  • Jeanine Pirro's office shelves pursuit of Democrats over social video, sources say

    Jump

  • No. She took this case to a grand jury for indictment, but the jurors voted 24-0 to reject the charges.

    Pirro can try again with a different grand jury at any time, but has now elected not to.

  • Australia backs removal of ex-Prince Andrew from line of succession

    Jump

  • Is it still possible to get him out of the line of succession by forcing him to convert to Catholicism?

  • ICE whistleblower warns new recruits are receiving "defective" training

    Jump

  • And this is why ICE is shooting themselves a lot more than they used to.

  • AI Solves Logistics

  • A large chunk of that space in LA is called "the Florida parishes" because they were part of the Florida territory before they were a part of Louisiana.

  • First president of USA

    Jump

  • That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain. (Although photographs thereof get their own copyright terms.)

  • Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession

    Jump

  • That could be a tricky legal question. The current law is that changes in the line of succession must be approved by all 15 Commonwealth realms. But this law was itself a regular statute passed by the Westminster parliament.

    The principle of parliamentary supremacy demands that no parliament may bind the will of a future parliament. That is, could Westminster just override the 1931 statute when they pass this special "cut out Andrew" bill? There might not be a whole lot that says they can't.

  • Supreme court rejects global tariffs

    Jump

  • The Presidential immunity does not extend to the President's underlings, such as DHS Secretary Noem, or the CBP officer that actually collected a tariff from you.

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office

    Jump

  • This is the look of a man who has had a day. (He was released with no charge after questioning.)

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office

    Jump

  • I'd be on board with reactivating the Tower.

  • Coherent ideology

    Jump

  • Interesting because factions in Belfast use those exact colors.

  • Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee-Haaaaw!

    Jump

  • Damn revenuers!

  • Yes this year is going to be really good and productive

    Jump

  • And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

  • FBI officially refuses to give local investigators any evidence in Minneapolis shootings

    Jump

  • More like after they lose the prelim injunction and the stay pending appeal. My guess, in the 8th circuit, is that they stand a chance at winning the stay pending appeal, which would let them keep rolling for a while.

    It's a non trivial piece of 10th amendment litigation. Maybe Minnesota has a sovereign right to investigate a homicide. But does that oblige the feds to do or not do something? Does it matter if the feds are the only way to get critical evidence? Is it important whether the feds are actively trying to thwart and deny MN's police power? Does MN have to prove they can beat the Supremacy Clause on this case before they can get stuff?

  • it's just science

    Jump

  • Which theory explains why he has not accomplished the above.

  • Oklahoma bill could make aiding an undocumented immigrant a felony

    Jump

  • Don't forget the 6th amendment right to the assistance of counsel.

  • When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?

    Jump

  • The credit card companies have always tried to prevent merchants from doing this by inserting language prohibiting either credit card surcharges or cash discounts into the contract agreements with the merchants. Obviously, credit card companies want to make it easy and convenient for consumers to use their credit cards.

    I can't immediately find it, but at some point I think 10-15 years ago, some merchants sued the credit card companies over this, and they won a court ruling that said that the clauses forbidding cash discounts and surcharging are unenforceable. As a result, merchants are now free to do it, but there are various rules. And some state legislatures have started to get involved with regulating things.

  • Woman sentenced for accusing her estranged spouse of illegally accessing bank account from outer space

    Jump

  • Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

  • Woman sentenced for accusing her estranged spouse of illegally accessing bank account from outer space

    Jump

  • This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

  • Paxton calls Jett ‘Karen’ following Senate drinking allegations

    Jump

  • For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

    Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a "private club" where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of "your" personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

    Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.
