The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

This entitled twit does a huge disservice to the real victims of sexual assault. Her politically or neurotically motivated charges, after eight years of silence on the matter are self-serving and offensive. What does she expect Stanford to do...take away the guy's degree? Send the campus police to arrest him? Throw poo?

This Stanford Alum Says She Was Raped 8 Years Ago, Demands a Title IX Investigation

Imagine, for example, if there was evidence that needed to be collected or people that needed to be spoken to promptly in an investigation like this...Time is an issue, and I feel like they were just very much dragging their feet.
The arrogance and lack of self awareness on display here is frightening. I have no problem with Stanford getting dragged through the mud, but some poor schmuck may have a huge public relations problem rearing its ugly head, and maybe even a legal one.

It is this kind of behavior that has shifted the paradigm of sexual assault from one of reflexive sympathy for the victim to one of wariness and suspicion of any charge not backed up with incontrovertible evidence. It is partly a result of the current wave of feminism that demands total obeisance to Woman as the superior sex, and then at the same time demands assistance and accommodation and recognition that Woman is vulnerable and weak and incapable of anything without societal assistance.

That's just nuts, and I reject it.

******

Michael Totten is a NeverTrumper, but he makes a good point here.
The Case for Bombing Assad
Bombing Syria over President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons in Douma last week—as President Donald Trump promises to do—is almost an absurdity. Nearly half a million people on all sides have been killed in Syria since the civil war erupted in 2011, barely 100 of them by the regime’s most recent sarin attack. Assad can mass murder civilians by the hundreds of thousands with exploding barrel bombs packed with shrapnel, but he can’t gas 0.01 percent as many with a nerve agent? It barely even makes any sense and seems driven more by an emotional reaction to ghastly reports on television than anything else. And yet it makes sense. The use of any and all weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the world must remain taboo, and it can’t remain taboo if it isn’t punished.

The Guardian, naturally, misses the obvious question and instead runs to a conclusion about 'increasing tribalism in the modern world.' Fits their Cultural Marxist viewpoint, you see.

The obvious question is 'What would 'tribalism' be like today if we didn't have manipulators pushing groups this way and that to foster it?'

Dake says that the Stanford football player who raped her did so in
the spring of 2010, on a night when she was too drunk to consent to sex.
"I woke up naked in my roommate's bed in a puddle of my own urine,
vaginally sore and confused after a night of drinking," Dake told The
Daily.



This chick (a classmate of one of my daughters at Stanford, btw) is nuts. She is complaining now about the fruits of her own bad judgment and misbehavior, claiming a very drunk guy with whom she had sex eight years ago is guilty of rape. Rape! He should sue her ass, except he'd never get a fair hearing.

You're not allowed to say that anymore.

It's victim-blaming or something. Even to give this as advice. To do so is to be a "rape apologist" because women are magically supposed to be allowed to do any dang thing, even walk down the street in their birthday suit, without being sexually assaulted (or even criticized, subjected to the rapey male gaze).

65 I don't know who used poison gas in Syria, and I suspect that at least some of the victims portrayed on TV are faked. The terrorists over there just love to do that (remember green helmet guy during the Israel conflict?) I'm guessing most if not all of the little kid pictures supposedly dead from Sarin were just posed little kids. Its 100% certain that the soulful pleas of the little girl in broken, blatantly scripted English was all bullcrap.

But someone used Sarin gas in an attack, and that's an evil that needs to be punished.

86 Before I give her charge more than a "bullshit" I would prefer some actual evidence.

She got drunk, had sex, then regretted it. Or...it is completely made-up and she is even nuttier than I originally thought.

But without evidence it's just a story.

100 I'm not going to assume the Stanford girl is making things up and I do understand the reluctance and the pressures that can make someone keep a rape quiet. But after that long... its too late. There's a very good reason that statutes of limitations exist. You cannot just keep quiet about stuff for so long that any hope of possibly getting justice can be reached by human beings, or you miss the chance to catch them.

Its an awful tragedy if you were a victim then don't speak up for so long that they get away with it, but that's how it works. You have to speak up. And the longer you take to do so... the less people are likely to buy your tale to begin with.

101 Is there now "consensus" that it really was Assad using the chemicals? idk, but there were many absolutely sure it was a "false flag" and that Trump had sold out to the neo-cons.

I really don't know, but there is supposedly a LOT of evidence, and some is being declassified, that indeed Assad with Putin's awareness, if not complicity, did use chemicals, and is developing chemicals.

The allegedly in the know claim this was a McCain/DeepState operation, and their al Qaeda friends in the region are behind it. And Trump just went along with it to throw them off balance, since they have to be against anything Trump is for.

There does seem to be a sort of strategic message against WMDs, standing for that red line Obama failed to defend. And that message may be more for North Korea, and the spread of nuclear tech to Iran, than any indication that we will get deeper into Syria (though it seems we are still there for now).

The (expensive) attack MAY have revealed that Putin will back down (paper tiger with nukes?), and may have encouraged lil'Kim to make a real deal to give up his nukes and maybe even open up his hermit kingdom.

But there are so many counter-narratives, really hard to say.

109 I call bullshit on all these chicks who have zero memory of having or what led to them having sex. If you can keep yourself from driving, you can keep yourself from having unwanted sex. I did plenty of drinking as did my friends and NONE of them ever even suggested that they didn't "remember" having sex. Sometimes they regretted the person with whom they squanked, but that was more of a "what was I thinking!" thing than an assertion they weren't compliant. Occassionally someone would suggest the guy had been too insistent, but that they'd given up, not that they'd struggled, screamed and were literally raped. This business of "re-remembering" an event through a new lens is bs.

The Muzzies have the headscarf. Traditional Catholic nuns wear veils. Orthodox Jewish women cut their hair and wear wigs after they are married.

Why? Because women's hair, especially long hair, increases female sexual allure. Cutting it all off signals that you are completely unavailable to all men except your husband (nuns are" married" to Christ.)

Which is why the feminists are doing it. Except they have no husband, either earthly or heavenly. It's a rejection of all men.

171 I studied German for 3 weeks in Dresden (Goethe institute). Small class - 12 students. Me (USA! USA!), 2 Frogs, a Scot (couldn't understand a thing he said in English), couple of Chinese, and 6 Arabs. Several Arabs worked in hospitals and had to learn German. One was an IT guy. The Arabs' English was adequate to excellent -- the IT guy was Libyan and there was a Saudi who spent a lot of time in Texas, both excellent in English. The Arabs were generally friendly with me, especially the Saudi, and while they were Muslim, they sure didn't abide by the usual restrictions -- no middle of class prayers, they drank, ate pork, etc. 3 of the 6 Arabs' German sucked and didn't improve; 2 were ok. The Libyan was the best in the class (I was 2nd :-> and he took it seriously -- all the while frantic about what was going on back home what with Hillary destabilizing it (this was 2012 I think). Still, I have no reason to believe that guys like these and in that story are the rare exception over there.

Pretty shameful stuff. Reminds me of a friend from high school I mentioned recently. Best athlete in the school. We were having a party on the school grounds to celebrate graduation and the cops were leaving us alone. TG. All kinds of booze flowing. A girl I always liked walked up to me and hugged me, she was really, really tanked. I was feeling alright and would have pursued something with her but this guy after a minute or too peeled her off of me. He was watching out for her that night. He had a girlfriend (who he married within that year), but she wasn't there for some reason and he took it upon himself to watch out for this girl.

Heck of a nice guy. Played a couple years in AA and AAA ball but must have ruined his arm.

Not all guys are dicks, but the few that are deserve a punch in the throat.

Yeah, I think that's more a guy thing. I find that situation to have occurred more often among those who had had sex with someone they weren't too attached to before. For those of us (females, I think) who were not used to having indiscriminant sex, the idea that I'd have sex with a random guy, no matter how blasted, would not have been possible. You either see it as something casual, or you do not. There isn't really a "whoops! I forgot I don't sleep around!" thing.

I have a vivid memory from when I was a kid in the Philippines. I'm walking down this path, it's near dusk, and something is coming down the path towards me. It's small and dark and I can't quite tell what it is. I stop, it keeps coming.

Several seconds later I figure out it's a very large tarantula. I start backing up, and I guess I startled the thing because it JUMPED off the path to the side. This thing probably leaped a good 12 feet.

I had no idea they could jump like that.

Sure, and I get that, but its not always that age. A LOT of women just change their hair after marriage, lop it all off and the guy just is sad. There are ways of keeping your hair long for your man and keeping it up and out of the way when older, too though.

It certainly seems feasible, and there was not just the McCain pics with al Qaeda guys, and the Libya transfer of weapons to ??? bad guys ... but there are so many "private contractors" with possibly nefarious connections/loyalties.

On the other hand, if there is any validity to what Trump is (hopefully) accomplishing with the Norks, then a "brush back pitch" to Putin/Assad/Iran may have been a wider message, while Trump will still maintain that he does not want our military occupying Syria (the message being for Norks to give up the nukes, and maybe even end the long war with the South. Keep the nukes, and an even wider attack may be forthcoming. This may already be worked out?)

244 >>well, this chick was raped, and i don't care how drunk she was, she made a mistake, but that should never have happened.



You're absolutely right, willow.


As the left likes to do, they have muddied the important distinctions with rape.

People like this girl don't deserve to be raped, nor is it all her fault she was raped. However, there's also this idea of responsibility in that you are conscious of not creating the opportunity for rape, or any other crime against you.

For example, if you leave something valuable in an unlocked car (and it's visible), and it's stolen, did you deserve it? No, but you also created the opportunity for it to be easily stolen. Same goes for, say, getting mugged while walking in a bad part of town at 2:00am.

What the Left is doing to young women is convincing them that they have no responsibility - and really, no personal control - over being raped. As any security expert, such as Gavin de Becker, would tell you is that this is far from the truth. Crime can happen to anyone, but there are many things one can and should do to protect themselves from being the easiest target.

That is insidious.

Yeah the "she was asking for it" defense was evil and monstrous, and never should have ever been presented. It doesn't matter how a woman acts, rape is never excusable or okay. Ever.

However, that doesn't mean a woman can act however she wants, dress however she wants, and say whatever she wants and expect no consequences.

The big case around this was the one that Jodie Foster made the movie about: she went alone into a bar full of guys, dressed in scant clothing, danced around and ground on guys and objects in a blatantly sexual manner. I don't know exactly what was on her mind, but that was irresponsible and stupid to an extreme level.

Raping her: wrong
Acting like that: also wrong and stupid.

Yeah, well mine is so full "unsmoothed" that if I cut it off, I'd have to smooth more or look like a permanent Q-tip or electrocuted. I cut it off in the early 90s in the "scrunch with product" era and the pictures are a.w.f.u.l. Had to explain to the kids how it was "the style."
That said, my mom is always on me to cut it. Keep trying to explain to her that then I'd have less control over volume, not more.

259 A lot of people tend to think of "Statutes of Limitations" as Get out of Jail Free Cards, and don't really understand why they exist.

Statutes of limitations vary state by state; I don't believe they ever apply to murder and usually not to other major felonies, such as rape. (although they usually DO apply to sexual assault, a lesser charge than forcible rape) The reason they exist is because, since before the founding of this country, it has been recognized that after a certain amount of time has passed, it is almost impossible for a defendant to be able to establish his innocence or counter an accuser's claim against him. One of the tricks back in the days of the Kings that could be used against political dissidents was to bring a charge of Crimes against the Crown that supposedly had happened 30 years before, with a string of State supplied witnesses who would all agree that the dastardly thing had been done. Of course no defendant could ever come up with any credible witnesses of his own when so much time had passed, and it was a great way to lock up an opponent (or force him to flee the country)

Statutes of Limitations exist so that the government Can't Do That.

It has a lot to do with your hair, some hair is so fine and soft it won't stay up in any reasonable way, so you can't manage it or control it. That's probably a good time to cut it neat and shorter, something that is out of the way and doesn't take hours a day to keep neat.

As I bystander, should I call the police if I suspect a man is engaged in sexual activity with a female that has reached the legal level of intoxication?

I did once call the police to intercede during a situation in which I believed a female patron had been drugged by her male companion who was not her husband, but I don't know that I really understand what the law would have me do.

Up to this point, I always kinda filtered it through my own "common sense" filter. If I thought somebody was messed up, I would get their girlfriend to address the situation or perhaps another friend or even talk to the guy that was attempting to score.

289 Another legal item related to statutes of limitations, which this Stanford accuser also got wrong - if you have suffered from a crime, whether it's a theft, an assault, or any kind of personal crime against you, you have a duty to make law enforcement aware of that within a reasonable amount of time. (that time period varies by jurisdiction) That both helps to protect fellow citizens by alerting police that someone dangerous may prey on them, and also allows the police to gather evidence and establish witnesses while such may still be found.

Certainly victims may feel trauma and have some hesitation - but 8 years? Nope, that much of a delay destroys the ability of anyone in law enforcement to establish any kind of case, other than a he-said, she said. If you wait that long, you forfeit your right to have your case heard in our courts.

Here's my tinfoil hat theory: This is to enable them to deem all men rapists, and to destroy normal heterosexual relationships. Also, it invites a third party - the state, the college Title IX compliance officer - into every relationship.

Feminists claim all men are rapists by default ("teach men not to rape") while all women are unprotected innocents with no agency. That, and encouraged to have as much sex as they want (be a slut!). Therefore, they need someone else to oversee their hookups, with consent forms, investigations on bad sex, etc.. The state is their protector.

314 As I bystander, should I call the police if I suspect a man is engaged in sexual activity with a female that has reached the legal level of intoxication?"

I can tell you the problems that even police run into in these situations. A local cop came upon a couple, obviously intoxicated, partially unclothed but also fighting and yelling in a car in a dark parking lot. Thinking this was an assault, he ordered the guy out of the car, and he kind of confusedly complied. Guess what happened next? The woman who was supposedly being assaulted reached under the car seat, pulled out a pistol and tossed it out the window to her boyfriend, who was facing the cop.

Luckily he was surprised too, so he dropped it and they just both went to jail, but that could easily ended up with a couple of dead bodies. When you see a fighting drunk couple just think Danger, Danger, Danger! Half the time they want nothing better than someone else thy can both focus all their aggression on.

That's not your fault. If a group of people keeps being responsible for horrendous crap, particularly people who are living in a community and seem safe enough, after a while every sane person must begin to suspect them all.

And that's no the non-crazy ones among them. Its their responsibility to turn in, to stop, and to correct the crazy ones. Its on them to loudly and publicly oppose this, work to stop it, and protect their home. If they do not, then what's everyone to think? Eventually you start to figure there ARE no non-crazy ones, only ones who won't personally take that final step, but tacitly endorse and protect it.

If being against activist judges means that our judges aren't activist and theirs are, then fine. I'm no longer anti-activist judges.

The left defined the rules of engagement here and they say they're going to use activist judges, then I want to too. Anything else just means we're going to gradually lose to their judicial activism.

They camp in the paint, travel, break pretty much every rule in the game, and almost always the calls are for them in any conflict.

422 Gorsuch is already selling us out. It sure didn't take long.

http://tinyurl.com/ybv9jnfn

Just read through the opinion, and Gorsuch was right. I'm a bit disappointed that it wasn't 9-0. Gorsuch actually made a very judicially conservative ruling.

If you want to understand true conservative judicial philosophy as it has been practiced for centuries, you have to start with the acceptance that the actual outcome of the case means nothing - the outcome must be inconsequential to your decision, which must ONLY be based on the Law and (in America) the Constitution.

a LIBERAL judicial philosophy means that you ALWAYS decide what outcome you want first, and then you twist meanings and reasonings to come up with your desired outcome, no matter how warped that may be. (Example: "penumbras" and "emanations" in the Roe V. Wade decision)

It is so sad that so many on our side have so internalized liberal judicial philosophy that they now also think that Outcome is all that matters, screw the reasons.

In the case of the Gorsuch ruling, the Black Letter Law said that deportation was allowed for Crimes of Violence. Burglary has always been defined as a crime against property, NOT a "Crime of Violence". BUT in this case the Feds argued that the defendant was guilty of an aggravated felony, and most aggravated felonies are violent, so he must be guilty of a "Crime of Violence" and he could be deported under this law.

No. Common sense, brush away the verbiage, and no, while he was guilty of a felony, he was not guilty of a commonly defined crime of violence, and thus this particular law should not have been used in his case. Gorsuch was right on this one. It doesn't matter what the outcome was, if you worry about the outcome you have corrupted your reasoning.

The answer to this situation is NOT to have Judges unilaterally change the law to do what we think should be done because other judges will then turn it back against us the same way. The Answer is for Congress to write a law, which is their Constitutional Duty, to make deportation the outcome for all of those who have committed felonies, whether violent or not. They should have done that in the first place.

Uh, no.

All they need to do is decide the constitutionally of the law that is in the case before them. If the law is somehow faulty, it is up to the legislature, not judges, to fix it.

At least, that is the conservative approach.

It is the progressives who always jibber jabber about the "broader consequences" of the law and whether it's "beneficial" for everyone. And, naturally, by "beneficial", they mean "in accordance with progressive social policy."

428 One side note about drinking and blacking out. As some of you may know, my husband is a functioning alcoholic. (This is a whole other story.) BUT -- one thing that took me forever to figure out is that he drinks until he blacks out. And black outs don't mean you pass out -- you simply stop forming short term memories. Sometimes, it's super obvious -- like he'll repeat the same thing 3 or 4 times in a row. But a lot of times, it isn't apparent at all. He seems normal-drunk (maybe not even *that* intoxicated) at night, but then has zero memory of anything the next day. So he'll ask me to pay a bill or tell me about something going on at work that we literally discussed in detail the night before.

IT'S WEIRD. It's also almost impossible to realize unless you're very familiar with alcoholics.

So, long story -- chick could have been binge drinking and blacked out and the dude could have no indication that she was anything more than drunk.

445 back in the era of Todd Akin there were a couple of headlines that brought about his statement of real rape that got him banned from civilization

One was a story of a young girl having a relationship with a preacher's son and the other was a woman claiming she had been raped years before after coming to the conclusion it bothered her so much she felt violated.

The one with the preacher's son went to the responsibility of the congregation to take ownership of the damages.

The one with the woman claiming rape well after the fact went down the path of determining what real rape was vs. a couple having a consensual relationship and then she gets mad about it long after the relationship was over.

I don't recall how either ended but I do know they set the table for Todd Akin getting his ass handed to him by a wave of public opinion that washed over him. Appears we are back to that place.

I generally prefer my hair to be long enough to put up or in a pony tail just because I can get more "looks" with it.
You can't vary the look of short hair much.

OTOH, short hair is much better when you start hitting the bottle --- I mean coloring hair to cover or tone down the gray. (Not that many 29 yr olds need to do this!)

But as for short hair being anti-sexual, bah. There are plenty of soft, feminine short cuts and plenty of women with long hair that style it severely.

It was Congress that said to deport for violent crimes (and hence became deportation ONLY if they committed violent crimes, which is as wrong as two left nuts). They screwed up. It should be deportation for being here without authorization, and that should be the standard. But the idiots on Capitol Hill introduced feelz into the law.

Gorsuch followed precedent and the Constitution. Vague law is bad law, and can and will be abused. We need to go back to deporting all illegals for the crime of being here illegally. End of story.

The facts of the case seem pretty simple. James Garcia Dimaya is a permanent resident who lawfully immigrated from the Philippines in 1992. He has two burglary convictions that don't involve physical violence. The BIA ordered him removed from the US based on the two burglaries. He appealed.

Posted by: bonhomme at April 17, 2018 12:41 PM (iv0p7)

479 @422

I have actually started reading some of the background material on this.

He was convicted of first degree burglary, which requires aggravating circumstances as being armed with a weapon or having assaulted someone during the commission of the crime.

So this would easily fit the definition of a crime of violence.

So it would seem that Gorsuch decision is completely illogical and pendantic.

Bingo."

As we keep trying to say, the man in question was a LAWFUL immigrant - he was not an illegal. There is a law stating for what reasons a lawful immigrant can still be deported, that was the law that was in question. The ruling was that the law was too vaguely written to be enforceable. The Solution is for Congress to re-write that section of the law.

You should pause and reflect on the dangers of allowing a law that is too vague to stand, especially in the area of law enforcement. Agencies LOVE for laws to be as vague as possible, because that means that the law means no more or no less than what any bureaucrat at any given time thinks that it means.

____________________

The law is poorly written. The idea that the U.S. can't deport a legal-resident foreigner who has two felony burglary convictions because he wasn't convicted of a "violent crime" is lunacy.

A few years ago there was a case in Massachusetts where an illegal alien had twice been convicted of armed bank robbery. The bleeding heart judge sentenced him to just under a year in jail, so that he could avoid being deported. As soon as the punk got out of jail, he burglarized the home of two Boston doctors and murdered both of them.

I worked with a gaggle of muslim kollidge students from Iran in the late '70's. They were extremely condescending towards the rest of the employees and dismissive of all the rules. I even caught one of them clocking one of their buddies into work when he wasn't there.

They also all took days off to fly out to the recently deceased Shah of Iran's mansion in Glorious Peoples Republic of Kalleefornia to protest. I thought, "WTFF? Why are you protesting anything in my country when you're not from here?"

Overall, they were a bunch of assholes and taught me and everyone else that muslims hated America but were more than happy to take whatever they could from us.

They cannot be trusted. At. All. They're steeped in muslim death culture from birth. It's like thinking you can control a recently captured wild animal: it's best to keep them at a safe distance, preferably behind a large fence.

523 Okay, I'm looking at what is defined as a violent crime under what our betters have decided, and boy is it disconnected from reality. It seems to be more based on how long you can be jailed (felony with a sentece of more than one year, which makes most white color crime a violent felony), rather than if the crime itself was violent.

Anyone may correct me if I'm wrong. I very well could be.

Thomas has ruled a few times in a manner that I disagreed with, but he is still by far the best judge on the bench. But what scares me has said a couple of times now he would like to retire and go home.

528 What sate did the original burglary occur in?

Posted by: rickb223 at April 17, 2018 12:54 PM (tu/2g)

529 498 That clarifies things, then. Congress needs to define the term 'violent crime' if they are going to use it in lawmaking. Have they? If not then they need to. If they have, is burglary included?

--

"A violent crime is defined as a crime committed with an assault weapon."
_________________________

They should not require that the resident alien has committed a violent crime in order to be deported.

Why should we reward foreigners who are committing "non violent" crimes in the U.S. like fraud, embezzlement, burglary, prostitution, drug crimes, etc., by letting them stay here after they are convicted?

Getting legal residency in the U.S. is a privilege. If the privilege is abused, the foreigner should be deported.

The law should say that ANY felony conviction, and more than one misdemeanor conviction, will result in mandatory deportation.

Posted by: TrivialPursuer at April 17, 2018 12:54 PM (fqUgw)

530 He was convicted of first degree burglary, which requires aggravating circumstances as being armed with a weapon or having assaulted someone during the commission of the crime.

So this would easily fit the definition of a crime of violence.


Looks like 1st degree burglary in CA has four elements that have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt:

the prosecutor must show that the defendant:

1) Entered
2) A dwelling
3) That was inhabited and
4) Had the intent to commit certain thefts or a felony.

Inhabited doesn't even necessarily mean they were home at the time of the burglary. The "certain thefts" part can mean petty larceny and grand larceny.

549 To a certain degree, law has to be vague because you cannot possibly list specifically and in detail every possible variant of crime. So laws are written using specific terms and structures to attempt to encompass a logical collection of related acts which lawyers then attempt to prove don't apply in their client's case.

The problem here is that to properly apply this law you need just, honorable, and wise people.

The term crime of violence means-
(a)
an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or prop­erty of another, or


(b)
any other offense that is a felony and that, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense.

Posted by: joncelli

That is the very basis of conservatism, preserving those qualities and values which have evolved over five or ten thousand years of organized human existence.

'Progressives', of course, regard such things as bars to their hedonistic self-indulgence. Virtually all of the disciplines which lead to a civil, stable, polite, and prosperous society are, for them, stumbling blocks.

They have spent their entire lives in a protected and undemanding environment, and assume that that is the natural state of things, and is to be exploited for their enjoyment. They are preoccupied with 'rights' and 'privileges' as opposed to duties and responsibilities.

I once had a guy scoff at my perspective as 'Victorian'. I was hugely amused, and replied, "Oh, rather than Stalinesque?"

I often hear the Lefties refer to conservatives as 'Reactionary'. Well, gee, yes. It is natural when someone is intent on destroying the underpinnings of civil and stable society to react.

It should be obvious that if you have more stuff than you need that someone will come along and relieve you of the burden of carrying all that stuff, for the good of the community, and the common good. Especially if that person wants that stuff more than you do.

Yes, that's why the Boston judge made sure that the sentence he gave to the illegal alien bank robber was just under the 1-year mark. Apparently, getting convicted of a crime and sentenced to a year or more in prison would have made the illegal alien subject to deportation, and the judge didn't want to risk that.

Had the criminal been a white American citizen, the same judge would have thrown the book at him and given him the multi-year sentence that a two-time armed bank robber deserves.

And again, that illegal alien armed bank robber served his less-than-a-year joke of a prison sentence, got out, committed an armed home invasion, and murdered the two doctors who lived in the home.

But yeah, illegal immigration is a totally victimless crime, and these poor folks just want to be good Americans!

Yeah, that Thomas...so NOT a Constitutionalist. "

I must point out - and I am truly not trying to be personally critical, but as a point of logic - the fact that you are basing your opinion on personalities makes your opinion purely political, by definition.

I believe that a valid legal opinion should be based on legal reasoning only, which can best be evaluated with all names and affiliations stripped from the opinions before any evaluation is given them.

In reading through some background, I think I understand that in California, first degree burglary is defined by law as a "crime of violence" even if no actual violence or weapon is involved because there is a possibility that violence may occur if a homeowner is present. No such violence occurred in Dimaya's case, but the possibility that it could have happened was enough to give him the 1st degree conviction under California law. Other states do not define it this way.

And this cuts to the part as to where the law is vague - When Congress wrote "Crimes of Violence" into the statute, did they mean ACTUAL Crimes of Violence, or did they mean to also include technically confined "crimes of violence" where no violence actually occurred, and which vary state by state?

No more. The powerful are too powerful, the enablers are too powerful, and the patronizing, condescending attitudes have finally beaten me.

Congratulations. You won. Enjoy.

Regarding the Twitter narrative -

Many years back I attended a training conference on industrial manufacturing of condensation polymers (specifically, nylon-6,6 for me). There was one guy attending the course from overseas - Japan or Taiwan, I do not really remember - and the instructor asked the rest of us to take him under our wing and show him about during the afternoon of the next day, for which we had free time. The next day rolls around and I noticed that no one, but no one, even spoke to the guy. So I ("Why does it have to be me?", I thought) asked him if he'd like to see sights with me and he agreed to, with relief, I thought.

We were in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts so I drove around us them and then we visited a former Shaker village in the area that now was a museum. As I recall, he spoke English, but certainly not fluently, and I do not remember his name or corporate affiliation. I did a LOT of talking to explain things and afterward we had dinner before heading back to our conference location to turn in for the evening. There's nothing more to tell - I'd guess that we exchanged business cards, but there was no further contact between us. I cannot vouch for what he thought of my initially begrudging gesture, but afterward, I knew that I had done right and I felt pretty good about that.

I am not trying to be overtly critical, but trying to illuminate this from another view - if we are going to decide cases on a purely political basis, and not on the law, why do we even bother with courts? Why don't we just allow our legislature to vote outcomes, or allow them to designate authorities who have the power to assign outcomes as the legislature directs? We could dispense with all of this "legal reasoning" quite easily, and in fact there are many countries around the world that do, and have done, exactly this.

Before the American Revolution, the British Parliament used to do this quite regularly. That's what "Bills of Attainder" are all about. But I note that our founders, who wrote our Constitution, had lived in a system where that kind of rule making was common, and they all agreed that it was something that they wanted to ban completely, since it had become so unspeakably corrupt.

581 I am not trying to be overtly critical, but trying to illuminate this from another view - if we are going to decide cases on a purely political basis, and not on the law, why do we even bother with courts?

If the only guy who's legal opinion is correct is Gorsuch ... why bother with Nine ? Since Gorsuch is apparently The One True Supreme Court Justice.

Nope. I trust that when three justices who are typically conservative more than liberal ... Thomas, Alito, Roberts ... actually get Kennedy as well ... then I trust their reasoning more than Gorsuch.

There are very few Facts in this deal ... but I've stated a really damning one. Gorsuch sided with Ginsberg, Sotamayor, Kagan, and Breyer against Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and Kennedy. And I've cited one Opinion that I doubt you disagree with ... Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and Kennedy are more Conservative than Ginsberg, Sotamayor, Kagan, and Breyer.

No ... the Gorsuch Supporters have decided that one opinion, that of Gorsuch, is superior to Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and Kennedy. Pretty fucking impressive if true ... but I don't buy it.

And I didn't know we had so many Supreme Court Opinion Afficienados around here. Or is it just Trump appointed Gorsuch, so Gorsuch must be right !!!

I suspect the latter.

I know the thread is dead, and I simply want to add that I have long been a strong supporter of true conservative judicial philosophy and conservative judicial reasoning. Gorsuch embodies my values far more than anyone else on the Court today, only Scalia before him was as good. (and people forget that Scalia would occasionally side with the liberals against the Government)

As i said earlier, for truly conservative judicial reasoning, you have to begin with the preposition that the outcome is inconsequential to your decision, and very few people have the ability or temperament to do that. What your friends and/or enemies think must also be inconsequential. Only the legal reasoning itself has value, and that must be based solely on the Law, as written.

Someone who truly believes that way and rules that way is going to piss off his friends and allies every so often. Someone who never does that is too political to do the job correctly, at least in my opinion.

So what if the thread is dead. Its a good topic.

A Gorsuch on the court ... if this is how he rolls ... is going to be a problem. Because we know how Ginsberg, Sotamayor, Kagan, and Breyer are going to roll.

Frankly - now is not the time for such high-minded principles. A Gorsuch such as this only works with eight others just like him.

585 Greetings:

My local Police Department has jumped on the Coyote Crisis bandwagon too. Its atrium has its fair share of posted posters.

So, the other day, after coming home from my exercise walk, I e-mailed them that:

At about 11:45am, there was a coyote headed east across the fairway by the levee. It was under aerial observation by a murder of crows."

There was no response.

587 poor schmuck- are you fucking kidding me, jerk off??????
