2018 Texas HS Football
Loving watching Duncanville beat Allen. I hope it holds on. Crap - Allen holds inside Duncanville territory. This could be where the mojo turns. I think tonight either Longview beats Tascosa handily or Tascosa wins a close one. Longview needs to not make stupid turnovers (#captain obvious)

Texas District Court Strikes Down the Entire Affordable Care Act
So, just to be clear, you do not think there were / are problems with the VA? And this is based on a three-year-poll of 5,818 veterans of which 78% were "satisfied" with their coverage, which could be explained by its cost? Dots are starting to connect.

Texas District Court Strikes Down the Entire Affordable Care Act
That's a really great question and one that likely deserves another thread. I don't have some great, well formed master thesis, and I agree "activist judge" is a loaded term. Much like pornography, I know it when I see it. Simply put, I generally in favor of Congress or legislatures (the voice of the people) making laws and the judiciary interpreting those in disputes between two private parties. I think lower courts have over-stepped by making sweeping rulings that effective legislate and undermine the will of the people. Again, I am no Constitutional scholar, but I think putting so much power in un-elected individuals is undermines democracy.

Yeah, he's a genius when it comes to health care: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/14/opinion/krugman-vouchers-for-veterans-and-other-bad-ideas.html (https://dailycaller.com/2014/05/14/paul-krugmans-love-affair-with-the-scandal-plauged-va/)

No. I do not support activist judges regardless of the issues. I try to put principle over politics, and I think the foundations of our government are more important than any single issue. Much more worried about the war than a particular battle.

99% of this board just changed its position on “activist judges.” Now they’re racist nazis.

Things not going well in France
Yep. It is one thing to go all over social media emoting ... it is another to actually have to take personal responsibility and pay for it. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/voters-rejecting-carbon-fee-in-first-day-returns/ From November: Washington state voters on Tuesday rejected Initiative 1631, a proposed carbon fee on fossil-fuel emissions that spurred the biggest ballot-measure spending spree in state history. As of Tuesday evening, with more than 1.9 million votes tallied from all 39 counties, 56.3 percent of the voters opposed the initiative, while 43.7 percent supported the measure. There are many more votes to be counted but the lead was unlikely to be overtaken.

Why were you a Never Trumper in 2015-16?
Even as a kid, when I saw him on TV destroying my beloved USFL I thought something like: "that is an arrogant a-hole. I don't like him." Nothing has led me to change my mind. After the election, I had some hope the office might humble him and turn him into an adult ... oops.

Yelp
I trust Yelp more than Google, but like others I usually only look at it when I'm traveling out of town looking for dinner. I just go by the stars. Not perfect but better than nothing.

Voter Suppression
An interesting story out of the city that invented fixing elections: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-met-chicago-13th-ward-alderman-race-kass-20181206-story.html The history of the little guy being squashed by massive Chicago political clout at election time is just too long to print without weeping. But the story for today is so amazing that some Chicago election officials have never seen the like.

Not to mention Secretary of State is barely a Cabinet position. The WH butler has more influence.

I never in a million years would have bet on Amarillo Tascosa. Knowing my luck and Lobo history, Tascosa will beat Longview next week.
