the ability to look like they're "having fun." In this case, "having fun" was used in a sense opposite to being a political pervert or wonk.
  9. When we speak of "Hearts in Atlantis," I assume we actually refer to "Low Men in Yellow Coats" rather than the eponymously named short story about card marathons and Carol Gerber and the other two stories touching on Bobby, which seem to be pretty remote from DT, AFAIK.
  10. Should I not have said that about the gyppos then? Or the pikeys?
  11. Tweeting is Trump's bully pulpit. It is how he communicates to the American public, to his people.
  12. You're never going to convince him of that. But, if you look at Project 2025 and what a lot of the serious scary religious government people have in mind it is clear that: the process of conception should not be interfered with, as God's plan; this will result in women staying barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen as It was for long periods of time; child care and even public education will become unnecessary; "family values" will flourish; and, best of all, women will be removed from the workforce (other than Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, of course) along with all the dirty coloreds (except for the menial jobs, of course). So, call it control of women or not, the above is their grail.
  13. Most private business premises are private property. However, those that don't own it, like employees and patrons, are "invitees" who are guests of the owners for certain purposes. A lot of businesses are open to invitees who just need to walk in the door. A business wouldn't have to change it's "character," but it would have to restrict those whom it invites or permits onto the premises. So, yeah, in that sense, a "private club," members only, with an invitation, etc. If a private business lets any member of the public enter, then officers can go there too. If it is restricted, then I believe they can deny entry to officers. If it's "public entry" for everyone but officers, that may be a little too cute. But, I think an owner is entitled to close up shop whenever they want.
  14. That is correct. The ordinary immigration warrant does not entitle officers to enter onto private property to execute the warrant/arrest. Both "judicial warrants," those in compliance with the 4th Amendment and that permit entry onto private property and seizure of private property, and "administrative warrants" are issued on the basis of probable cause. However, a judicial warrant is issued on a peace officer's sworn affidavit or sworn testimony before a judge, or a magistrate appointed by a judge, so the showing is a bit more rigorous.
  15. Ronald Reagan never met Larry Lacerte.
  16. Some of us are having a lot more trouble letting go of a fraudulent political party than others, and admitting how long it has been fraudulent.
  17. Imagine doing that with celestial navigation and no digital computers.
  18. And he's gonna explode the goddamn deficit. And, if you didn't know that already, he'd be happy to tell you, repeatedly.
  19. Yes, and most administrations leave it to Hollywood for all the glory guts bullshit.
  20. That's one of the most cockamamie lawsuits I have ever seen in my life. Makes some of Trump's efforts look sane and grounded. They're suing all defendants in their individual capacities, alone, for violating their civil rights under color of law in violation of 1983.
  21. Well, if it had huge object insertions . . . .
  22. My CHURCH did that when I was in 7th grade.
  23. The whole cult is nonce words. And nonces.
  24. Quite possible, but you'd think the vehicle for that might be a call to Roberts or a letter.
