  1. Good catch. Yes, senior judges do not count against the "quota' of district judges in a district. They are already retired and take as many cases as they want and the Chief Judge will permit. "Vacancies" of senior status judges are not "filled." To qualify, you must be 65 and served 15 years, or whatever combination of age over 65 and years of service is 80 or more. When one takes senior status, which is optional, one goes off the normal rotation of cases, taking only what you "want." That does create a district judge vacancy. But there's no such thing as a "senior status" vacancy that's filled by a district judge, creating an opportunity for appointment. There's no quota or minimum or maximum of senior judges.
  2. Off-topic, but I didn't realize Axios was dumb/right. A couple of the media bias sites have it rated as truthful with a middle bias. I don't read it real often, but what I have seen seems to fit that. Also, Jonathan Swan's (second?) Trump interview was one of the better examples of someone standing up to the bullshit. But, whatever.
  3. I assume that we all know that illegal aliens or undocumented are not eligible for most of those things. The one exception being states that allow medicaid for undocumented persons. And for it to work for the ACA subsidies, you have to file a tax return and pay taxes.
  4. I really like Squeeze, but not really Tempted. Give me Goodbye Girl, Annie Get Your Gun, or Up The Junction all day. Mr. Lavis in action.
  5. Shitass Saturday.
  6. At least he didn't send a Dillon Gabriel away for Arnold.
  7. Apparently before Huey got canned.
  8. So did Auburn sit Arnold?
  9. Was about to say Mizzou's defense holding up. So, yeah. See you guys next week.
  10. That leads to a broken hip, marrow dislodged in his bloodstream and a huge embolism that makes blood shoot out his eyeballs and ear holes.
  11. As evidenced by that last takeway, even letting him TRY to put it in the air is dangerous.
  12. How about a broken hip and some dislodged marrow?
  13. This is one shitass Saturday.
  14. Does ped u have a dynamic return guy? A niblett?
  15. It is uncanny how live action often blurs the foot into the line but on slow replay it's several inches in bounds.
  16. Haven't watched IU. Fernando is fucking impressive and so are his WR.
  17. Gott im Himmel. Yes, I did think it was fake.
  18. Yeah, their "reasoned" smokescreen is that if everyone were Christian like them, no one would starve. So, let these fine Christians take care of their own. Render unto Caesar. And Belial.
  19. There's probably a cute name for them like Three Stooges or something, but Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin are a pretty formidable array of small, rigorous liberal arts colleges in Maine.
  20. Lekes loche, Miriam. Klafte.
  21. Back on topic some things have become more clear. Remember the indictment alleges that Comey lied about "authorizing" someone "at the FBI" to "leak anonymously." There was some question about who that someone could be. One speculation was Chris Wray, who apparently did leak anonymously, but even according to his testimony to Congress and elsewhere, did so without Comey's prior knowledge or approval. The other person was Daniel Richman, a professor at Columbia, with whom Comey communicated about various things as a friend and consiglieri. And Richman was in fairly constant contact with the press, but rarely, if ever, anonymously. And Richman was not an FBI employee, fairly obviously. He was, however, a "special employee" uncompensated consultant for the FBI. But the terms of his "employment" are murky and it appears that he was not actually so employed in the relevant timeframe. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/more-trouble-for-the-comey-indictment Another hole in the government's already flimsy case. The most glaring problem with the case is that what Comey said to Congress, within the limitations period, was "I stand by my earlier testimony." And that is a statement that is not really capable of being proven false. Certainly not by proving 2017 testimony false.
  22. The quintessential Athens activity. IYKYK.
