I think new judge steps in where old judge left off. Doesn't mean previous rulings couldn't be reheard. But I don't think Cannot, er Cannon, is going to be replaced, if I were called upon to predict the future.

Okay, so she denied the motion to dismiss, but that doesn't foreclose her sending the issue to the jury on the PRA. Asking them to submit jury questions is just dumb. Just ask for a trial brief on the issue of the interplay between the PRA and Section 793 if you want to learn something. Or, I don't know, research it yourself, your Honor. But as a generalization: Did facts happen = fact question (jury). Does law apply to certain set of facts = legal question (court). What is the law = also a legal question, but cannot be misapplied. To the ELEVENTH! No stay.

Right. Isn't that the subject of the dumb jury instruction submitted by Donald?

Under ordinary circumstances, I tend to agree with the idea that you don't lock down jury instructions at this stage of the proceedings. But trial judges also tend not to ask the parties to submit jury instructions (or briefing thereon) at this stage of the proceedings. So to the extent that she is entertaining an instruction that does not comport with the law (despite her statement that she is not) and to the extent that such an error (if she gave that instruction) could not be appealed be the government since jeopardy already attached, her refusal to rule might be properly subject to mandamus review. She brought the question about the jury charge. Her saying now that it shouldn't be interpreted as anything but her trying to learn about this novel case is like her holding a lighted match near a pile of gasoline soaked rags and saying, "Don't worry. I just wanted to see if these matches were any good."

A guy I work with is married to a woman from El Salvador. I know they went there several years ago. I'll see what he has to say.my friend: Edit: Per my friend: "Ruta de las Floras in Juayua! They have Los churros there (7 waterfalls), coffee plantation tours, hike volcano Izalco, cerro verde, lake coatepeque, markets in Merliot." He's trying to think of more. They had a great time.

Same in Texas. Just is listed as the "respondent" but has not real role in the appellate proceedings.

And the drums

Oh, you're likely to hear me yell from hundreds of miles away.

I'll try to give the short version from the weight loss thread. Back in 2019, after having surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon, I ballooned up to 249 lbs. Once my arm healed, I got back to working out and trying to eat more healthily, but couldn't get it kick-started. I got a prescription from my doc for Ozempic (covered by insurance) and within no time, dropped 20 lbs. From there, I stagnated for the next year. You just get used to it. After a year, we upped the dosage from 0.5 ml to 1.0 ml. Over the next three months, I lost a couple of pounds, but no major changes other than even more heartburn/GERD. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I developed intractable hiccups. I'm talking, hiccups for three hours (bad hiccups), which would abate for an hour and start again. I was prescribed Thorazine, which did nothing to abate the hiccups and made me feel awful. I stopped that after a day or so. My doc said to discontinue Ozempic, but because it stays with you for a week or so, the hiccups continued. After about 5 days of it, I stumbled onto a Reddit where the OP said he had this problem and resolved it (after an ER visit) by taking a probiotic (Lactobacillus). Desperate, I picked some up, took two, and another two before I went to sleep, and it worked. I had maybe one more bout of hiccups, which abated quickly. I've been taking about 4 Billion cultures of Lactobacillus daily since then. I worried about coming off Ozempic and putting the weight back on as most people do. I got very serious about my diet (during the week) and, over the next four months, I dropped another 30 lbs and have leveled out at just above/below the 200 lbs mark. Honestly, I'd like to lose a little more, but I'm not taking Ozempic ever again. Intractable hiccups was quite convincing on that score. As with any medication, YMMV Edit to add that my non-medical opinion is that because Ozempic causes the amount of time food spends in your stomach to increase, over time, your gut flora/fauna gets pretty wrecked and a daily probiotic would be a good idea.

It won't be open.

Put another way, a trial court has no discretion in determining what the law is or applying the law to the facts.

FIFY

Correct. She asked them to submit competing questions. She's sitting on the issue, wasting time. He needs to move her off of high-center. So he's now asking her to make a ruling so that he can have a (presumably) adverse order on which to base his petition for writ of mandamus.

Cross-repsonding. Is this a remote position? Asking for a fiend.

You can send it to me, and we can both watch it tank together.

Doubtful. But he's not going to trial with those jury instructions without rulings from higher courts.

What were his health reasons for retiring?

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

I insulted no one but Trump. LCdS are amazing.

Where have I seen that facial expression before? Ah, yes! It all makes sense. This investment opportunity seems appropriate for the penny-wise.

Breaking Bad did it better. If we could just get Dark Brandon's face superimposed over the Walter White stand-in in the video, we'd be onto something. Democrats: "the colour is BLUE; the quality is pure."

Can't remember if I posted this before, but it might be worth a repost.

One Christmas (1989), my grandfather recorded the pay-per-view of the Stones' Steel Wheels show where Axl and Izzy came out and did Salt of the Earth with the Stones. It was pretty sick.
