    The Supremes

    What women need to do is invent a religion where abortion rights are an important tenant. Because, as conservative america has taught me, as long as you say your opinion is derived from your religion (no matter how tenuous/unsupported your belief is in the actual religious texts), you can do whatever you want and skate a whole host of laws.

    The Supremes

    I had Sandy Levinson in law school and he thought we should just tear up the constitution and start fresh. His argument was that its an old document that doesn't deal with modern problems (meaning, you can read it however you damn well please on issues like abortion, firearms, etc.), pretty short/lacking on details compared to other constitutions, and all the loop holes are known/exploited. There's of course no way to practically accomplish this, but I often think back to his class and how right he was.
  3. Well I'd think the choices would either be vaporized immediately or starve to death over the next 6 months (nuclear winter/destruction of crops around the world), so I'll go with vaporized immediately.
  4. It's been that way literally for decades. It's the status quo.
  5. I cannot express how horrible what is happening in Ukraine enough, but could not agree with this more. And for all the people worried about Russia going after Poland or Lithuania or whatever, do you seriously think Russia will be able to mount a credible invasion/occupation on multiple fronts?
  6. Bet those sales proceeds won't be in rubles.
  7. Ask yourself - do you want everyone in the world to die? Those that don't perish in the initial blast will starve to death or waste away due to radiation poisoning. If the answer to that question is no, and it is for me, then yes, we're 100% sure. Nuclear weapons are terrible, awful things for a variety of reasons. One of them is it creates a lot of latitude for nuclear powers to behave badly before another power is willing to end the world over it.
  8. We should absolutely not implement a no-fly zone. Whatever we do, the number one goal should be no nuclear war and the risk is too great. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is a travesty, but we’re making it painful (although not equitably painful) on them.
  9. For what its worth, I don't read Rubio's tweets as suggesting he thinks Putin will nuke the US. I think he's saying (based on earlier tweets) that Russia may use tactical nukes in Ukraine, which would obviously be a crazy escalation.
  10. Take this for what it’s worth, but I have a family member with 20+ years in Navy intel services. He texted the family that he’d recommend getting 2 weeks of emergency supplies in case of a cyber attack against the grid. Pretty measured guy, so wanted to pass along. Scary times.
  11. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/1498023555975450626?s=20&t=y652__M8iOcbo3RjRjFisw
  12. Stupid question here, but it seems Putin is trying to do this with a limited force. What’s his next move if Ukraine makes this extra bloody and/or embarrassing to him? Seems like Ukraine is holding up well and it worries me how Putin could react to save face.
  13. I mean, if there is literally one thing China cares about, it’s territorial integrity. Catching up on this thread now. All of this is obviously staged, but it won’t matter. Putin pretty clearly helped stage a bunch of apartment bombings (against Russian citizens) like 20 years ago that was even more ham handed and most Russians still bought it. They caught FSB agents in the act and everything.
  14. I'm paranoid about the metadata filters. I work at one of the big shops (I say that only because I presume we have paid for decent software) and sometimes our metadata filter will do weird things to the doc trying to clean a pdf or word file.
  15. Dumb question, but are our admins gumming up the cash cannons and letting A&M outspend us? I keep on reading A&M bought X and A&Y bought Y. Why aren't we buying all the five stars?
  16. I quickly searched and didn't see an 8-K on the acquisition and/or see the merger agreement publicly. Not smart enough to understand the strategy behind taking the position the acquisition wasn't material, but I've seen behemoths file 8-K's on $100M acquisitions before. I'd guess that the business sold for lower than the parties wanted to advertise (could be totally wrong). But shout-out to Shannon and Bobby for negotiating deals where they could flip the same business three times using the same people.
  17. Sure doesn't impact our ability to fire football coaches.
  18. Had to look up who Les Koenning is. Totally forgot he coached here.
  19. Username checks out.
  20. The constitution is like taxes. People feel passionately about both, are exposed to tiny tidbits of each (either through the news or on TurboTax), and develop passionate views about them, often totally wrong.
  21. Totally agree with this. When we had McKinzie committed, it was like...where is he going to play? Almost no chance he stuck at linebacker (even in the SEC) at his size, and then you have to hope he can spin down to a DE.
  22. I interned for a justice on the Texas Supreme Court when I was in law school - his or her child literally had a Ted Cruz for president coloring book.
  23. Clearly didn't offer him enough.
  24. I don't think we've punted in 2+ games (granted, we punted enough in the Arkansas game to last a lifetime).
