I would have considered talking to him to give him a chance to break the news to the agency. But that’s the type of thinking that got me to say privately to a coworker “Hey [Senior Attorney with anger management issues], I just heard you say the N word [in describing Trayvon Martin no less] and I’m gonna ask you not use that in the office anymore.” (On the one hand, he stormed out of his office and yelled at staff “Hey did anyone hear me say n*****!” And then emailed the same staff members along with management to claim he didn’t say it, which pretty much put those staff on notice that he expected them to cover for his denial. OTOH it made his HR complaint (that I was “trying to get him in trouble”) pretty hilarious since I never needed to turn him in for racism thanks to his blow up and email.Hot Dog Day #91 posted:The agency told him he needs to self report. Technically, sounds like your boss should be reported for failure to report if they see this as a “need to” situation. yronic heroism fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Aug 23, 2018 |

terrorist ambulance posted:Is there actual statutory presumptions re intent to traffick from just amounts of controlled substance possessed That would be dumb so someone probably does that, but if a legislature just wants to be tough they can just set a relatively low “large amount” threshold where they treat possession and sale the same. Realistically though, there are tons of ways to prove intent to sell based on cash, “buy books”, circumstances of an arrest, etc. It should be a really large amount before the state’s case is just “amount is inconsistent with personal use.” Disclaimer: I am not a Texan.

ActusRhesus posted:Aaaaaand. Another time my state proves its superiority. PDs by statute must be paid the same as prosecutors of equal seniority. Also determinations on expert funding and such is done by an independent commission of judges (recuse on questions in their own district) and lawyers (no PDs or prosecutors) appointed by the legislature. Same commission makes PD hiring decisions and handles other matters affecting PDs. When you think about it PDs should really just be in it for justice and you don’t want to attract the wrong kind of people to the job by flashing too much money around, amirite?

More than one thing can be true at once, so for example incarcerating murderers can be good and the penal system as a whole can be not so good, and whatever you think of drug prosecutions, it’s absolutely true that those cases are far more common than murders so we can’t ignore that they are part of the system. Prosecutors also can’t pretend that they have no discretion when they have maybe the most of anyone. There, I just solved criminal justice reform for the thread. yronic heroism fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Sep 6, 2018 |

blarzgh posted:Yeah but if you think about it, everyone is going to die eventually so killing somebody is really just taking an indeterminate amount of their already limited existence away, so its NBD REALLY “A death sentence, properly imposed, is merely a slightly premature cardiac event at a hunting lodge but with greater forewarning for the convenience of the family of the condemned for funerary planning.” We find no procedural deficiencies in this matter and therefore AFFIRM the judgment of Texas/Florida/Mississippi/Alabama. Justice Thomas, concurring: I would also hold that a Viagra overdose is not only neither cruel nor unusual, but is, in fact, the most humane form of euthanasia when administered with a reasonable amount of coke can-themed pornographic imagery.

Pook Good Mook posted:Every country that fought in WW2 had a baby boom when it ended. I mean more in a cultural sense than demographic, though these are linked and I guess most places have their share of lovely old people. Nice piece of fish posted:Bigly. Colloquially known as the ""dessert generation", they are the very numerous descendants of the war generation. Enjoying unprecedented wealth after oil and 80s inflation obliterating most debt as well as getting mostly free educations, they voted in right wing government after right wing government to reduce taxes, eliminate inheritance tax (for them, effectively), bloated housing prices to obscene levels, reducing their pension age while increasing ours and strangled young housebuyers by instituting capital requrements for housing loans locking a good portion of millennials out of the market. Now, they've even successfully sold our infinite water power to europe to extract more wealth from our loving natural resources. Makes sense.

No, confirmation (or non-denial denials) that the president is a mush brain and the Gorilla channel thing happened will always be the best part, and this would not have happened here but for a situation caused by lovely reporting. So when you think of it, it’s really the best of all possible media landscapes.
