Yeah, I imagine once the investigation is closed, they’ll stop using “suspected”.

Easier than a constitutional amendment, but it still requires 60 votes in the senate to expand the number of justices in the court.
The sentencing hasn’t happened yet.
It will be appealed… assuming Trump doesn’t win and tear the justice department to shreds.
To get assigned to protect a president? Yes, that’s a pretty tough selection process. The Secret Service has other responsibilities, though. Presidential protection details are just one possible assignment. It just happens to be the most high profile and prestigious assignment. But they were actually chartered as a law-enforcement/intelligence branch of the Department of the Treasury, so they also investigate a range of financial crimes, including (but not limited to) forgery, counterfeiting, wire fraud, etc. At the time that it was decided the president needed constant protection (after McKinley was assassinated in 1901), the FBI didn’t exist yet, or else they might have gotten the job.
There are plenty of states where you can vote without having to show identification at the time of voting. You do have to register prior to voting, though, and that process requires identification and proof of residency. And no, none of this has ever resulted in any significant voting fraud. Between 2000 and 2014 there were only 31 documented cases of voter impersonation in the entire country.
If they don’t jump through whatever hoops they are supposed to to prove they are citizens, then yes, they will be removed from the voter registry. I don’t know if you’ve ever had to prove you are a legal citizen before, but it isn’t super easy. It takes time and money to get the proper documents.
She experienced a lot in her life and was wise beyond her years, which he is part of what made her so popular.
If you ever get the chance to see it, Becoming Dr Ruth is a great one person play that details her life story. Our local theater group hosted it this year and we really enjoyed it.
That’s just to get the articles passed in the house. To get a conviction in the senate you need a 2/3 supermajority. Never happen. But it doesn’t hurt to get people on the record as opposed.
This shit sickens me. It’s an attempt to deprive people of their constitutional right to vote while doing an end-run around due-process. They don’t have to prove anything, just say there’s suspicion and boom, you’re off the registry. And they intentionally do it this close to an election in the hopes that it will help swing the results in their favor. It’s blatantly obvious and I don’t understand how any court lets them get away with it.
2 out of 3 times.
Hemme had a two-year sentence imposed July 16, 1984, and a 10-year sentence imposed October 24, 1996, that were both supposed to run consecutive to the murder sentence, which the court overturned in June. Both sentences were related to violence while in prison.
Are you fucking kidding me? She already served 43 years for a crime she didn’t commit. Now the AG’s office wants to keep her in prison for charges that occurred as a direct result of her incarceration, when she has already served more time than the sentences combined?!?
I can only assume that they’re looking for any possible excuse to keep her in because they’re afraid of the looming civil suit when they finally let her out.
Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025
I don’t think that’s clear at all. He clearly doesn’t want anyone to think he’s directly responsible for it, and honestly that much is probably true (seriously, does anyone think he’s forward-thinking enough to come up with any of it?). But I don’t think he’s said at all that he wouldn’t go along with it if elected.
I feel like that map may be a little misleading. Just because a state doesn’t have a statutory age limit on treating a child as an adult doesn’t mean that is common practice. In most states, the default is that any crime committed by a suspect under the age of 18 is handled by the juvenile court system, where penalties are far less severe, unless some special nature of the crime prompts a court to try the accused as an adult (eg murder or violent rape). A few states set the juvenile cutoff a little earlier.
So it’s more like “we reserve the option to prosecute a child as an adult, but we almost never do”. http://www.jjgps.org/jurisdictional-boundaries
He doesn’t have to prove jack shit if the judge is ordering them to turn over their internal documents as part of the case. The judge might look them over, decide there’s nothing relevant, and dismiss the case, but it won’t matter. The damage will already be done because sources will be less likely to trust them in the future.
Well, their mistake was making public comments that he was guilty of embezzlement. There’s no real evidence of that, and he hasn’t been charged with anything. That’s not to say that he wasn’t involved, but unfortunately for the news organization those statements opened the door for this law suit.
It’s a bad look but he’s not governor anymore so it doesn’t really hurt him to sue them. He doesn’t even have to win. Hell, he doesn’t even have to get his case in front of a jury. If they turn over the documents the judge is asking for, it will do irreparable damage to their news organization.
I feel like that argument is pretty well covered:
The plaintiffs say that the law pushes a denomination of Christianity that applies to only one segment of Louisiana residents — one which “is principally associated with Protestant beliefs and denominations.” The scripture required by the state “differ[s] in meaningful ways from those used by other denominations and faiths that recognize the Ten Commandments as part of their theology, including Catholicism and Judaism.”
“The Act requires this Protestant version of the Ten Commandments to be displayed,” the filing adds, after noting that for many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and “other non-western faiths,” the Ten Commandments “have no place at all.”
This kind of makes me want to take my Renegade pins in a carry-on to see what TSA makes of them.
