Yes, I know. Just pointing out that this is in fact one of those times.

In this case, however, it is an Act of Congress (RFRA) that formed the basis for the rule stated in Hobby Lobby, so Congress could undo this mess by amending RFRA (if it chose to do so). It would not require a SCOTUS ruling.

Actually, it's not as difficult as a constitutional amendment or another Supreme Court decision. The Hobby Lobby decision was based on RFRA, the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," which is an act of Congress. Congress could easily (if it wanted to, which, hahahahahahahah) amend or repeal RFRA to eliminate this…

Eleanor, for sure.

Uniqlo has a version of these that look way better than these. Also they are like 20 bucks. That said, it is not hard to envision an item that looks way better than these.

I haven't read it yet, but it's likely based on "undue burden" from Planned Parenthood v Casey, which says that states can regulate abortion unless the "state regulation imposes an undue burden on a woman's ability to make this decision." That is, a law is unconstitutional if its "purpose or effect" is "to place a…

Ugh, I hear you. I love my husband dearly, but he plain doesn't get a lot of the utter bullshit that comes with being a woman.

I think it should be #notallkids though, because both of mine were completely uninterested in this toy (we have the ladybug version gathering dust) — other than sproinging the antennae. Now this, on the other hand (partially plastic, but extremely well made and half the price of the ladybug) my 22-month-old has gone…

Yes, though in fairness to Karl, I think he would fuck with men too given the chance. He's trolling the fashion world at this point, I see no other possible explanation.

It's CHANEL. I think Karl Lagerfeld is fucking with her.

I am 70% of the way done with Book 2 and so far it has been almost entirely about young Claire and Jamie, not "Old Claire" and Brianna.

Yea to the dress and boots. Nay, nay, nay to the third grade hairstyle complete with ribbon.

All that is true, but the bottom line is that there is no clear option that guarantees a good result, so I am not going to castigate her for choosing the route she has chosen. She clearly believes she can still do a lot of good on the court. I'm not going to say she should retire now while she still has the stamina…

She addresses this in the interview, pointing out that due to the current composition (and general incompetence) of Congress, and the fact that the fillibuster rule is still in place for SCOTUS appointments, there is no way anyone reasonably okay would be able to be appointed in her place. So, her view is that we are…

Generally, there is a presumption of openness in the judicial system — that is, that anything that is filed with a court of law is a matter of public record and available for public review. There are exceptions of course (for the protection of minors, for national security, etc) and these exceptions vary from forum…

Fun fact: the correct plural of octopus is not octopi. Because Octopus originates from the Greek, not the Latin. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/words/what-…

THANK YOU! I was scrolling and scrolling waiting for this response.

There's a really funny This American Life episode where Ira and his producer learn to do it and then try it out. I think they come out similarly to you. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives…

Uh, except that part where he has fully admitted that he did it.

There are several Outlander groups on Ravelry....
