It's somewhat long to post it all for a comment so I'll link it:

Read page 2 of the syllabus where it says "Held:" until page 4 if you want the shorter version.

Otherwise there's a 16 page explanation under the "opinion of the court" section directly after the syllabus, for those who are interested in a longer explanation.

Although a gratuity or reward offered and accepted by a state or local official after the official act may be unethical or illegal under other federal, state, or local laws, the gratuity does not violate §666.

Tldr the ruling only was about in relation to one law. The party may be guilty of a form of corruption under a different law.

TLDR a history of French colonialism which is why people want Kenya at the wheel on any intervention rather than a former colonial power.

I feel bad for Suno's lawyer.

The funny thing is there's a bunch of Portlands, but it's always that particular one.

It was a federal public defender. He saw a route to zealously advocate for his client and he took it. It was a bit of a moonshot, but I'm glad that we have a country where public representation is willing to go as far as he did for his client. Regardless of the circumstances.

Not having legal precedence is hardly a reason to dissent...

Under the Bruen test it is. Even the majority would agree with that. Thomas differed from them by stating that the laws proposed in the main opinion were not relevantly similar enough to the one before the correct.

The test wouldn't apply to the 13th amendment because that's a constitutional amendment, and not a law allegedly impacting a right.

I've found they do tend to be more blunt and straightforward. I think to understand them you have to start from the lens of his that stare decisis is a poor doctrine. Many of his dissents have such strong departures from the main opinion because of this. If you don't presuppose things like the Wickard V Filburn case's impact on the commerce clause dissents like Gonzalez v Raich, seem much more plausible.

There's a number of opinions and dissents he's written that I feel like people here would be surprised to agree with him on. Like in Gonzalez v Raich which he was in favor of legalization of weed.

1/3 of the time the cases are 9-0 anyways.

Safety is the duty of every employee (and employer) on any job site. Film set, factory floor, or office. You have a duty to not unduly endangered your coworkers. If you see something dangerous at your work place speak up. Make your complaint known and make sure there's a paper trail.

The four rules of firearm safety only fail if you break every one at once. And much like punches Hollywood is great at getting camera angles where you really can't tell the difference with gunshots.

HGR definitely didn't do right here but a lot more went wrong. This was a perfect storm of negligence. Multiple people could have taken minor stands to have prevented this tragic tale. So many people spoke out and zero action was taken to address their concerns.

A layered safety approach is a great idea. But it only works when at least one person in a position to do so does what's right.

Pretty solid summarization of the situation. I definitely think that Baldwin's on site safety problems and the seemingly rushed nature of production are going to bite him.

I feel like the habitability requirement might be governing on issues of extreme heat.

The subtext is Todd is too afraid to remake that porn studio in Fallout 2, that was there for some reason.

Unlike the Thebans, Spartans kept their socks on.

Nothing more valuable than shares in a company in such a poor financial state that it can't pay its own settlements.

PCs. Gaming laptop underperform for price, are larger than non gaming laptops, and generally are less serviceable & durable. Just the entire market segment lags behind.

Yes it is. Here's what I think someone concerned with propper capitalization of SCOTUS would not be keen to hear:

"Supreme Court", Guardian. It's a proper noun.

Boy have I got some bad news

It is definitely too low poly. The DMC-12 did it right. Then the Cyber truck tried to copy it without understanding why it worked aesthetically.
