he went to jail for catcalling? i can agree that it’s something that people shouldn’t do, but i don’t know if actual jailtime makes sense.

i wouldn’t get too excited, folks. This was just a dismissal of a motion To dismiss. The only thing it means is that if all allegations are proven true, then the claims are not entirely without merit. It’s not a loss for Trump in any meaningful sense and says basically nothing about the strength of the claim. I’m sure…
I’m so glad to live in a country in which the constitution guarantees the freedom of speech.

“There’s no legitimate, non-criminal reason to own a sound suppressor.”
They said their problem is with the way Trump did this. Reno did it the exact same way. They referenced Reno as a contradiction to the way Sessions did it and that is not accurate.
Actually Janet Reno did the exact same thing Sessions just did with the incoming Clinton administration.
How the fuck do you think he’d plead?
To be fair, she is also the mother of boys. As one myself (& also a rape survivor), I admit it terrifies me that a woman could falsely accuse my son of rape and it would be assumed as fact.
Much as I agree with the decision, shouldn’t the judiciary be the one branch of government *not* thinking about public opinion when they do their job?
I wish it was anywhere near that easy. It is not.
Unfortunately, there is a fairly good chance that the EO withstands legal challenges, or at least, that significant portions of it do, such as the ban on refugees and the ban on nonimmigrants. There is over a century of authority saying that the President has near-unlimited authority to determine who can and cannot…
By allowing student groups to invite speakers, they are creating a limited public forum which means they can’t discriminate based on content or viewpoint.
Counterpoint: trolls thrive on conflict and getting a reaction, and so resorting to violence and/or vandalism as protest is giving him exactly what he wants. The entire scheme is to poke the bear and get people angry enough to provoke physical retaliation, and then say “oh look how violent these ‘tolerant’ leftists…
The Neo-Nazi’s got what they wanted. A violent group of leftists “supressing campus free speech.”
It’s incredible and ridiculous that a defendant exercised his right to an appeal? What’s incredible and ridiculous is that you somehow feel qualified to write an article about the criminal justice system when you have no insight into nor experience in the field. I worked as a prosecutor for about 2 and a half years…
This guy is a monster, but his appeal seems pretty standard. If they didn’t file it, he could get his conviction overturned or get a new trial for ineffective assistance of counsel.
“TBH right now “favor(ing) state power over federal power” sounds extra tasty crispy.”
No I blame Reid. The democrats were never going to hold the presidency (or Congress) forever. It was a miscalculation and unintentional for sure, but it was still his mistake.
Appointees can’t be filibustered. You can thank Harry Reid for that.
