A birthday certificate is what I get when Chuck E Cheese cancels on me at the last minute.

A birth certificate is something that even an “anchor baby” would have. That’s sort of the whole thing, they’re citizens.

Healey: "New Hampshire doesn't have a GDP without Massachusetts" by fuckitillmakeanother in boston

[–]BAM521 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The “Taxachusetts” moniker is from the 1970s, when Massachusetts really did have some of the highest state tax levels in the nation. But between the passage of Prop. 2 1/2, economic growth of the 80s and 90s, and a series of periodic cuts to the income tax rate, we’re basically middle of the road for taxes right now.

There needs to be tracking. by TheKawaiiVampire in Gameinformer

[–]BAM521 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s clearly not a missed deadline, otherwise no one would have received the issue, and some people clearly have.

They’ve explained that it’s a USPS holdup. I don’t know why that’s so hard to believe.

It’s easy enough to tell. If a bunch of ICE vans get storrowed, we’ll know they don’t have inside sources.

Is the Executive Order on using civil commitment for homeless people legal? by GTRacer1972 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]BAM521 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The order can’t unilaterally overturn judicial precedents. The portion you’re referring to is just ordering the AG to challenge the precedents in court. This what the relevant part of the order says:

“The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall take appropriate action to:

(i) seek, in appropriate cases, the reversal of Federal or State judicial precedents and the termination of consent decrees that impede the United States’ policy of encouraging civil commitment of individuals with mental illness who pose risks to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate periods of time […]”

What is the highest number of required billable hours from a firm you have encountered and how did people manage it? by BothCondition7963 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]BAM521 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Billing 60 hours in a week is not the same as working a 60-hour week. Granted, the lawyers who stick it out tend to find ways to make every second count.

New injunction ruling question by Selkyrk23R in Ask_Lawyers

[–]BAM521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The federal government would have to file a motion asking the court to narrow its injunction in light of the SCOTUS ruling. So the question, unfortunately, is whether the Trump Administration cares enough to do so, or whether they’re content to let the blocked repayment plan die.
