    The legal paper, authored by University of Chicago professor William Baude and University of St. Thomas professor Michael Stokes Paulsen, centers on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — a provision that limits people from returning to public office if they have since “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or “given aid or comfort” to those who have. Baude and Paulsen argue that this clearly covers Trump’s behavior between November 2020 and January 2021.

    Tested at the state level:

    A state judge in New Mexico has removed a county commissioner from office after ruling that -- because he participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol -- the U.S. Constitution barred him for engaging in an "insurrection."

    The State Supreme Court dismissed his appeal:

    Griffin tried to appeal the ruling, but the state Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in November. He filed a motion for the state’s highest court to reconsider, which they dismissed this week. Now, Griffin wants to take this to the United States Supreme Court.

    Edit: Skip to 4m 35s for the intro to the video. Video starts at 5m 08s.

    Video was taken November 5, 2020 before the election was even called (November 7, 2020). Roger Stone can be seen with an assistant dictating a letter explaining how alternate slates of electors could be used.

    Transcribed it as best I could (pauses removed):

    Roger Stone (slowly dictating a letter his assistant is seen typing up):

    Although state officials in all 50 states must ultimately certify the results of the voting in their state, the final decision as to who the state legislatures authorize be sent to the electoral college is a decision made solely by the legislature.

    Any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud to send electors to the electoral college who accurately reflect the president's legitimately victory in their state which was illegally denied him through fraud.

    We must be prepared to lobby our Republican legislatures by personal contact and by demonstrating the overwhelming will of the people in each state that this may need to happen.

    Intel said that the deal was terminated “due to the inability to obtain in a timely manner the regulatory approvals required under the merger agreement.”

    The deal required approval from a number of regulators worldwide, including those in China. Chinese regulators failed to approve the deal by a deadline Wednesday, even after Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger traveled to China last month in a bid to win them over.

  • From the site they link to:

    What About Tips?

    If customers have exceptional service, we encourage them to tip our employees at the percentage or amount they feel comfortable with.

    Maybe they should change the "Suggested Tips" with "Had exceptional service? Feel free to add a tip." and start at 5%

    Also, they should be clear if all or part of the "service charge" goes towards employee salaries.

  • Spanish omelette only has eggs potato and optionally onion. But no green peppers!

    Didn't realize there was singular tortilla recipe that applied to Cataluña, Andalucía, Galicia, Extremadura, the capital and other regions. Guess I'll have to let the Spanish side of my family know.

    Just like breakfasts in the US south are indistinguishable from breakfast in the New England States, or Pacific states. /s
