I don't know, but I'm guessing if they can find an excuse to limit it to the top 10, top 8, or whatever, they will. It will probably depend on the network. I'm sure the undercard debate gets more viewers than whatever FBN or CNBC normally shows, but is it the same for CNN and Fox?

Republicans to court: "Invalidate net neutrality because we tried to pass a law restricting it, thus proving we never intended to let the FCC do so in 1996." Using legislative history to justify a court decision? IOKIYAR. Meanwhile, Chuck Grassley is blocking State Department nominees until they admit Hillary Clinton was a doo-doo head.

Fun fact: a subset of the net neutrality regulations are present in the TPP and would thus be unremovable if the treaty is ratified.

I'm not as well versed in how originalists like interpreting based on subsequent attempts like this though. I think they're more lenient, but it still relies on interpreting legislative intent, at least of subsequent laws.

FourLeaf posted:Those articles, especially the Mizzou one, articulate the problem really well. When activists show this kind of disgraceful behavior, it alienates people sympathetic to their cause, and opens them up wide for attack by their enemies. The Mizzou one is also pretty stupid. Some idiots who may not even be students yell a racial slur at a student and somebody paints a poo poo-swastika on a wall. It's pretty hard to investigate both of those, so what exactly was the school supposed to do about it? Reasonable actions, not the dumbass demands that actually got issued. Mizzou athletics is apparently a pretty organization, letting their players know they can bully the administration like that probably wasn't the best move. 30.5 Days posted:lol are you implying that the journalists here have been assaulted?

Casimir Radon posted:If a cop had done this to a journalist you'd be making GBS threads your pants over it and saying it was definitely assault. Police are agents of the state, college students protesting are not. Journalists are supposed to be adversarial with those in positions of authority, not people opposing authority. That whole "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" chestnut. The fact that so many in the media have apparently forgotten this distinction and treat college students who don't cooperate with them the way they should be treating Senators and crooked city councilmen is a big problem.

It's understandable that many activists are upset at media coverage, and that it manifests in very emotional ways when they're actually a part of the community, but it's at the very mildest a dick move to treat a dude like that for no cause. He handled himself very well and as far as I know he's been pretty clear that despite being obviously not thrilled that he got pushed around he doesn't want to get vengeful with them and wants it to drop. This is all entirely moot because even the people in the protest involved said 'yea that was hosed up we were in a bad place there and did a lovely thing' so I really don't know what all this hand wringing is supposed to do short of demanding public self-flagellation to atone for their Damaging The Movement (as figured by a dude on the internet who's never even been to Missouri but boy does he have opinions about the greater struggle, comrades)

Casimir Radon posted:The Yale one is basically idiots blowing up about hypothetical offensive Halloween costumes, never saw anything about actual costumes. A faculty member sends an email stating that maybe we could try actually talking to each other and perhaps learning from each other in college instead of instantly wrangling together a Twitter outrage mob at the first glance of a perceived slight. So they demand she and her husband be removed from their advisory posts, and probably lose their jobs. Cause who actually wants to learn anything in college? The one real issue here is the alleged racism from the sorority which I find pretty easy to believe could have taken place. However instead of letting Yale conduct an investigation they went and rolled it into the unwarranted harassing of a couple of innocent faculty members. Lol (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Casimir Radon posted:He wasn't being adversarial towards the students, or the stupid teacher. You idiots keep acting like he was there to pull some kind of James O'Keefe gotcha! poo poo. He's a student journalist who was probably only there because he was told to. He wasn't being particularly aggressive or adversarial, but he was going on about his first amendment rights, which had nothing to do with the situation at hand, since the people preventing him from taking pictures were not government officials or law enforcement. However all the other media types that have subsequently latched onto this story to bemoan the big bad college students oppressing that photographer are displaying exactly the attitude I described. For the record I think shoving the guy and calling for muscle and all that poo poo was wrong and stupid. I just think that all this weeping and concern trolling over the oppression of journalists by protestors is extremely problematic and indicates a fundamental problem with how some in the press view their jobs.

He was totally right that he had the right to be there and their disapproval meant literally nothing about that, and it's not his fault that other idiots used him to push an agenda. Equating that to getting aggressive is absurd. Joementum posted:It's part of a long, and ongoing, argument on the left over whether speech can cause enough harm that prohibiting it is justified. I guess I just don't see how an incident where even the people involved are saying 'yep we were in the wrong' plays into that argument other than using this event as a cudgel to be all 'lol safe spaces right' by other shitheads. I guess it just feels the same as the whole 'here's a picture of a guy taking a dump on/next to a cop car' from OWS. Basically everyone agreed that dude was a retard and not really a symbol of the actual issues in the movement that need to be handled, and the only people who seemed to care about it just so happened to want to use it to whine about how really if you think about it isn't this proof the entire movement is meaningless and bad?
