The 14th Amendment protects you from state action (“No state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”). This school is not a state actor.

You win.
Nope. Every case presents its own facts and circumstances. There’s an enormous amount of discretion in our justice system.
Maybe! I was speaking purely from a realist perspective. Elected judges are a terrible idea.
Right. I get it. The slippery slope. That argument is made everyday in courtrooms across America. And it’s almost always rejected. We punish based on what you did, not based on what you might have done.
Yeah, I get it. We all get it. We’re not missing the point. Incentives and disincentives. It’s not that deep. But judging involves applying law to the specific facts of each case. Judges weigh things. They make exceptions. They “bring down the hammer” sometimes and they ease up sometimes. And believe it or not, it’s…
Respectfully, this is not even remotely close to true.
I think you’re misunderstanding what people here are saying. Everyone understands the philosophical underpinnings of the judicial system. You’re just seriously overestimating the way judges actually conduct their day to day work . Judges, especially trial judges, are pragmatists above all else. And nobody is going to…
“I’m going to throw the book at the guy who tried to punch the guy who sexually molested his three teenage daughters.” - No judge who wants to keep their job (in a state where they elect judges, no less).
I know it’s crazy to say, but I’m not sure the Browns are that far away. They spent big on the O-line last year and now have four former pro bowlers there. Their WRs are question marks but have big upside (Gordon, Coleman). Njoku had a solid rookie year. Duke Johnson is one of the better receiving RBs in the league.…
Must have been only the first half playbook.
Because you don’t know when the “then” is.
Not here to debate Ripple (or XRP, more specifically). But the logic of “doesn’t mean that it can’t make people some money” is terrible. Anything could make people some money. Bubbles create enormous returns. Lots of people made huge money in tulips, and in credit default swaps, and in early days internet stocks, etc.…
No disrespect, but I’m not here to give financial advice or to debate the values of any given crypto. As with any investment, I just suggest reading everything you can before investing in it. I think that’s especially true with crypto, and especially with some of the more hyped crypto. If you read what you can,…
You do you, but you’re going to have to give them your checking info if you ever want to withdraw.
Fees man. Fees. (But also for newcomers, using your bank account will help rein in impulse buying.)
Oh, that reminds me. Don’t buy crypto with a credit card.
You don’t need to use Coinbase. You can just buy it straight on GDAX (or Gemini or Kraken). Also, I’m not in the business of giving financial advice, but....do a lot of reading before you buy Ripple.
