  1. I agree that rules should require a supermajority to amend or suspend. Otherwise they’re rules in name only.
  2. One’s state being so profoundly racist they won’t issue you a birth certificate doesn’t make a person incompetent.
  3. A system where foreign governments can’t alter voter registrations seems like it should be a priority at this point.
  4. I think it’s more likely he would say “I don’t care what he did, I still far prefer his Presidency to what Clinton’s would have been.” To his “credit”, Tahoe owns that nothing matters more than his political agenda prevailing. It could come out that Trump and the Russians coordinated to hack voter registrations and delete enough Democrats from the voting rolls to swing the election and Tahoe would support that as worth it to win the election.
  5. I reject the premise that it’s possible to go below the belt with someone who sexually harassed his employee or who obstructed justice at the highest level.
  6. Yes, Congress could still just criminalize sports gambling nationally and Nevada could be excepted.
  7. It will still violate UIGEA for books to accept bets from states where it is illegal but they could ip block by state if they wanted to.
  8. There’s no reason it has to look similar to PASPA. Congress can just pass a law that says, “It is illegal to place or receive a bet on any sporting event. This prohibition does not apply in any state where gambling was authorized by state law on or before December 31, 2011.” That would be perfectly fine under this ruling and would prohibit sports gambling everywhere but Nevada.
  9. This decision just requires them to do it directly rather than ordering states to do it.
  10. Adelson only has one US casino outside Nevada (in Pennsylvania) so it’ll be interesting to see if he calls in his chits and gets Congress and Trump to fix the law to ban it everywhere but Nevada.
  11. Opinion is here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-476_dbfi.pdf
  12. 7-2 decision with Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissenting (6-3 in parts but mostly 7-2). Holding is basically that the federal government can prohibit sports gambling if they’re so inclined but they can’t direct states to do so.

    Damn I hope that wasn’t the last episode but it’s been fun even if it was.

  15. It’s not just that you’re bad at math and probability, it’s that your smug about it.
  16. The Supreme Court needs to fix the good faith exception shit. Not necessarily to overturn the good faith exception (although I think they should) but at least to require courts to reach the merits of the Fourth Amendment claim before deciding whether the good faith exception applies. Otherwise, no precedent gets created to guide future courts. The same problem arises frequently in qualified immunity cases. Courts will dismiss a case on qualified immunity grounds based on finding that a clearly established right wasn't violated but then they'll fail to reach the question of whether the persons constitutional rights were violated, even if such a violation was not previously clearly established, so that the right is now clearly established moving forward.
  17. Nice job. What is the current debt? California’s state and local debt is 15% of their GDP, below the national average of 15.7% and below Texas’s 17.8%.
  18. Mine is working except that it double posts 75% of the time. Can we set a short waiting period between posts?

  21. He could have. And doing so certainly would have positively affected his odds. But it would not have affected your odds.
  22. Of course it affects the table, but it’s equally likely to positively affect the table as it is to negatively affect it. By taking an extra card, he was just as likely to take the 7 and leave the dealer with the ten, in which case he would have won you the hand.

  25. This. People who give a shot how others at the table are playing are fucking idiots. Bad players only affect their own odds.
