Florida with its Republican supermajority is about to join the gotta provide your ID to do anything Republicans publicly feign indignation over and privately enjoy themselves. So much for less government interference. Hypocrites.

These P25 people are just so…hateful. Carrying all that hate seems like it would not be fun.

Please use that betting money to sponsor the ACLU so they can sponsor a case.

Wasn’t attempting to get anyone to change their mind. Simply pointing out the misstatement in the article.

No phones on in classrooms during class. What parent would not be on board?

“Even if Trump is indicted in one of his legal battles, the polling suggests he could still defeat Biden.”

He’s already been indicted. 4 times.

But also my understanding is there’s nothing in the law requiring criminal conviction for sedition or insurrection or whatever the proper term is. I’m not sure who is supposed to be the determiner of fact. I think that’s why several of the states took it upon themselves. Hence why SCOTUS is almost certainly going to have to determine some of these issues. But I also could be talking out my ass.

If Biden committed the acts and, as of now alleged crimes Trump has been accused of, then Biden would need to be barred too. That’s the difference with Trump supporters, the rest of us want the laws applied no matter which “team” the politician represents. It’s people over party and not the other way around.

Yeah but I don’t think the AG’s office had anything to do with the ruling as it was a civil wrongful death case between private parties, so it makes no sense to bomb AG’s office.

In the US, know that insurance companies hire private investigators to follow and video people making injury claims. Especially higher dollar ones.

Why?

This is wonderfully generous; though, it illuminates the outrageous costs of education in the US. We as a society should value education as intrinsically valuable and even if not, a more educated populace is valuable in so many ways, not the least being economically.

Yes, the comment was about the rule of law and nobody being above the law. Sovereign immunity puts certain people above certain laws (i.e. can’t sue the cop that barrels down the street at 75mph in a 25 mph zone and kills a pedestrian. (Or in some states there are damages caps.)) Any regular Joe would not get such immunity. So, we already have asterisks in our rule of law system–where a certain class of people are not subject to the same laws as others–one being sovereign immunity. Corporate protections arguably being another. A corporation can be guilty of a criminal charge but not necessarily the actual people that made the crime happen, which is seemingly absurd. Or you can’t sue corporate execs individually even if it was their personal actions that led to harm to others, as long as it was done within the course and scope of their employment. For example, upper level execs know they are polluting and causing harm to environment/people. You can sue the company, but you’re likely not going to be able to pierce the corporate veil to get to the execs who actually committed the act.

This is Polk County, Florida, home of the cowboy sheriff Grady Judd who has never seen a camera and microphone he didn’t want to use to engrandize himself. Except for the body worn ones. Polk County residents are not the most enlightened of people. But, never discount there being two sides to every story.

The difference is the issue being discussed. Being discussed is a state seceding from the US. What you are interjecting is a comment on the US’s foreign policy.

I believe he is still under subpoena and could be forced to testify. I could be mistaken, but I believe that just because you’re found in, or convicted of contempt, that relieves a person of the need to still comply with the subpoena. (Or if a new subpoena is issued perhaps.)

If there wasn’t a minimum mandatory sentence, then this is in the judge as well as the prosecutor, both of whom have discretion.

If? It’s already in progress.

That sounds amazing–and terrifying! You’re one of those real life “I bought a boat and just went people.” While I couldn’t do a boat open ocean, one day I hope to emulate you and do something like the Great Loop, and other adventures. Fair winds and following seas.
