Well, I found the opinion. The issue isn't so much the statutory authority to regulate competition (that exists), but the statutory authority to make substantive rules, as opposed to bringing administrative and judicial actions for enforcement of statutory laws (congress-enacted). According to the opinion, of which I am still skeptical, the FTC admitted, not legally and not in binding way, that it didn't have such rulemaking authority until 1978. I'm not sure I believe that, as I know they have issued rules or guidelines concerning antitrust aspects of IP https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1049793/ip_guidelines_2017.pdf But maybe those aren't substantive rules. And they are issued with the DOJ.

Well according to the Degree Verification link, he did take a class or two in 2004, and maybe previously. SWINDELL, FOREST G.first semester Fall 1983 last semester Fall 2004 However, I know from personal experience that that last could mean nothing more than enrolled. After graduating law school, I stayed in Austin to take the bar. I enrolled for one summer class to get my Student ID validated so I could work out at Rec Sports. I dropped it after getting my ID renewed. Some weeks later, I got some kind of communication from the Registrar that my drop was ineffective because, as the only class I was enrolled in, I had to withdraw from the University. That was weird. And Degrees shows my last semester as the Summer, rather than Spring. /csb

In fairness, when you start having to talk about participles and verb tenses in a statutory construction case, it tends to mean Congress has been a bit less than crystal clear in defining the powers it granted to the Attorney General. If you remove the desired result -- Congress gave the AG power to appoint special counsel -- there's quite a bit of wiggle room here.

Minor point of order, the case was appealed a little over a month ago, in July. This is the government/appellant's brief. Trump's is due in 30 days. This is an expedited appeal and I would expect oral argument within 30 days or so of Trump's brief and a decision a couple of weeks thereafter, so probably October.

Seriously, though, recommending an attorney is a hazardous business. Best way to go about it probably is through people you know who have had some experience. Which is something I suppose you are trying to do here.

Not to mention sounds like all those old dust farts are on Medicare.

The stupid need to feel stupid and inferior again.

Bullshit. She fucked up, It was major questions she was after. §45. Unfair methods of competition unlawful; prevention by Commission (a) Declaration of unlawfulness; power to prohibit unfair practices; inapplicability to foreign trade (1) Unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.

Man, back in the 80s, "club soccer" was a thing, for both boys and girls. And, yes, occasionally, a player would forego the HS team for club pursuits. So it was already heading that way.

I think "travel ball" and the increasing monomaniacal focus on a single sport is contributing to the dumbassedness of a lot of baseball players. I have a friend, close to my age, so old, that was a pretty competitive tennis player in HS and took a scholarship to MIchigan. But he observed that tennis players at that level were just not fun people to be around. Even back then, their lives were full of private coaching, tournament travel and so on an so forth to where they were kind of nuts and psychos. And that's even compared to just being a D1 athlete, which Lord knows is all-consuming. He quit playing tennis except for fun. I have heard similar things from other tennis players my age. And, it seems more and more sports are heading in that same direction. And, of course, it takes a good bit of money to do that, so there are probably accompanying issues of entitlement, etc. Of course, none of this applies to Swindell, also my age, because there wasn't that much extra shit involved in baseball back then, BBI and/or Legion and your HS team.

I'm getting old, and things in the past seem more recent than they are, but it didn't seem like Japorky should have a college-age kid. He's 37, so it's kind of a near thing.

Finally found the opinion, here.. https://www.kywd.uscourts.gov/sites/kywd/files/USA v. Jaynes Memorandum Opinion and Order.pdf It's a pretty nuanced thing. Nonetheless, it does appear that it is something of a new question, so there do seem to be grounds for a solid appeal.

No idea, but I saw this. https://www.durangoherald.com/articles/farmington-high-school-grad-tells-a-story-of-forgiveness/

On the one hand, the team/individual aspect of it can be mentally taxing, as well as keeping track of responsibilities in the on-again/off-again nature of the game. On the other, a lot of the muscle memory required I think can be inconsistent with being much of a thinker. If you are a thinker, you have to be able to turn it off, at the plate at least. And that can give dumbshits kind of an advantage.

As mentioned previously, the infringers' liability is so clear cut, the only thing to argue about is damages. It will settle promptly for a sizable sum.

Motherfucker can't even use the word "lie" properly.

Typically, senior status judges are in the "rotation," but not "one-for-one." So they may get a random assignment every X time where X is something less than the 1/(total number of judges). They also generally have the ability to decline any assignment. Usually, senior-status judges are pretty decent. Seems like this would have a good chance of being reversed, if it's a proximate cause analysis. Things only break the chain of proximate cause if they're not foreseeable. And, execute a bad warrant on innocent people, getting shot at is reasonably foreseeable.

Also loved Fats. Because I already dug this, Cheap Trick was automatic.

Those K-Tel albums that had a lot of the goofy songs, like Charlie Brown, offered a good bit of oldies, too. My favorite Coasters. Poison Ivy lawd can make you itch.

Probably told this before, but Dallas station KLUV 98.7 was always in my rotation as a teen and young adult and especially so because it was the longest-lasting station between Dallas and Austin. So I got a healthy dose of that music and have always enjoyed it. ETA: KLUV remains an "oldies" station (mostly, it has flipped format briefly a couple of times), but "oldies" now means 80-90s. 😬😬

Well, fuckstick I assume is referring to "motor voter" registrations, where you can do it concurrently with renewing a DL. Obviously, fuckstick doesn't know what a clusterfuck DPS is. And maybe we know now why DPS is such a clusterfuck.

That needs to be crammed up his ass repeatedly on the campaign trail.

Eh, fuck that, get you a Ma Deuce. Or maybe one of these.

Well said.

Don't you have to be pretty close to scan a QR code? Closer than most fans get to players most of the time? Seems like a gimmick.
