    Yup, it's not illegal to visit during dead period if a transfer signs financial aid papers before visiting. 

    And those papers don't bind the recruit to the school (unlike an NLI for high school recruits) and the transfer can back out any time (to go international or play for another school). 

    We had a Harvard PG commit to Aston with the financial aid papers who then backed out when Vic was hired. No penalty for either. 

  2. Yeah....he's the clear #1 guy at PG if he says yes.  Especially since Askew is only an 18-year old second year college player.  Our guard/wing depth is fine but we don't have anyone as good as Carr to run point. 

    Askew: 6.5 points, 2.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 34.5% FG, 27.8% 3P, 80.6% FT 
    Carr: 19.4 points, 4.9 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 turnovers, 38.5% FG, 31.7% 3P, 79.9% FT

    It's not even questionable.  Dude was averaging 6.7 apg the year before last.

    A lot of the bullshit has been culled out of the election bill thankfully. The poll watcher crap is still bad, there can be no temporary/portable structures used as poll locations (why?) and another huge issue is the "vote harvesting" section is super vague. I bought people donuts who then went and handed out literature and asked voters to vote for me. Arguably under this bill, that makes us all felons. 

    Tahoe? (jk)

    I just don't get this.. My son (15) is currently on the DL w/ a sprained ankle from 7v7... He goes to football practice every day in shorts and a hoodie.. It's like a 1,000 degrees out and he's out there in his hoodie. All his friends are as well.. ? wtf. 

    My 30-something year old friend landed in Cabo last Friday in a hoodie and sweats.  He refused to take the hoodie off until we got to the house, which also included a stop at Costco.  It was only 87 degrees and blazing sun.

    Her political beliefs suck, but she's at least a true American and it's hard to not love her right now. 

    Ew, no.

    She's still a horrible human being who threw her sister under the bus for her Senate seat.

    The bar is just LOW.

    I don't love Liz - I tolerate Liz.

    That alternate scenario would involve no drama. 

    It's alternative reality to pretend Democrats would lose their mind when *checks notes* no one stormed the Capitol or discussed a coup when Gore won the popular vote and lost the presidency, or when Kerry lost to Bush due to irregularities in Ohio or when Hillary destroyed Trump in the popular vote but lost the electoral college.

    In the alternate scenario, if those who recall, future POTUS Joe Biden explicitly shut down any Dem objections to the counting of the electoral votes that made Trump president because peaceful transfer of power.

    According to Abbott they are really bilking Texas taxpayers for this trip. I’m sure their $7200 salary for the 2021 session is going to go so far in DC 🙄

    Its all funded by donations. Abbott is just confused it’s not being funneled into a grifter’s bank account somehow

    The conclusion that he basically does what Roberts wants isn't wrong, but using how often someone voted with someone else is just a really bad way to evaluate a justice or the Court overall and I'm going to point that out every time it's done. Not saying you're doing this, but too many people are using this last term and arguments like this to claim that the Court is actually carefully moderating and not veering sharply to the right, and it's nonsense.

    Oh 100% nonsense - the court is not moderating and it's not a 3-3-3 court.

    It's still 6-3, with the occasional bone being thrown to the liberals by Roberts and Kavanaugh, but not much.

    I will say this about Kavanuagh: despite his clear lack of an appropriate judicial temperament, despite his explicit vow to seek revenge against Democrats, and despite the fact that he's already shown himself to be a shitty justice simply in terms of the quality of his thought in his written opinions, thanks to his desperate need to be liked by the "respectable" country club crowd, he's not nearly as shitty for America and the world as Sam Alito is.

    He also basically just followed Roberts around like a puppy. He shifted a miniscule amount to the left and Roberts shifted a miniscule amount the right to where they were almost on top of each other in the ideological spectrum of the 2020 court.  He and Roberts were in agreement 91% of the time

    Yeah, I hereby clearly admit that I was wrong.  I completely spaced on the Meiers nomination because I am stupid.  My Brett comments were merely that this continued, "every justice who doesn't vote in lockstep with my beliefs is a fucking idiot" is ridiculous.  Last I checked, it was 6-3 with Breyer thinking he's gonna live forever.  Obviously there have been bad nominations, bad justices, bad rulings, bad everything.  It's a 250 year old court with 9 people on it, and hundreds more failed nominees.  It's gonna have fuckups.  I made a fuckup.  But my macro point still stands, keep bitching and moaning about how stupid Kavanaugh is, how evil Thomas is, how corrupted Roberts is.  See what happens.  Breyer should have already announced his retirement.  The GOP bench at the federal level is as deep the Alabama offense.  Also, I was wrong about Meirs.  Neg rep me for the rest of the day, I was wrong.  I admit, I was wrong.  

    Anyway, Brett is a Supreme Court Justice.  Many of them come from a frighteningly similar background.  On both sides of the aisle/dais.  But this constant "everybody who is not Ginsberg is a fucking moron" is just not serving y'all well.  I am reminded of something Justice Kennedy once said to our law class, "We're not apolitical because of the constitution.  We're apolitical because of the people in politics."  

    Ooh I'm so scared.

    How long would they need to stay away before courts redraw the lines?

    Probably for a long time.  The last day the LRB can meet to draw maps (if the legislature fails) is October 28, 2021. 

    They don't have to stay away the whole time.  Just each time Abbott calls a special session, assuming the Republicans eventually adjourn the current special at some point instead of just sitting around chilling.

    I don't get it.  Miers wasn't well educated?  Is dumb?  Miers was well accomplished with top flight law firms and clerkships?  I don't get it.  

    Might be time to stop playing "every potential justice we don't like is stupid according rules we've just made up" and get your big kid pants on, the Judiciary is only going to be the stable voice of reason for another couple years.  Then that's the next ship to burn.  

    See below your post. Her nomination was an embarrassment.
