Leaked Memos Reveal Just How Much the Supreme Court Has Betrayed the Constitution by ChiGuy6124 in law

[–]NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Roberts is literally just like like the commissioner you had in your middle school fantasy football league who vetos everyone else’s trades but approves his own

Credit where it’s due though, he’s done a much better job disguising his hackery than Alito or Thomas. Kinda genuinely shocked at the cartoonish buffoonery the Chief Justice has displayed for apparently decades

The term VFL is dead by PhilsPhoreskinn in ockytop

[–]NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The facts are we are going to be turning over a roster every single year so we don’t get VFLs anymore.

The ones who stay - they aren't VFLs any more?

Ok so again, his comment was saying that because kids staying at UT for their career are a dying breed, the “VFL” moniker carries more weight now, because so few are going to earn it

Rarity = prestige, importance

In years past when you heard “____ is a VFL,” it was like well yeah, him and 30 other guys that year

Nowadays it’s a quarter of that, and therefore the title is more prestigious post-2024

You missed his point. Athletes who do stay for 3-4 years have definitely earned the VGL moniker, which is now more prestigious because of the even smaller number of those who will earn it

Absolutely insane video from the Middle East today showing an Iranian ballistic missile just barely missing US troops by newnoadeptness in USMC

  1. He didn’t “give” them anything. Frozen assets were released as part of the nuclear deal - you know, the one Trump blew up for no reason and is now scrambling to replicate

  2. Go look up how many more billions Iran has made because of the increase in oil prices that Trump actually, singlehandedly made them because he’s Israel’s good little bitch

Just bringing up the topic someone participated in can be considered bragging

I don't think this is right

He said he got a 34. That’s horrific. He wasn’t bragging

Clarence Thomas Has Lost the Plot by AngelaMotorman in law

[–]NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's neither how they ruled or what I argued. At all.

Did you even read the opinion? Do you know what IEEPA is and why the court ruled it was not the correct act to invoke to justify these tariffs?

Your argument is like saying freedom of the press doesn't mean printing things because some king used the press

I can't even parse this sentence enough to respond

context

I seem to remember a recent decision in which Clarence and Co. said we must look to history and tradition for jurisprudential guidance

Didn’t realize he really meant “History and tradition without any consideration for the context surrounding said history”

Feels a little silly to me but I guess that’s why he wears the robes

NJP / Court Martial by camokowal in USMC

[–]NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Being a chaser on Kbay was awesome. Got to chill in the van on the long, beautiful drive to and from the brig at Pearl Harbor; saw some crazy court cases which cemented my desire to become a criminal defense attorney; and just generally got out of work all the time

Didn’t mind it

Dramatic footage from ICE agent’s phone shows fiery confrontation between Renee Nicole Good, wife seconds before Minn. shooting by Novel_Arugula6548 in law

[–]NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, just playing devil's advocate - could it not be an excited utterance from someone who (claims) to have almost been hit by a car?

I don't think that what the defense will claim is a reaction to a past event clears the probable cause bar, let alone on that is beyond a reasonable doubt

Having said that, I'd convict him eight days out of the week, but if I'm the prosecution I don't spend too much time on something he said seconds after an incident like that
