Did they fail ... did they?
No, the evil fuckers got what they wanted.
:sobs into yoringe's shoulder:
:enters room: scopes out the stairs, find perch to observe and listen. Notices punch has been spiked, dogs are being stepped on, cat just crapped on the chicken casserole. Grievances are on rolled up sleeves for all to see. Most wonderful time of the year.
And then I said "hey, you think that's bad, the WNRA conference wasn't even televised!"
No but the ABC coverage doesn't get around to the NRA presser content until the fourth paragraph.
You think that's unfair? The WNRA presser wasn't covered at all.
I don't think you can hold * lollipops in your flippers Penguin.
Can you buy those with ass pennies?
I bought this computer last year... never traveled to Vietnam...
Except for the porn sites. Busted!
Do you stuggle?
I struggle with many things in life.
But criminal law thankfully is not one (neither as counsel nor as a defendant)
First the called them union thugs. Now they want them to be soldiers of fortune.
You have to click the link in the linked post. Another sad story of somebody trying to invent a bogus hero persona. Weird.
You are fucked because the jury did not believe the laptop was not yours. Why didn't they believe you?
Do you know anything about how evidence is introduced in a criminal trial? Anything at all?
Clearly not. You don't even get to talk about it. The jury never hears that argument.
Criminal intent is most certainly an aspect of criminality, Dry. Prosecutions must prove this.
That is absolutely not true. It is only true where intent is an element of the crime in the statute.
Here's another example: child pornography.
Some stashes a laptop in your house and tips the authorities, you are fucked.
Strict liability.
And yes sm_landlord, a lot of people have a problem with these draconian laws. But they are on the books, and enforced.
This isn't Gary's fantasy policy, it's the current reality of criminal law in America.
People are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow.
:golf clap:
What are you going to do- simply jail them anyway unless they can prove they are not lying? There is a reason, a very good reason, the burden of proof goes the other way.
Presumptions can be shifted with legislation.
Strict liability.
That cocaine in your house? Presumptively yours. And you will get life for it.
On the other hand if they don't report it for two years - the gun is used in a murder and it is shown they were the last registered owner... they are an accomplice AND their estate is financially liable for damages.
Yes. A lot of good ideas put forth dry. Gun ownership currently has too many unproved externalities. Price them, and gun ownership will decline precipitously.
Yancey, I guarantee you there will gun legislation passed this Congress. I'm not sure yet what form it will take, but the pro gun faction will be beaten bloody (rhetorically speaking).
I know you don't like to be told that, but there it is.
I smell another bet in the offing.
Might be too difficult to structure though. Too many moving parts.
Yancey wants to see nothing done, so his default position is that nothing CAN be done.
I will enjoy the increasingly shrill tone when something begins to move legislatively.
He doesn't have any "privates" hence his obsession with guns.
That guy makes Yancey Ward look like Mandingo.
(I was going to use shill, but no one would believe that guy has a penis either)
but any chance of delivery?
\ pulls pin on grenade, casually tosses into VonBek's foxhole
My theory long has been that those three states benefited most from the bailouts of the banks
I ascribe to your theory, with the caveat that it he effect has a highly uneven distribution. Tonier areas where the bankers live, or wish to, have been largely spared.
Home prices in my neighborhood are higher than ever.
Wayne LaPierre should go home and take a garden rake to his privates.
I'm going to pray on a really thick rug tonight.
If the alternative is Speaker Cantor … pray for Boehner!
mp always a pleasure to see you.
Hmmm ... market cliff diving on Boehner collapse ...
STAT!!!
It is an info war on both sides but what have we created in Libya besides a cluster fluck?
Even better, we've expanded the cluster fluck into Syria.
Nobody ever learns.
Hey thanks tg. If its any consolation … your assessment is correct.
tg, I was against it. And argued with yuan about it here.
He thinks that a liberal government will spring forth.
I think (a) that's nonsense (b) the end doesn't justify the means and of course (c) these bullshit cowboy adventures ALWAYS result in blowback.
"Why Did We Spend U.S. Tax Dollars To Open The Door For Al Qaeda In Libya?" Dennis Kucinich | XRepublic
tg, ask yuan. He's the resident apologist for the Libya adventure.
Apparently he can't write for s--t.
Ever read a Thomas opinion? Apparently his full time clerk can't write for shit either.
WRT Bork - his participation in the Saturday Night Massacre alone should have presumptively disqualified him from the Court.
re: inauguration $.
Guy's never going to run for office again. And doesn't pocket the money. This one is pretty low on the faux outrage meter.
Build your own liberal utopia or conservatarian Tea Party hellscape!
sequestration. If we get it the blame game in the media is going to be an interesting one.
Oh, I welcome these discussions.
For the toolbags here who reflexively hate on Barney Frank:

Barack and Joe going over the cliff with Boehner in the trunk.
:A rousing Bronx cheer for Mr. Boehner:
Ha. Shortest press conference in history? And didn't take a single question. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Hmm. I wonder is there any point at which a gold mining adjunct to a desalinization plant becomes viable?
Hmm. I wonder is there any point at which a gold mining adjunct to a desalinization plant becomes viable?
Fuck Paul Singer.
is that even legal?
Not the way I'd do it.
Days like today, I'm especially grateful for the ignore feature.
As a parent I'm wobbling between nausea and rage.
'flation watch:
This spring, my monthly Mero are will increase to $112. That's up from $76 in just 5 years.
Don't get me started on health insurance and market rents in my neighborhood.
Negative inflation in: my wages.
Tough one to call among the first three options.
