  1. Interestingly enough, the most frequent rejections of plea agreement that I personally see are in various JP courts. Tickets, man.
  2. The difference that you note as being “political” is actually extremely significant LEGALLY as it relates to the standard of review and deference.
  3. That judge’s decision is hilarious. The Trump DOJ was not advocating equality for the whole law to be struck down. The holding is basically: “This law originally had a bunch of parts.” One of those parts is unconstitutional. Now, that part was recently removed in 2017 by duly enacted legislation which kept most of the other parts. HOWEVER, that part can’t be taken out so...because the ACA had the unconstitutional part many years ago, and I think you can’t take it out, now I’m striking down the new version altogether.” * Bonus point: THIS is what an activist ruling looks like.
  4. Technically, you are correct, but this RARELY happens. As in, hasn’t happened in any of my cases ever.
  5. Somewhat related: The newly hired first assistant DA is a piece of work. He says, openly, that “Gideon v Wainwright is probably the worts thing that’s ever happened to the United States. At least I won’t have to deal with him anymore in Bell County.
  6. A Blana storyline focused season would kick so much ass.
  7. Misspelled “judgment” but that’s a nice statement.
  8. I see positive reports/remarks on Trump frequently on CNN, and not just from his surrogates.
  9. THIS. Only deviation for me is that I use andouille from The Sausage Link, in Sulphur, LA. Also, someone asked about cornbread recipes. Basic cornbread with butter milk, flour, cornmeal, eggs is always great. The key part is the technique. My method for years now is to put about 1/4” of oil in the baking dish/cast iron skillet. Place that in the oven while it pre-heats and you make the batter. Once the oven is up to 400 degrees, take the hot ass oil pan out of the oven and dump the batter in. You get to fry AND bake it at the same time.
  10. Glad to the POTUS take time from his busy schedule to provide such insight and knowledge to the Chief Justice of SCOTUS.

    Get away with what?
  12. The HYPOTHETICAL "but Hillary!" Quite a remarkable gem there.
  13. Was Trump kneeling while trashing McRaven? No? Then I guess there’s no disrespecting the military happening then. Mouthbreathing hypocrites. Fuck all of them. Kneel during a SONG that isn’t actually some “military tribute”...ban from country. Flat out talk shit about real heroes...MAGA!!!
  14. About once/week, in TEXAS, I see a brand new fresh CPS case involving a newborn BABY testing positive for meth.
  15. I've been hearing this claim, and it seems like a plausible explanation for the discrepancy. Is there a good illustration of the ballot design issue anywhere?
  16. No one is claiming that it is really easy, or even easy at all. I'm not sure why you chose to quote a post, only to then not actually address said post.
  17. Narrator: "It wasn't boudin."
  18. Snowflake “death wish” wailing not going away.
  19. The horse collar rule you posted is correct. The only caveat, which I’m not sure makes a difference here, is that there is no “pocket” once the ball leaves said pocket.
  20. Yep. PJ Locke has got to be the worst offender.
  21. All I want is for the band to have an entrance into the stadium. The kids running on the field/the music that they played then has made it impossible to hear the drum line coming in, etc. I see no reason for this to not be changed back.
  22. If you are only going to use one TO, then I would agree with you. The other option is to burn all 3 of them, with the kicker kicking his attempt each time.
  23. There was no camera angle directly at the line to gain. If you want to use geometry to establish that he was short? Fine. I would like that same logic applied to the last Okie Lite TD. To overturn a spot, by the way, requires that you have indisputable evidence of where he correct spot should be.
  24. What’s wrong with trying to ice the kicker? Like, what’s the downside? While we are on the subject though, do the college rules still allow you to take multiple “icing” timeouts on the same attempt? If so, o don’t understand why you wouldn’t burn all 3. I’ve seen that shit work before on 40+ attempts because somehow, kickers get tired, I guess.
  25. Yep. Why isn’t Trump hammering the ever living fuck out of this point right now to below with the midterms. It’s a political slam dunk.
