  • If you were writing the article you probably wouldn't get to pick your headline. Headline writing is not an art, it's a boring science of putting it in the most regular and concise of terms.

    He resigned amid allegations of abuse. Those are the cold hard facts. If it turns out that the Christian Monitor how misquoted him or coerced him etc then this outlet might also be liable for claiming something not quite 100% defensible in a court of law.

  • Sadly I think original jurisdiction of SCOTUS means they could choose to jump the line and hear the case. However it would be unprecedented to do so as a) they don't have time to review every state felony case and b) his lawyers have yet to actually make a case that the trial was performed wrongly.

    But in this case, Trump does want an appeal, but probably can't wait til June '25 to have it

  • As others pointed out, a lot of factors would go into this decision. How many working hours can she normally put in if the average client only pays for an hour? How much time does she have to spend cleaning herself up between? How much risk is there in taking a new client?

    Its pretty similar to working freelance compared to a paycheck. If I wanted to go on my own as a freelancer I could probably charge 2-3x my hourly salary rate as a freelancer. But I'd have to hunt for my next meal. I'd have to figure out all my 1099s. I'd have to change stragies to get new clients.... Or I can just work my current corpo job making an OK salary but always know I have a paycheck coming and insurance.

  • My friend was upset about this making it to SCOTUS a few weeks ago. How can the courts suspend your 2nd amendment rights before a trial?

    Well what is a gag order? What is contempt of court? It turns out when you are credibly accused and/or indicted for certain crimes courts ARE allowed to constrain your constitutional rights, when their is good reason, while the court proceedings go along.

    This would be as stupid as letting the dealer keep his bricks of heroine until which time a lab can check and double check that it's indeed heroin.

    Fucking bonkers that someone on trial for a shooting/death threats would be able to KEEP THEIR GUNS.

    Thomas is clearly insane.
