SCOTUS has allowed it in courtrooms but on a case by case basis. However, there is some legal connection and history to the 10 commandments being in courtrooms that doesn't really apply to schools. Hard no on this one.
The statute reads:
So they'd have to prove his intent was to commit another crime (campaign finance violation). Things get hairy though as that doesn't necessarily mean he would have to know that concealing the payments to aid his campaign in itself was illegal, but they do have to prove it...
Kind of. Hush money payments themselves are not illegal. Passing them off as a business expense is. That alone would be a misdemeanor. However since the falsified business records were done in order to conceal another crime (campaign finance violations), that escalates the charges to falsifying...
Likely is not good enough. Have to be very specific about what the limits are and even then he is likely to test whether he'll actually get thrown in jail regardless. I'm not sure whether him being jailed for contempt would be good for him politically (ridiculous to even be in this place), but...
Oh it's totally fair to conclude that Trump went under more significant scrutiny as a result of his political career resulting in discovery and civil litigation for fraudulent practices that have been pervasive through his business career.
It's totally wrong to conclude that this means his...
Off the top of my head the lenders lost out on interest payments, he has possibly billions in outstanding debt he may not be able to pay, his business partners and tenants are likely taking a serious hit to their portfolios, legitimate competitors to Trump businesses lost out on opportunities...
Never noticed this at Aldi thankfully. Apart from their somewhat limited inventory, I can think of nothing that isn't better about Aldi than everyone else.
I assume then you are a supporter of expanding funding for immigration court so immigration cases can be appropriately adjudicated according to the law in a timely fashion?
I think Trump cares about getting elected a whole lot more than winning in court. People who support him often do so because they identify with his victim role.
Her lack of denial isn't evidence that a relationship happened. Not addressing it directly is a reasonable strategy in this situation. Let it fade away until the next news cycle. Since there's no way to definitively prove nothing happened even if that's the case, there really is no benefit to...
Realistically, there's not much that anyone reading these articles can say about it. That would require knowledge of what the school/police did to investigate and whether they had a duty to provide something different in the school environment that could have prevented it and failed to provide...
There are extreme cases where prosecution for this kind of thing is justified. For example, if someone sent messages to a friend that they thought the fetus could survive and tried to flush it to avoid responsibility. I'm not saying anything like that happened here. We aren't presented with that...
Do you think it's in the interest of justice to prosecute a woman in these circumstances?
Legally, if the fetus was not viable, is it even a corpse to begin with?
22 weeks is not potentially viable without immediate major medical intervention. A traumatic miscarriage is way different than the circumstances I could imagine felony abuse of corpse statutes were intended to cover.
Indeed there has been a lot of abuse of people with mental illness, and our society has no functional way to incorporate a huge group of individuals. We have a hard enough time functionally meeting the psychological needs of our society at large much less robust interest in the most vulnerable...
That's what happens if someone has an illness that may be treated successfully to restore competency. Maybe the hope for success makes no difference at all. They do get to leave when they've served/ been hospitalized for the maximum possible sentence, though. Sickeningly, that wasn't always...
It's always been clear that Kemp hates Trump and wishes he never had anything to do with the party. He's still a complete sell out to Republican power in general.
Wow I'm not sure what happens in these situations. I'm familiar at least in GA with attempts to restore competency to stand trial, but if someone has a permanent disability where they would never be successful, then what?
Harsher punishments are not more effective deterrents unless they are extremely severe. As you point out, a conscientious person need only face a reasonable consequence in order to change their behavior. For such a person, facing an unjustly harsh punishment may actually backfire. What actually...
I listen to sports talk radio. Not because I learn anything. I guess I prefer conversation to music most of the time and a lot of times would rather something that doesn't require active listening.
I am having trouble reconciling this view with actions to suppress speech on the right, e.g. book banning, don't say gay law, etc.
I think the challenge is that the argument becomes trivial when we talk about absolute positions. Very very few people would argue for an absolute theocracy.
Obama did a great job of connecting with non-racist non-hard-right Americans. I could understand an argument that his worldliness disconnected him from the everyday American, but there isn't evidence to support this view.
The decision not to keep witnesses under seal is horrific, and unfortunately there is a lot that Cannon can and likely will do to fuck this whole thing up, the least of which is delay the trial. Now, she did set the trial for August, but that is and always was a placeholder and legal requirement...
The biggest problem is that he doesn't listen to people with a lick of sense and has plenty of people in his ear that are willing to tell him what he wants to hear instead. In this case Tom Fitton.
