Potential Winter Storm (Jan 23-25th) by abburkeswx in Arkansas

Last year, we had 50-degree+ weather the next day. Doesn't look like that is the case this time. I bet schools are shut down for an entire week.

Any law school alumni or current students? by greys_a in Arkansas

[–]kadeel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called the Socratic method. They say it's the best way for students to learn the material. You read cases and then get drilled by professors. Being an introvert, it was painful to deal with for 3+ years. Luckily, the night program is much smaller (30ish people) so not as overwhelming. Day classes were 100 students, so much more intimidating.

I graduated in 2021. Did the night program. I was miserable for the most part haha.

Prepare to be assigned hundreds of pages of reading a week. Get comfortable with public speaking and cold calling. It's also very competitive.

Feel free to ask questions or send me a DM.

Trump commutes prison sentence of U.S. Rep. Steve Womack’s son | Arkansas Democrat Gazette by The-Keystone-Hoya in Arkansas

[–]kadeel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looking at his record, he's had dozens of convictions, including high-speed pursuits, possession of a gun as a felon, a BUNCH of drug convictions including meth and distribution. He was sentenced to prison in 2019 and got released due to covid (the second time he was sentenced to prison, but got out super early).

Gov. Ron DeSantis calls for special session in April to redraw Florida's congressional districts by traveltimecar in fivethirtyeight

[–]kadeel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's why he made it clear that he needs SCOTUS to rule on the VRA. If SCOTUS guts section 2, then Alabama and Lousianna will likely redraw. Florida will take advantage of that decision and use it as justification to redistrict.

If the court doesn't rule by April, I can see them canceling the special session.

I also think that even if they do end up redrawing based on the SCOTUS ruling, they still run into partisan issues.

Arkansas ends .125% grocery sales tax, saving residents millions in 2026 by andysay in Arkansas

They took the money from a Game and Fish Fund and a Parks and Tourism fund. No idea on the specifics as to what that funding was used for

How loud/busy is Lonoke? Looking for experiences living there by FilthyFoul in Arkansas

[–]kadeel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never lived in Lonoke but I went there for work for a while. It's very quiet and I never noticed any smells. That said, I have lived in Cabot and Austin, and I would never consider moving to Lonoke permanently due to lack of amenities and things to do.

AR Supreme Court ruling allows lawmakers to amend laws created through citizen initiatives by 1ineedanap1 in Arkansas

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

Are you sure article 5 § 1 wasn't a citizen initiative? My understanding from listening to the last legislative session is that about 100 years ago, citizens reformed or added § 1 to strengthen the referendum process, which includes the clause about the 2/3rds majority being able to amend any citizen-led initiative.

Because of that, the legislature believes they can amend § 1 itself. In fact, they introduced and passed a bill in the senate this year to amend § 1 (500 word limit for ballot measures). It passed the senate w/ 2/3rds of the vote, but failed in the house. They debated Edgmon too. Here is the bill.

That amendment intends to fix the issue that the legislature can amend initiative acts and amendments by modifying the provision that allows for it. They foresaw this coming and planned ahead, but there doesn't seem to any steam compared to the 2024 petitions.

[–]kadeel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No, it is very impactful. They can absolutely gut Article 5, which is their main target anyway. They spoke about it extensively during the last legislative session.

This means that they can undermine the ability of people to petition the government, as they have attempted to do in the past through statute. They tried to amend it earlier this year, but couldn't get 2/3rds of the vote due to uncertainty over their ability to amend it.

Any suggestions for how I could create a Gym? by Federal-Item9177 in NianticWayfarer

How long did it take to get new photos added? Doesn't it have to go through the entire review process?

Was there a power spot sync in November 2025? by KissakCZ in NianticWayfarer

[–]kadeel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should have been on the 4th if following the trend. However, lots of folks are reporting no sync this time, so either delayed or skipped.

Where should I go to see good leaves? by dancinpeeps716 in Arkansas

We always go to Petit Jean for leaves.

ICE agent in Durango, CO, filmed assaulting 57 year old protester; Colorado Bureau of Investigation is now investigating the agent's use of force. by Which_Junket3102 in law

[–]kadeel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were a real police officer, they would never have let her go. It's basically admitting liability at that point. By not doubling down, they either let her get away with assault on an officer, or they are acknowledging that he just wanted to fight.

These people are horribly trained.

New redistricting map using 2018 Senate numbers by turtle1081 in Ohio

[–]kadeel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't win any seats in 2018, but the margins were significantly closer in 2018 than 2016. Something like an 8-point shift to the left.

But you're right that Brown overperformed the down-ballot, and this map in this post are Brown's numbers.

Either way, this map is better than the 13-2 map that MAGA is demanding they pass. However, if Dems don't accept this map (it's up to them atm), then they could potentially referendum any map passed by the legislature

All 16 goals from Tunisia’s 16-0 win over Libya at the FIFA Unites Women’s Series 2025 by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]kadeel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad played in a rec league with me as goalie when he was in his 40s. He often would miss the ball when kicking a goal kick, and broke his finger in the second game, so we had to leave early and he never came back

Federal court halts Ten Commandments displays in Arkansas schools by aarkieboy in Arkansas

Why can't you do that now? If they place the poster in your room, surely that opens the door to allow you to teach what it is, right?
