Supreme Court Orders Maine to Restore Speaking and Voting Rights to State Congresswoman, Who Was Illegally Barred from the Statehouse for Stating That a Transgender "Athlete" Is In Fact Transgender
Seven Supreme Court Justices ordered an end to this illegal deprivation of representation. Sotomayor and Jackson, of course, dissented.
The Supreme Court restored Representative Laurel Libby's voice in the Maine Statehouse on Tuesday, letting the Republican lawmaker avoid apologizing to a transgender athlete she attacked in a social media post. Without explanation, the high court granted Libby's emergency appeal in an apparent 7-2 ruling. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. Jackson suggested that her colleagues had acted prematurely, intervening in a case without critical and exigent circumstances. "Denying emergency relief in a case that does not satisfy the usual certiorari factors also avoids creating perverse incentives to seek our intervention prematurely," Jackson, a Joe Biden appointee, wrote in her solo dissent. "Why would any applicant who thinks the lower courts are mistaken wait for those courts' final word on any issue if real-time error correction via our emergency docket is readily available?" Libby was censured for a Facebook post complaining that the winner of a high school track meet was transgender, unable to participate in debate or vote under a centuries-old rule of the Maine House. The Legislature said she had to apologize to the transgender athlete to regain her privileges. Libby turned to the courts instead, asking the justices to intervene so her constituents could have their voice heard in the Legislature. "The Constitution does not tolerate respondents' unprecedented punishment for Libby's speech on a debated issue of exceptional importance," Libby wrote. Maine says Libby agreed to the House rules for how the body would govern. According to the statehouse, any member found to be in breach of its rules may not participate in floor debates or votes until they have remedied their breach. Libby's colleagues said she must apologize for her conduct.

Or maybe the newspaper is being a little biased in their story if they don't report what the rule is so the reader can determine if some innocent rule is being abused.

Correct. There was a part in "Burmese Days" when the local savages rioted and surrounded the European Club where the British community had taken refuge. When the savages called out for blood for the "murder" of one of their own, Mr. Macgregor, Colonial Commissioner, tells the other Euros, who were unsure of what to do, that it was suicide not to face down the savages and tells the rioters to go home before the police are called and the shooting begins. Much hilarity ensues.
Never, ever apologize to the democrat savages.

Absolute travesty of Justice!!!! There is no slice of time where this would be the case for a person of color.
J6 was insurrection; A White Riot where armed individuals ignored the direction of Law Enforcement, violently attacking legal authority and ransacking a Federal Building...why does this confer Sainthood on a Criminal killed, by Lawful Authority, in the act of breaking the Law? Bizzarro World.
It was an "ABSOLUTE TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE" that Trump pardoned the thugs also. Lady Justice weeps!!
Babbitt was a traitor. She deserved what happened to her, and her family doesn't deserve one red cent.
The Nazis had Horst Wessel. MAGA has Ashli Babbitt. Anyone who thinks the orange pustule isn’t using Nazism as a template isn’t paying attention.

Expert comic timing. My favorite episode revolves around him. Out of accounting work, Norm exploits his skill as an interior decorator. ("I've always had a great eye for line, and I always know where to put the ottoman.")
Ultimately he has to let his new clients -- who only want German mechanics, French chefs, and gay decorators -- think he's gay . . . and he tells them Sam is his lover.
At the end, Cliff and the other patrons say sorrowfully, "Norm, we're your friends. You could have told us!" "Guys, I'm STRAIGHT!" "We don't care about that. You can get stuff wholesale!"

The Chevron defense was a precedent set by the Courts in the first place, and did NOT go back and retroactively affect any old Regulations, just new ones.
The only thing Chevron changed was that the Judge would listen to the Govs interpretation of a Rule, and decide if it was valid, instead of just accepting their interpretation.
I have not been able to find a single Rule, that has been overturned, since the Chevron defense was no longer valid, due to that precedent no longer being in use.
And actually... Chevron gave more power to Judges, as they were now the ones who got to decide what a Rule was for, and did not have to 'listen' to the Executive Branch's interpretation of said rule.
It's portrayed as a BIG WIN for the Right... but in essence it gave more power to the Judiciary.

3 GOPers voted for her (Collins, Murkowski, and Romney...not even Graham).
So, she would have gotten through anyway with Kamala's tie-breaking vote.
But, still, worst performance for a Dem nominee for SCOTUS ever. Sotomayor got 9 votes from the GOP (only 2 of them are still in Congress, including...Graham).

Actually, that's not what Chevron did. Chevron gave the executive free reign to interpret statute any way it wanted in writing regulation. It didn't need to go through courts. It, more than anything else, is responsible for the Imperial presidency.
And Trump has been using Loper as justification to rip out regulations without the APA required notices. It's part of his April 9 EO, Directing the Repeal of Unlawful Regulations.
So, the practical reality is that new regulations get more slowly added because they can be challenged in court, while the removal of regulations is faster because it's out of alignment with Loper.
But yes. Huge loss. Secret loss.

As Dr. Becker, he had one of the great lines of our time. He tells a sidewalk kid with his baseball cap on backwards, "Do you have any idea how stupid that makes you look?" A timeless comment that we can apply to people we see now, twenty years later, almost every day.
I remember Danson too as an assistant DA everyone called "Fred Astaire" for his dancing moves in the movie Body Heat, the year before Cheers started.

Maybe I'm odd, but Casablanca is not that good of a movie. Jeebus. Took a winter history course on Vichy France and WWII. Ted Turner had just created CNN and the Professor asked CNN if they would schedule Casablanca in support of the class. CNN played Casablanca everyday for a month and half. This is before Ted started banging Jane Fonda. As I recall he was big into sailing at that time. Atlanta was a fun city back then, too.

Kino has a...history with Friedkin (responding to their emails at all, apparently). And Friedkin had a history with jiggering with visuals.
It was so bad on one release (I think it was Killer Joe or Jade) that Kino just canceled the whole thing and swore to never work with him again.
And then Friedkin died.
And then scooped up whatever they could, got sign off from the DP instead of Friedkin's corpse, and got things out the door faster and, from what I've read, more in line with the 35mm print than Friedkin would have done.

Again, I know people dislike the fact she's critical of Israel, and is not shy from pointing out what she believes are flaws in the points of view of American Jews.
But the extent to which people make up shit about her, and then let the internet go crazy with believing it, is classic bullshit lefty woke bullshit bullshittery.
I don't agree with everything she says, and frankly I would prefer she not focus as much of her attention on going after the American Jews who came after her. But it's her life, she's free to do what she wants.
But the lying liars who make up shit she said, just because they don't like her, are exponentially worse.

The precedent Maine was setting was that a narrow majority could simply disqualify legislators for violating "rules" that had nothing with procedure and everything to do with policy debates.
For those keeping score at home, the Popular Front in Spain achieved a very narrow majority in the early 1936 elections, but then began demanding re-votes in certain districts due to alleged corruption and ended up with a 2/3 majority.
Nothing is new.

You literally have to watch every frame, especially the first few minutes and then the final few minutes, to grok what is happening, but when you do...OMG, devastating.
The episodes within the film (people recount things that have happened to them) were almost all extremely influential, with each episode almost becoming an entire movie genre unto itself, with many movies based on them, most of which were also made into multiple Twilight Zone and Outer Limits plots as well.
The only "weak" episode wa the ridiculous "Golfers' Tale," but the guys who starred in that scene were the most poplar comedy duo in the UK in that era, so back then it was the most popular aspect of the movie, despite it later being seen at the film's one big flaw.
But overall, definitely one of the top ten horror films ever made, and definitely the most well-contructed.

In its own and very different way, so is Caddyshack. But I finally watched it over the weekend and was left underwhelmed. I expected more after the famous quotes, and the script did not deliver. Rodney Dangerfield made the film come alive, though. (Chevy Chase must have been on downers.)

I don't remember Jimmy Fallon being in it. I'd feel sorry for anyone who lets one bit actor keep them from watching it.
Dick Winters went to visit the shoot one day, and he came upon a deuce and a half, flipped open the flap, and saw the actors in the truck, in full makeup.
They say he turned white, closed the flap, and left the set, never to return. He later said it was like looking at ghosts of his dearest friends and comrades.

Watch something on the making of that movie. IT was chaos, they changed the script and even plot almost daily, added scenes, removed scenes, added lines, etc. They had hours of film shot and nothing remotely close to an actual movie. The fact that anything at all resulted from that disaster is a testament to the raw talent of the people involved.

About half of those are girls competing in sports not offered to girls in their schools
The people squeaking most about transgenders competing are not the student athletes but political activists

Why do you use the word "about?" Don't you know?
If you're such an expert on this topic, I think you'd be arguing with facts, not approximations of facts.
See further, your use of the word "most."

They are very droll in Night Train to Munich. They're about to leave Germany on a train in late August 1939. One of them picks up his book, and it's Mein Kampf. He states, "They give a copy to all the newlyweds here, you know."
His buddy blinks. "I don't think it's *that* sort of book, old man --!"

I saw a film called The Train with him a few years ago, totally new to me. Its roughly based on the same story as The Monuments Men (highly recommend the book). Great movie, very tense, interesting, and different stuff for him. John Frankenheimer direction (Manchurian Candidate, French Connection II, etc).

Huh? If that's a joke, it's over my head.
I was just noting the person used "about" when referring to the number of trans athletes, and the number who are female.
36 isn't that big a number. I'd think if you "know" what you're talking about, you can get closer than "about."

Well, like I said, it's odd. The thing is, we don't know the full backstory behind Lancaster's character and his motivations. So, we can't really say fully what the "premise" is.

Again, we got a lot of lib-refugees, who think they are just going to part from the Woke--who they very recently thought "Well, at least they're better than conservatives", and then run everything on this side.
I can't control what you're going to do, but I'd advise not to fall for the same riffing by which Mike Pence was going to give shock-treatment to every gay man, or that Trump is going to deport native-born citizens of Hispanic descent.
This is how they "argue". They still don't want to learn much.

But I have innate movie formulas that makes me like or dislike a movie.
One thing is I don't watch movies to feel bad after they are over. There are a few exceptions. I thought the Human Stain was a piece of art but the most depressing movie I've ever seen.
The Cooler which I watched a few nights ago is like watching a car wreck but with a happy ending.

I'm sure there's something there, but I was only commenting on the more recent comment.
If I'm going to engage with someone, I'd prefer to start with an easy layup, and then work back. If necessary.
But I doubt this person is interested in a rational argument.
