The KKK list is supposed to be of actual members and not just contact info a member had? I can absolutely believe there are GOP Congressmen in the Klan and I can't imagine Klansmen not having some congressional contact info, Klansman or not. Either way, here's hoping Joe Wilson(R - KKK) is called on to explain this.

Luigi Thirty posted:So they're trying to figure out whether or not they should charge like an entire high school with CP charges after finding that everyone was trading naked photos of each other at a high school. It was centered on the football team, as usual. They even had point values assigned to photos and bragged about their collections, stored in phone apps that hide photos. Someone found out about it via an anonymous tip. Some people were just sending girls unsolicited dick pics and asking for pics of themselves in response. It's so big that they don't know what to do about it. Right now juvenile detention center lobbyists are probably calling local congressmen to push them to charge all these kids. Sending a picture of yourself naked? You're now a felon and you get to start off the rest of your ruined life being used as slave labor for a decade or so. smg77 posted:This is a real picture hanging in Ben Carson's house: A painting of Ben Carson with a black Jesus?

Using legislative history to justify a court decision? IOKIYAR. Wouldn't the actions of Congress show the exact opposite? Congress trying to pass laws restricting the FCC means they believe the FCC may have that power currently and they want to remove/limit it.

The Phlegmatist posted:Oh, and they specifically excluded chiropractic care from coverage. B-b-but it totally helped me you guys!  Control Volume posted:The last job I worked was in manufacturing where two people got in an actual fight. The company response was to send them home for the night and chew them out the day after. Neither one was fired. The situation was defused by putting them in different areas of the company, and the two people generally didn't like each other after that (well the one telling the story didn't hold much of a grudge), but the company solved the issue without letting the place slip into being a hostile work environment. Blue collar workers fighting with each other is not the same thing as a student being attacked by a teacher. If two teachers got in a fight (or two students) they'd be disciplined and probably not fired/expelled. If either of your coworkers had attacked a client/customer they would've been fired at the very least and the employer would be doing whatever they could to avoid being sued.

It rests entirely on Kennedy and IIRC he's not a fan of abortion. It'll be 5-4 and the only hope pro-choice people have is if Kennedy or someone else decides to rule against Texas because their requirements are just dumb bullshit and if they want to ban abortion they need to just come out and try to do so directly.

If they're Americans then no, they really don't have every right to be afraid after the Paris attacks because being afraid of things half a world away is dumb as hell. This goes double for people scared now who saw no reason to be afraid after the Bundy Ranch insanity (including cops being murdered) or Dylan Roof trying to start RaHoWa. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that people screaming for blood after the Paris attacks have a large overlap with people who see people like Cliven Bundy as a victim.

This is factually incorrect though. He's arrogant as gently caress and thinks he knows how to work the system. In reality him "working the system" results in things like Obama being able to get a bunch of confirmations that weren't going to happen otherwise. He's not quite as bad as Carson, but he has the same "I'm really good at X, so I'm also really good at A-W" mindset. Cruz consistently burns bridges within his own party too. The establishment might hate Trump the most but Cruz is second on their shitlist.

Fried Chicken posted:NAACP alleges cops 'behind' last night's shooting in Minnesota, says they have video of undercover cops leaving scene Isn't the head of the police union in a(n alleged) white supremacist motorcycle club, or was that another city? Luigi Thirty posted:The thing that's really hard to prove so they charge police with it as a token because they always get off? The dashcam video is apparently pretty horrific. Like, the family was given a 5m settlement without actually suing first and there were 18 prior complaints about this officer. Also, after the shooting several police went to the Burger King and deleted over an hour of security camera footage from before/during/after the incident (and Burger King corporate has made this claim). It'd be really nice if cops could actually get charged with obstruction of justice but the shooter's being charged so I'm not going to hold out hope for several more miracles. We desperately need a department in the DoJ that does nothing but handle police investigations. Local prosecutors and most independent review boards are in bed with the PDs to a huge degree. Feds, at the very least, have less chance to give a gently caress about local buddy-buddy bullshit and would be more likely to nail cops to the wall when they break the law.

Last year the Chicago PD pulled one of its members over and when they realized who he was, they turned off their cameras and literally beat the poo poo out of him and arrested him on a false charge. If law enforcement didn't want cops being able to avoid being recorded they wouldn't let them have the ability to turn off their dash cams in the first place. Being able to turn off your cameras, abuse someone, and then get a slap on the wrist is the system working as (the police) intended.
