McAlister posted:And that doesn't matter because insurance companies don't have the information you think they have and mr green isn't allowed to look at the information they do have. He'd go to jail if he did. So he effectively doesn't have it. HIPAA seriously restricts data access, yeah. I would suspect they have the plan administration firewalled off somewhere inside HR - at my company my manager simply has no access to any of my benefits data, for example. We had someone go off on disability for what we thought might have been mental health issues; my manager candidly admitted that not only could she not discuss the issue, she literally did not know any salient details as it was all handled by HR. Some digging would probably turn up Hobby Lobby's corporate data privacy standards.

Oracle posted:It doesn't hurt that both nursing and teaching are both female-dominated professions and therefore treated with less respect because of it. I am always amazed how US teachers don't have strong unions. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund is massive. New teachers make $45,709 to $55,404, rising to between $76,021 and $94,707 for a teacher with 10+ years service.

Chuu posted:I think he just stuck his foot in his mouth while trying to split hairs, since everyone on that phone call was smart enough to know that was literally the worst possible answer to that question. He immedietly walks it backs in the next sentence, which I wish I could find a transcript for. If I recall the moment he tried to move the burden of Presidential Infallibility, I mean non-reviewability onto the actual determination of risk - it's the President's call if Countries X, Y and Z pose a national security threat to the United States. Which leads me to ask 'so we're not allowed to look at bad faith?'

Grapplejack posted:If they do get Trump you're looking at President Pence in a scandal ridden office with a fractured party apparatus and zero faculty, since all of Trump's choices will loving leave as soon as he goes down (bar a few of the cabinet picks who won't leave). He will have no mandate. I'm curious who he would get stuck with as a VP. Probably one of the big Dems to counter his positions. How would a Democrat get confirmed by the Senate for VP? Pence would pick some squeaky clean type GOP governor or something. Given the odds Pence would lose the 2020 election , whomever he picked would likely be a frontrunner in 2024 for GOP Presidential nominee.

twodot posted:Again, why is holding a vote and voting down based on partisan reasoning better than bottling him up in committee based on partisan reasoning? I understand the argument that politicizing the Court is bad, but not that politicizing the Court in Senate committees is bad, but not that politicizing the Court in full Senate votes is good. Because some GOP senators would probably have voted for Garland. It's 60 to get cloture but only 50 (+ Biden) to confirm.

fool of sound posted:Don't just switch topics and pretend you weren't just dead wrong about something that takes 10 seconds to google. Maybe take longer than 10 seconds next time? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Democrat "In addition to the New Democrat Coalition, which represents the moderate wing, the Blue Dog Coalition represents conservative Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives." Or, using the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dog_Coalition to answer questions like ' How were the Blue Dogs seen when they had power in the Clinton era?' "In the early years of the caucus, the Blue Dogs were viewed by some as the political successors to a Southern Democratic group known as the Boll Weevils.[37][38] The Boll Weevils may, in turn, be considered the descendants of the Dixiecrats and the "states' rights" Democrats of the 1940s through the 1960s, and even the Bourbon Democrats of the late 19th century." Or the list of former Blue Dogs who jumped ship to the GOP. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_Blue_Dog_Coalition In short, for most of it's existence, the term "Blue Dog" meant a *conservative* Democrat. Now the current group is different, but again, considering the current group apparently " professes an independence from the leadership of both parties" (wikipedia again). I'm not quite sure this would really describe Feinstein, who in any event is ineligible as a Senator. Seriously, from 1995 to today, calling someone a bluedog didn't mean "centrist". Again, Wikipedia: "The Blue Dog Coalition was formed in 1995[9][10][11] during the 104th Congress to give members from the Democratic Party representing conservative-leaning districts a unified voice after the Democrats’ loss of Congress in the 1994 Republican Revolution.[12]" But yeah, sure, ignore the origin and history of the term so it only means centrist now, okay.

If the only remedy sought was to force Trump to stop violating the Emoluments Clause, well, he has, I guess. The Court cannot now grant the relief sought, which does render the case moot, doesn't it? I will try and find the decision later.
