What does the fact that I live in an area where Rangers (and Astros) games are blacked out say about my knowledge of the sport?
Though on further consideration, I probably did see him a few times in the two ALDS series against Toronto.
But for the part of his body that grossly departed from his path in an effort to hit another player, he didn’t change his path? That’s your argument? I don’t give a shit about Odor as a person or a player. I’m not sure I’ve even seen Odor take a single at bat in my life so I really have no opinion of him at all other than he sucks for fantasy purposes. Sounds a lot like you’re the one with a bias here.
He changed his path to the bag for the purpose of initiating contact with the fielder. I don’t know what the fuck a “legit baseball play” means but it’s certainly not within the rules.
Yes, that's exactly what he's supposed to do. If you can't perform well enough to win the game by following the rules and not jeopardizing another player's safety, then you need to just take the loss and move on.
One purpose those numerous writers served was to correctly report the number of reporters at A-Rod's press conference as "roughly 200" as opposed to "thousands."

I can't recall him opining on the rule in a non-Fourth Amendment case so I'm curious if he feels the same way about other exclusionary rule issues. Like, if the cops beat and torture a guy to get a confession, does he believe the confession should be admissible and the person's only remedy is a civil action against the state?
Of course, Thomas would toss such a civil action on the basis of qualified immunity if suing the cops individually or under Monell if suing the governmental entity. See, e.g., Connick v. Thompson.
I need to read this. Does he really want to overturn Mapp? That is terrifying. He’s been an outspoken opponent of the exclusionary rule for a long time.
Of course they would have been looking for Paige. Aderholt told Stan they had people on Henry and they had people on Paige’s apartment. Until they had confirmation she wasn’t with her parents, they obviously would have considered she could be.
Are there any states in Mexico that require a birth certificate to obtain said ID but refuse to issue birth certificates to people who are born the wrong color?
While the effect was mindfucking Stan and almost certainly ending his marriage regardless of the truth, I read that as an act of friendship by Philip, not spycraft.
Same, and I would have been good with that assuming there was evidence the burgers aren’t 1/4 pound pre-cooked. I admittedly know jack shit about Florida unjust enrichment law so maybe there’s some precedent to support this but it seems ridiculous.
Courts have held that prosecutors are political positions as they’re entrusted to make decisions to carry out the political agenda of the elected DA. Aucoin v. Haney, 306 F.3d 268 (5th Cir. 2002). Public defenders on the other hand are protected because their duty is to represent the individual defendant before them rather than any broad policy position. Branti v. Finkel, 445 U.S. 507 (1980).
Yeah, it’s just a first amendment case. If your employer isn’t the government, they can fire you for your political comments (although some states have laws prohibiting that I believe).
If the allegations in the complaint are true and she was fired for private Facebook posts made by her criticizing GOP officials, she has a great case. As an administrative assistant, she’s a non-political employee. Her speech was in her private capacity. And the speech was on a matter of public concern. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/05/23/lawsuit-claims-republican-judge-fired-secretary-social-media-posts-sup/
Because it's not just a matter of self-identifying but also of being treated for gender dysphoria and taking testosterone suppressants for at least one year.
