  1. Temple gets a cool $4M for hiring Diaz for two weeks? Could be worse.
  2. My favorite part about Jerome Corsi is that any time an article mentions Jerome Corsi they show one of those ridiculous selfies he took on his computer camera in his study.
  3. If you guys could avoid cloak rooming up the football thread that’d be great
  4. Even Scalia thought Thomas was too crazy of a conservative. Thomas would take consititual law back to the 1700s if he could.
  5. He's clearly still assembling the ingredients for his cake.
  6. This is almost as good as the time we paid Pepper Hamilton to manufacture all that evidence against Art Briles.
  7. These Baylor tears are all the substanance I’ll need to get me to the weekend.
  8. The fact that we largely have to obtain health insurance in this country through our employer is dumb and an unintended quirk caused by the tax code.
  9. I will say this is the longest a “secret visitor” has ever been kept secret. I wonder if it is someone committed to another school that wouldn’t like him taking another visit. Maybe Marcel Brooks?
  10. I hope you're right, but you have a lot more faith in the 5th Circuit than I do.
  11. I hope you’re right, but I don’t think that’s a given.
  12. Simplifying things, Congress has broad authority to make laws under what is called the commerce clause of the Constitution, which allows it to regulate interstate commerce. Courts have interpreted this power quite broadly (most federal laws are derived from the exercise of the commerce clause), but the arguement against it being valid under the commerce clause is that the ACA regulated economic inactivity - failure to buy insurance - rather than commerce itself. This is a big hot button issue for conservatives as it is a states rights thing. Roberts ducked this question entirely by finding it was valid as a tax. He did not address the commerce clause issue, which was intentional.
  13. That one is still probably a valid exercise of the Commerce Clause? Enlighten me.
  14. You agree with one policy but not the other? The judiciary is being increasingly politicized and there are lots of federal judges. If you’re a republican and you don’t agree with a national policy, you bring the case in the Texas. California if you’re a democrat. Get a favorable judge, and boom, nationwide injunction. It’s bad for the country.
  15. Did you hate it when the district court in Hawaii issued a nation wide injunction on Trump’s travel ban?
  16. Gotta think this is the conservatives throwing up the bat single to Kavanaugh. This random whack job in Fort Worth just threw the entire insurance market into utter confusion right before the new plan year.
  17. Yeehaw! Rationale being that once the individual tax was repealed, there was no longer a constitutional basis for the Act. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do this, but we have a major problem in our country of super partisan district courts being able to completely subvert the federal government. For example, both Trump and Obama have had major legislative action blocked by relatively low level courts.
  18. It's like the Charlie Strong special teams unit ran a collusion campaign.
  19. Seriously Rudy, just have an intern do it. Holy shit pork fingers
  20. Mueller's crew isn't keeping us safe from Rudy's typos
  21. Lulz at the Cohen tweets. Mueller is going to have an iron clad obstruction of justice case.
  22. I guess gas prices is the new stock market.
