SCOTUS rulings 2020
The most interesting thing about that ruling was that Gorsuch joined Thomas's concurrence that the Establishment Clause doesn't apply to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Thomas has been taking that stance for a long time but he's never had any company.

SCOTUS rulings 2020
I'm not so sure that is what he was saying. I think all he's saying is "we just fucking ruled on the same law four years ago, you don't get to just get a do-over because there are a couple of new justices, and fuck you Fifth Circuit for ignoring clear precedent and putting this back on our plate right now." But if someone wants to bring a more novel argument and the question before the Court is whether Roe or Casey should be overturned rather than whether these regulations violate Whole Women's Health, he may come down a different way.

Apparently like four jurors told Michele they wanted to vote for her but didn't want to risk Nat beating Tony. If they're going to keep doing final 3's, maybe they should do a ranked choice voting system.- Survivor: Winners at War
Except it was not the only path the victory as I clearly laid out. Had Tony lost the firemaking to Sarah (or Michele), Nat had a good chance to win over the other two women. Her only path to victory WAS getting rid of Tony, but that doesn’t mean her making fire had the best odds of getting rid of him. IF she was clearly better at making fire than Sarah or Michele, then I agree, it was the wrong move, but I don’t think any of us really have enough info to have an opinion about that.- Survivor: Winners at War
Nope, he didn’t receive a single vote. Has anyone seen any interviews with any of the final 6-7 people where they talked about why in the hell they weren’t targeting him?- Survivor: Winners at War
Chris didn’t win because the move was ballsy, he won because the move knocked Devens out, thus clearing his path to win. Nat similarly needed to get rid of Tony, not because she needed to be ballsy, but because Tony was the biggest threat in the final 3. If she didn’t feel she had the best shot of the three women of beating him at firemaking, then putting herself against him would have been dumb, not ballsy.- Survivor: Winners at War
I agree, she didn’t play a zero vote game. I also can’t recall someone just completely dominating everyone else at a puzzle like she did that first challenge tonight. That was wild. She also joined Sandra, Amanda, and Russell as the only players to make it through their first two seasons without being voted out. Interesting that 3/4 of those lost both seasons.- Survivor: Winners at War
While I don’t like EOE, Natalie wasn’t just biding her time over there and bonding with jurors like Chris did. She was competing with others and strategizing to influence the game from afar and to gain advantages to help her get back into the game and to better position her if she did.- Survivor: Winners at War
Weird that you’re a fan of a game you don’t understand.- Bosch Season Six, April 17th
I agree with this. The multiple story lines didn’t weave nearly as well this season. I also struggled to care about Edgar’s storyline for whatever reason.- Survivor: Winners at War
Also, Nick somehow viewing Jeremy and Michele as more threatening than Tony and Sara and Ben was fucking insane.- Survivor: Winners at War
EOE sucks. But I also get why they had to have it to convince some of these winners to come back. Hopefully this is the last time we see it.- Survivor: Winners at War
It was good TV but I don't really get Tony's strategy this week. It seemed like chaos for the sake of chaos. How does this help him moving forward?- Survivor: Winners at War
She did buy the 50/50 token. Other than some twosomes, I have absolutely no idea what the alliances are right now. It’s insane that Tony hasn’t received a single vote yet. Adam trying to play the podium was the right move. Relying on that as anything other than a total Hail Mary, not so much. But his logic that it could be an idol was sound.- Survivor: Winners at War
They’ll probably just do a virtual finale/reunion sponsored by Cisco.- The School Shooting Austin Forgot
Unfortunately rehabilitation is greatly affected by one's support system.- Survivor: Winners at War
Yeah, Natalie and her sister together could be a little much at time on the Race but I've loved Natalie as a Survivor player.- Texas 2020 general election
Kennon knew that was going to be an issue. That’s why her signs all had the cartoon drawing of her showing she’s a woman. But it wasn’t enough for the number of low info voters that show up in a Presidential year.- Jewish kid kicked off Anderson HS robotics team for making anti-Semetic joke
It's federal, so it won't be a general denial, but even with a specific denial, you're right that the District's answer isn't going to reveal much. While FERPA rights don't disappear just because you initiate a lawsuit, the MSJ and response probably won't be filed under seal.- Texas 2020 general election
+1 to all of these The Sulak race is a poster child for why the party needs to get rid of the ability to just pay your way onto the ballot.- Survivor: Winners at War
Yeah, Natalie had to sell it to the other tribe. Maybe she just thought it’d be good to activate Sandra the chaos agent, particularly since the idol was likely to expire before Nat can re-enter.- Texas 2020 general election
Who the fuck are you arguing with? I didn’t say or even imply that he wouldn’t run. I said it’d arguably be a demotion. - 2020 General MLB off-season
