Lake of Methane posted:I'm watching this press conference in Texas after a search found a mass-shooter, and this guy is standing in the background. Why does his uniform look weird? That's cause he's not military. He's a loving border patrol cop or something like that. The service plate below his big fuckoff badge doesn't say any of the military branches. It's three words but not really intelligible from your screenshot. I think it's US something something. e: also that camo pattern doesn't seem to be a current us military camo pattern. The giant fuckoff badge and the full bird rank also makes me think non-military. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 13:22 on May 3, 2023 |

Clarence Thomas got custody of his great nephew when he was 6. Harlan Crow paid for his tuition at two different boarding schools. None of this was disclosed and the tuition likely eclipsed $150k. https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-private-school-tuition-scotus Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 12:50 on May 4, 2023 |

Grip it and rip it posted:I believe all of this information has been made public due to a judicial disclosure law that was passed recently. I'm sure that there are a number of parties with cases before the court that are very interested in what's going on behind the scenes. It does appear that factions within the conservative right have been making very deliberate inroads into SCOTUS in an effort to help shape legal interpretation. Whether that is a tolerable state of affairs for the right, let alone the whole country, remains to be seen. The only way congress can do anything is by getting 2/3rds of the senate to be non-republican. There are 11 current republican senators up in 2024. If all of them flip, the senate will be 62-38. That's enough to pass laws but not enough to impeach. Republican seats up in 2024: Florida, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska x2, North Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Soylent Pudding posted:All of these civil rights cases from involve a constitutional interpretation called substantive due process. Thomas famously hates the doctrine. In an opinion sometime in the past few years he listed a bunch of civil rights cases that he felt should be overturned because they relied on substantive due process. He hit all but one major civil rights cases yet for some reason Loving was conspicuously absent. Loving was not found via SDP. Loving was found to have violated the equal protection clause of the 14th. Substantive Due Process incorporation refers to the method the federal court is using the 14th to impose part of the bill of rights on states. Reminder that federal constitutional amendments for much of our nations history did not apply to state action. They only restricted the federal government. The 14th amendment allows for direct incorporation of the federal amendments on state action through a few channels. The primary two are based on the due process clause and the privileges and immunities clause. SDP incorporation didn't start with, but it picked up steam with Griswold v. Connecticut. That case was over a Connecticut law that prevented a woman from getting birth control without her husband's consent. That's the real start of the right to privacy in the bill of rights being incorporated via SDP against the states. Roe was the immediate successor to that case. There are a large number of civil rights cases that also use SDP as derived in Griswold because it is the first case they really discussed the unwritten right to privacy that exists throughout the bill of rights. Thomas is anti-SDP. He has rallied against it in every case that has involved it. If the conservative majority found an SDP incorporation, Thomas would concur with an incorporation method using p&i. If he is opposed, he writes a longwinded dissent about how all SDP incorporation is flawed and should be tossed. Dobbs did not toss SDP incorporation entirely even if Thomas still wants to.

Terrifying Effigies posted:That's the concept of Chevron deference, named after a 1984 Supreme Court case involving Chevron which established the principle of the courts deferring to a government agency's interpretation of statutes based on that agency's subject matter expertise in the relevant field. They explicitly granted cert to a case on the question of "was chevron wrongly decided" so you can read into that what you will.

Wasabi the J posted:drat it's almost like it was custom made to gently caress up economies, fund criminal enterprises, and put unnecessary strain on first world infrastructure. It was made so a toy train enthusiast could buy the good poo poo from the UK and get it shipped to California without jumping through currency exchange hoops or getting murdered on exchange rate shenanigans that were standard in the 00s. The unscrupulous types of the world just recognized its potential for criminal use which prompted the train enthusiast to delete everything he had related to it.

Stultus Maximus posted:I just looked it up and lol, it wasn't "some rep" it was the speaker of the house. I couldn't remember if it was the speaker or not so I erred on the side of caution. Despite what Paxton is yelling about, these are republicans running him up. He's hosed. Also his wife is a state senator and will be one of the jurors in this impeachment. One of the articles against him was giving favors to a real estate developer buddy so he'd keep Paxton's mistress on his payroll.

It's just an auto claim. You file with your own insurance while they go collect from the responsible parties and refund your deductible after they get their money. There's no personal injury. There is a fixed amount of damage capped at the value of the vehicle. It will be a pretty trivial claim and should be paid without too much fuss. That looks like just some body damage at first glance, as well. Not likely to be more than $10-15k and that's if something is majorly damaged. It probably won't even be that much. The racetrack and racing org will pay that claim immediately. If someone got physically hurt, there would be protracted litigation. Presently, though, this is minor property damage and may not even eclipse the local jurisdiction's small claim maximum.
