This is a correct statement of the law. But it seems like the facts might support protection of the right to wear the hat at issue, under Tinker. Is there actually evidence that it would “materially disrupt classwork or involve substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others”? A merely speculative belief that…

Well, the labor participation rate in the U.S. has been hovering around 62% for a while, so this means that Sanders donors are more likely than the average American citizen (16 years or older) to be in the workforce. Which makes sense, since they have money to donate. I don’t know if we can really draw many broad…

Indeed. I’ve long argued that the Feed Kennedy Foundation has been the primary driver of progress on LGBT rights in the last couple decades.

Sure!

Here’s a link to an article describing the Israeli study: https://psmag.com/judges-decisio…. I’m sure you can find a lot more if you Google it. There is some question as to how much of the impact is related to higher glucose levels after eating, and how much is caused by so-called “decision fatigue” (which has to do…

Does Thomas have a Coke with that?

Stevens and Souter may have been appointed by Republicans, but their overall voting records were not exactly conservative.

This takeout problem might be a very serious issue. Research has shown that one of the most important elements in various kinds of crucial decisionmaking is the length of time since the decision maker last ate. Studies of parole boards in Israel found that the largest single factor, more than the severity of the…

Perhaps if the GOP nominates the emptiness, it will swallow them whole and we can enjoy single payer healthcare in peace without somebody constantly screaming about who is in the bathroom with their daughter or something.

According to observers, the emptiness still had longer fingers than the expected podium occupant, and a better grasp of health care reform.

Thank you, that was delicious.

“But her apology isn’t going to do anything for your life.”

Well, an annulment definitely won’t get him out of paying child support, though marital asset distribution and spousal support are another matter. And he is a Democrat, so the alternatives in Florida are probably much worse. Plus, being abandoned with a leaky breast implant in a house full of mold is still getting a…

Personally, i thought that other ad the hillary camp put out was pretty offensive, you know the one where it shows Vince Foster’s dead body and the voiceover is like “still think Hillary can’t get things done?”

And Donald came from a future where global warming has baked everyone orange and humans need tiny fingers to pry open the shells they use to hide from the radioactivity Donald himself causes in the present? Time travel sure is a wild ride.

But what if they made our bed and we have to lie in it?

“This is the problem. People like you don’t understand that state and local elections are far more significant to the laws and regulations that impact your day-to-day life than the Presidency. Look at these bathroom bills, the anti-choice laws, the redistricting, the misuse of taxpayer money- this happens in far…

“The party isn’t private, but it is an organization and there are reasons you can’t just jump on the bandwagon when it pleases you. The reason we have so many closed primaries is expressly because the party doesn’t want outside influences coming and taking over on any given whim. It would make the party a shapeless…

I understand what you’re saying, and I even agree with a lot of it (certainly citizens bear some responsibility for the current state of politics, and I absolutely favor more focus by liberals on local, state, and congressional elections). But the problem with accepting the idea of the Democratic Party as a private…

Yeah, that sounds right. I guess the issue would be whether the relevant establishment is Airbnb (which rents more than 5 rooms at any given time) or the host, who does not. It does seem like Airbnb could make a pretty good case that they are just a connection service, not an establishment for lodging transient guests.
