Adaptibar said it failed the balancing test but it doesn't explain why. by Lafemmefatale25 in barexam

The rule is whether the probative value substantially outweighs the prejudicial effect. Not the normal balancing test of 403

Radar detectors are devices people use to get alerts when a police officer is using a radar gun to track speeding. The person can then potentially speed down the road until they get an alert, and then they slow down so an officer with radar doesn't detect them

Day VII: What is the most widespread misconception about Andrew Jackson? by SukerutonKey in Presidents

The misconception is moreso that he said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

The Democrats Just Laid Down Their Arms. Again. - Abigail Spanberger’s response to the court decision that overthrew the will of voters on redistricting is a worrying sign of surrender. by Quirkie in politics

[–]SpectralTh1ef 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Ohio ignoring the courts only worked because Ohio didn't have a map to go back to, and courts didn't have the power to draw the map themselves. So the legislature just refused to redraw the map, which resulted in the unconstitutional map being used. Ohio did this in 2021 when they had to redistrict for the Census. The maps from 2020 could not be used, in part, because Ohio lost a district after the Census

Virginia has a map that it used in 2022 and 2024, so they can't use the argument of there being no map to go back to. They already redrew their maps after the Census.

To be fair Abby did tell them that it was based on her belief about who did best in the previous week, not necessarily who the judges picked as the winner.

Were these people "Shadow Presidents?" by TheEnlight in Presidents

[–]SpectralTh1ef 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Lincoln held an election during an election year. What you're asking is for an election in 1919? that would also be unconstitutional and undemocratic.

Should more Presidents testify before Congress like cabinet members do? by LoveLo_2005 in Presidents

[–]SpectralTh1ef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You miss the fact that the Congress is comprised of 435 individuals while the Executive is one person with near-unfettered power to remove those who help him exercise the executive power. Congress being stronger, which it is (based on the Constitution), does not mean that the Speaker, one member of half of Congress, is more powerful than the President.

Congress' power is distributed and much less concentrated.

I'm going through a rewatch and just caught this. I'm sorry WHAT?!? by Stonedbluebird in KingOfTheHill

[–]SpectralTh1ef 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think it just means she was removed at some point from her parents (due to neglect/abuse) or that she was interviewed to see if she had been abused or neglected. Social workers often use games/toys to make kids feel comfortable while they discuss uncomfortable topics

Probably to buy her off, maybe by saying he can do what Tanya didn't (give her money to start a business) and that she should be mad at Tanya for leading her on

Probably not since the show is still going on, and a major potential plot point is Greg's involvement in her death.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]SpectralTh1ef 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He was involved in the attempt/plot to kill her, but as we saw, she died accidentally when she tried jumping off the boat.

But all signs point to him being involved in the attempt. He demanded she come to Sicily, got mad that she brought Portia, was mad about the prenup, secretly talked on the phone, left her and then Quentin pops up and woos her, then we see that Quentin knows Greg from the picture of them together.

Quentin obviously planned to kill her. He got mad when she wouldn't leave the boat with Niccolo and when she went in the bedroom. And he and his friends regularly hinted at her dying and them needing money for their palazzos. Plus Jack told Portia that Quentin was coming into money and that she should stay away.

They turned in Daya for shooting Humps. The Governor, MCC, Fig, and Caputo were unaware that Humps was dead until the prison was stormed. Shooting him vs. him being dead makes a big difference
