  1. I never knew Susan Collins posted here. Welcome, Senator.
  2. He had objections to the producers and show runners about the lies. If he had said the same thing in a call instead of texts/emails, I bet he still has a job. Alternatively just him publicly outed as ready to move on from Trump was also probably bad for the brand
  3. Changing the formation, away, and in a game of that magnitude looks really dumb
  4. Everything is back to normal like before the loser TX judge made an insane ruling- at least until appeals at the 5th Circuit and SCOTUS are over.
  5. Did that article say the fine was $500?
  6. Did he muck or did you see what he played with? He obviously had a big range.
  7. Probably never should have been hired in the first place
  8. “Cook anything you want that tells a story and eats without utensils” and Canadian guy cooks molé with chicken thighs he makes on the stovetop?
  9. How’s the business on paper, though? Is it booming?
  10. This is what I’m assuming
  11. Best episode of the season so far
  12. Now that I think about it- You’re right. I’m sure there’s an issue that would let SCOTUS grant cert based on a first amendment issue. It’s *just* like this case you learned about in law school
  13. You’re not wrong, but failing to communicate an immunity offer in a criminal case/investigation is about as egregious as commingling client funds (which is one offense they actually do disbar attorneys for)
  14. Give me a fucking break. Republicans voted to keep a senile senator on an important committee only because she’s incapable of showing up to work. That’s a shitty move. I’m not saying Dems are blameless but it’s amazing that people just assume GOP will be soulless assholes who only care about power
  15. “Money is accountability," said Stephen Shackelford, Jr., the attorney scheduled to give opening statements for Dominion on Tuesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna80285
  16. Ahem, the defense paid 12.5 million *less* than half the 1.6 billion in claimed damages. “I’ve got great news, Rupert. We can be done for less than half the claim.” “How much less?” “It doesn’t matter, it’s the best we’re going to get- and it’s not the full $800million”. Cigars all around
  17. just run the one Southpark does then? lol
  18. This is probably true, but in I’m also willing to bet they’ve been working towards a deal since at least Friday- especially in light of yesterday’s delay. I think the timing of waiting until just before opening statements means Fox was scared of just those being blasted worldwide
  19. No, it shouldn’t be
  20. Settled?! lol Fox didn’t even allow for opening statements. I wonder how much they paid
  21. Yeah- my understanding is the question for the special master isn’t whether there will be sanctions, but rather what/how severe the sanctions will be.
  22. The longer the delay goes on, the more that seems likely to me. I can’t imagine a routine objection taking this long. Alternatively did the court go through with appointing a special master to recommend sanctions? I wonder if this break could be related to that
  23. I’m not being pedantic, sorry if the tone was weird. You’re not picking up the nuance. NYT v Sullivan was granted cert because the freedom of the press allows a news organization to report on what someone else said. For example if Fox could be sued under Delaware law for simply reporting “Trump said X”. That’s not what the Delaware law provides- instead the law is consistent with the first amendment and requires a finding of actual malice, where the Alabama case didn’t. Look I know this SCOTUS doesn’t respect precedent but there’s no first amendment claim here because Delaware’s defamation laws permitting suits against news organizations are not out of bounds. It’s not just because there’s a potential verdict for liability that could give grounds for SCOTUS review. Nothing is impossible but SCOTUS review of a verdict would be stunning. Just trying to help here but I/you got in the weeds. I’ve briefed/argued as lead attorney in federal circuit and district courts over a lot of years, so I’m not completely talking out of my ass.
