    Sopranos only had 92 deaths? in 7 seasons? Seems low.

    Paulie, definitely. Silvio, maybe.

    Out of those 92 deaths how many were murders done by "a couple of black guys"?

    I always found her face a bit rough but nothing wrong with her body back when they were shooting this. Silvio made a mistake shooting her so quick. I mean she was already in doggie style position when he whacked her.

    Richard Nixon is behind violence in Chicago.

    You know, I had not previously thought about Nixon's role in present day Chicago violence before the Mayor brought it up. That's why he is the Mayor and i will be working on my sprinklers and replacing a pump in my pond after cleaning the scum out. I don't know anything ablout draining swamps, but I sure do about draining garden ponds.

    I think the prosecution did a poor job of articulating their probable cause during the probable cause hearing.

    Some of my concerns might be addressed by trying to write the registration law as a civil infraction law correctable by forfeiture of the weapons rather than a criminal law, but I still have reservationas ablout how this could work, constitutionally. And as you know forfeiture laws have come under constitutional scrutiny the lasst decade.
  10. So you are hoping for one heart attack and one stroke and both gone out of the race. That is actaully a pretty shrewd move.

    Fair enough. Still, perhaps some constitutional scholars might chime in. It might generate interesting discussion. (of course it might just devolve to a sh1tshow, but one can always hope for the best.

    Trump talk only- no Eagles talk allowed (Steelers talk is OK though)

    I don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity while that is happening.

    Very defender of the Alamo of you. With that comparison you are in some august company.

    I appreciate the partial answer. Or maybe it was full. You mentioned law enforcement would have access and maybe you meant that would be the only access so no FOIA requests, but that is less than clear to me. I am wondering if this registration would be moving forward only, or if it wuld be retroactive, applying to all current ownership, not just new purchases. If so I wonder if we have 5th amendment problems against self incrimination, particularly for current gun owners and I wonder about passing a law whose application could raise ex post fato concerns. I am not certain such concerns could not be overcome with careful drafting of legislation, but I would have to think about it. I do think there ae some hurdles here.

    Students Target Teachers on Social Media

    I got back at a teacher I did not like by dating his daughter. I am certain that was plenty of torture for him.

    Make the suspension come with an in depth explanation that goes on their permanent records which will be transmitted to colleges, UNLESS the treacher victimized moves to have the information removed. That would give power to the teachers and would encourage the parents to seek that favor by strongly disciplining their kids and making sure the teacher approves of the disciplinary lesson taught.

    What would be the purpose of this national registry? What information would be registered, the gun's serial number and the owners name, or ballistic information as well so if law enforcement ahs ballistic information at a crime scene and no suspect they could match the information to the putative owner? What would be the legal standard for access to the registry? Could it be accessed through a FOIA request, or would it be limited to law enforcement, and under what standard. Would searching the data base require a warrant?

    So the analysis would be under Terry v. Ohio. As that was not argued by the prosecution in the probable cause hearing the judge, who dresses a bit like Joe Pesci in that second court scene in My Cousin vinny was correct if not right. I support judges bering correct even when they dress like clowns.
  19. I am aware. Frankly I was shocked that it carried the day back then. I still think the Democrats would be up against a time crunch here. If nothing else all politicians are experts in using procedural rules to delay matters. I don't see how this gets done in the present administration's tenure..
  20. We came to this from a two party system where neither party will listen to the other side or broach compromise and where each campaign we are told the election is the single most important one and that if we won't pick the lesser of two evils we have destroyed our country. Just once wouldn't it be nice to maybe chose the greater of two goods? Triangulating for power immediately has given us serious astigmatisms. We became so near-sighted as to be functionaly blind. We do not see the future, though we insist our eyesight seems fine to us, even excellent. We are the land of the blind and we are electing the one-eyed men to be kings. Here's the thing about laughter, about humor, it strengthens our weak eyesight.
  21. I thought we established that this close to an election we cannot possibly vet and approve a Justice. The "Merrick Garland" rule. Also, there is no chance for an investigation and an impeachment proceeding and even if there were there is no way given the close splits in the house and senate that an impeachment would be successful.
