The 18 year old who stabbed four people at UC Merced left behind a detailed plan. He did it because he was angry about being kicked out of a study group. His master plan was to zip cuff students in a classroom to desks, wait for the police, and spray petroleum jelly on the ground so they would slip and fall and he would take their guns and shoot everyone.

The worst part is that anyone could carry out this sort of plan

Ok, now this is where the Carson story could get legs, because attacking Clinton's story would be really loving dumb when it could easily be countered with Carson's. Carson's, on its own, is nothing but it would be put in the spotlight if Clinton was attacked.

I'm reading the rest of this now, it's pretty sick. He put a nail on some stairs, attached a curling iron to the doorknob, had a really complicated paint can rig that he was going to swing at the cops, and if they chased him to the boiler room, he apparently had a blowtorch above the door that would fire upon opening

Man, this story really gets me in the 'In my day...' old mentality (and I'm 31). You get kicked out of a study group...and your response is to stab people. Also apparently your favorite movie somehow was Home Alone because you've come up with dumbest loving plan to get your revenge.

Right now in Indiana the business wing and the social conservative wing of the republican party are at loggerheads. When the Indiana legislature looked like it was going to pass a religious freedom bill that would allow backdoor discrimination of LGBT's businesses freaked out about lost sales and LGBT workers leaving for better states. They used the national outrage generated to get the state legislature to rewrite the law. That wasn't enough however and now the state Chamber of Commerce is calling for lawmakers and Republican Gov. Mike Pence to expand state civil rights laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity during the coming legislative session.

If you're not familiar with the area Coon Rapids is a north metro suburb of the Twin Cities which is directly adjacent to 6th congressional district that elected Michelle Bachmann and Tom Emmer (it's actually in the 3rd district, which also elected a Republican, just not one as extreme as those). It's also part of the Anoka-Hennepin school district that had a rash of LGBT suicides a few years ago caused by a district policy preventing teachers and staff from intervening in bullying on the basis of sexual orientation.

Statistically the next one to die will be Ginsburg, and you'll never get a replacement as liberal as her, so the court's next ideological change will actually be to become more conservative.

I have long maintained that Scalia will survive through even a hypothetical two-term Hillary presidency. I think he'll be 90 in 2024, that's doable.

e: due to the whole Sandra Day O'Connor situation I doubt any of the current justices will leave until they are dead.
