Trump has decided not to try and block Comey from testifying via executive privilege. His lawyers probably saw the same problems we identified; if Comey defied Trump's request they would have had to go to court and it would be a tough argument to make there in less than a week. https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/870847819376201728

glowing-fish posted:I've heard that East of the Mississippi (I hope that is a neutral term), interstate rest stops have fast food restaurants and stuff? By federal interstate funding law you're not allowed to have plazas on roads that were built as interstates unless they were tolled and grandfathered in. This is why you see plazas on all the east coast toll highways that predated the interstate system. There's plenty of no-commerce rest areas on various interstates in the northeast that are just bathrooms, vending machines, and a wifi hotspot. There's a few non-tolled highways that still have service plazas (Route 128/I-95 in MA, the CT turnpike/I-95) and that's because they were grandfathered in. kefkafloyd fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jun 3, 2017 |

business hammocks posted:This seems bad. Is this bad? NPR is out on a limb with the "maybe they'll have a special session" nonsense, no one else is predicting that, and Trump's lawyers didn't ask for it. They asked the court to issue a quick ruling on the injunction hoping to have the travel ban back in place while they wait for the case to be argued, but then brief and argue the case in a normal timeframe, during the fall session. The supreme court is going to go into recess in July, so they basically said "ok, if you want us to look at the preliminary injunction before we leave for the summer, then you need to hurry up with the briefs." They need 5 votes for the preliminary injunction. If they grant it, then that'll be very bad news and we'll know that soon enough. If they leave the ban in place till they hear the case, that won't necessarily mean anything one way or the other because the 5th vote could be genuinely undecided, and its better to leave the ban in place for now.

That wasn't a soul issue iirc, he just thinks you're unable to use race as a factor ever, including to make minority majority districts, and the NC GOP was dumb enough to state outright that was what they had done. If they bother to pretend, or stick to political gerrymandering, Thomas is just peachy.

Tevery Best posted:As a non-American, can I ask why is that? Our constitution prohibits making things retroactively illegal and prohibits taking something away without compensating the owner. Courts have also ruled that newly prohibiting an owner from using their land in a particular way can be effectively taking something from them because their land is now less valuable and so requires compensation. If the government decides to make no exceptions and tries to pay the land owners for the loss of value due to the new restrictions it often leads to massively complex legal battles as owners try to force the payout as high as possible. This is made worse by the fact that uses that governments generally don't like are often run by unsavory or aggressively litigious people. So instead most laws that add or change land use restrictions grandfather in the already in place legal uses. In cases where the government wants the use gone but doesn't want to pay up right now like the road plazas, a strip club in a now residential area, or billboards along highways the government will often keep an eye on the property, buy it if it ever comes onto the market, apply the new restrictions (governments don't have to compensate themselves), and resell it.

It is the saddest pizza. The problem with this discussion is that Ginos is only a thing in NH, MA, and CT, so most people reading this won't know what we're talking about. You already saw two posters thinking it was just a cutesy name you were giving to Papa Johns (which is, actually, trash). But you do me a big favor by saying your favorite pizza is Costco. Now anyone reading can judge the relative merits of our taste by comparison to Costco. Costco is CONVENIENT. If you're there because you need to buy 60 lbs of dog food and you want to bring a pizza home without making a separate stop? OK, go ahead. I won't judge. But Costco as a destination for Pizza is simply insane. Papa Ginos is the greasiest pizza in the world, which also makes it the best pizza in the world. Yes it's thin. When did thin become bad? It flops and drips and makes the world a better place. While on the subject of New England franchises, D'angelos has the best cheese steak outside of Philly. (Note that I don't give an "outside of Manhattan" qualifier for Ginos since it is actually just the best). IIRC D'angelos and Ginos are the same company or at least are usually right next to each other in strip malls so I'm sure you've "been conned" into having excellent sandwiches as well.

Dexo posted:Only hope is probably Clarence Thomas being unable to vote for something so blatantly racist and unconstitutional. I think its worth emphasizing that the rulings below which blocked Trump's travel ban were extraordinary. Its not really that obviously unconstitutional and it wouldn't be weird to see the court reverse. If Obama had issued the travel ban shortly before leaving office, people would still complain, but the courts wouldn't even lift an eyebrow and would summarily dismiss any attempts to block it. The only reason why we are here is that Trump is a vile orange racist hate golem who loudly and proudly campaigned on a ban based solely on religion, and you can't do a ban based on religion. This situation is so very weird because the courts have blocked Trump from doing what literally any other president would have been allowed to do, because he's Trump and we loving know why he's doing this. The courts really didn't want to be in this situation and want to defer to the president, but Trump was just too loud and dumb about it and the courts reluctantly agreed to this point that they can't close their eyes cover their ears and pretend he didn't shout his hateful racist motive. If he loses this case, I guess the only way for him to do this travel ban would be to recant his prior stance, tell everyone he's seen the light, go on an I love muslims tour.... and then announce the travel ban again for national security reasons.

You get off at an exit, there's a couple truck stops that usually have a fast food restaurant + giant convenience store + a few chain restraunts (McDonalds, Bob Evans etc) up and down the main drag along with maybe a couple hotels.

Shifty Pony posted:Our constitution prohibits making things retroactively illegal and prohibits taking something away without compensating the owner. Courts have also ruled that newly prohibiting an owner from using their land in a particular way can be effectively taking something from them because their land is now less valuable and so requires compensation. This explains the grandfathering, but the reason why they don't want commercial plazas on interstates is because who gets to own and run those plazas (along with their pricing and other things) is super political. For a toll road, a plaza makes some kind of sense, because they tend to have limited interchanges and people don't want to get whacked for multiple tolls. The roads were not meant to be revenue extraction tools, they were meant to facilitate the free movement of people and goods. That's also why interstates don't have tolls unless they were grandfathered in or are on things like bridges, because the funding of those roads was provided by taxes and that funding had conditions, like no tolls. The effect of this is that the truck stops and rest areas all converged near the exits on the interstates. Of course, State highways can have service plazas because they're not Interstates, but most states are not interested in running service plazas and just leave the private sector to build truck stops or businesses at the exits themselves.
