Television The Handmaid's Tale
Greatoneshere replied to Minnesota Fatz's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Same. Season 2 has also been excellent so far, if spinning its wheels too much. Everyone should be watching this show. -
Link? Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see who is and isn't hitting the 2% target and how much less than the 2% target each are actually contributing. If all true, then I do agree that everyone should pay, but Trump is trying to get NATO allies to do that in the worst ways possible. Bigliest negotiator eh?

But that's not how it works with desktop PC's! -
Eh, I don't think so. We already have appellate review, I don't think it's hard to imagine allowing a state court to re-open a case using an appellate review process to re-litigate a case where something extreme happened that can't be re-litigated at the federal level (for whatever reason). I think it's dangerous to make the argument you're making because the need for re-litigation at different judicial levels has happened before and I like at least a window to remain open for that possibility. I doubt it could be abused, if legislated correctly. Highly suspect judicial cases do exist.

Hey, I granted we've never achieved those ideals, but we had them. People believed in them. As I said, I've always been critical of the US. But there was a bent towards something resembling a positive direction. Now, we're actively in a negative direction. That is a big change, even if it seems small when written out.

To be clear, my issue isn't with double jeopardy. I actually agree with TwinIon and SFLUFAN that on its face, it shouldn't be possible (except in cases where an extreme misappropriation of the law or justice has occurred). But it's the timing. That's what gets me. Like with approving the Muslim Ban, it's like saying it should be legal "normally" so we'll make it legal "in this case" even though "in this case" IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. Meh. Fuggit I guess.

I am 100% sure that I am 0% proud to be an American. I used to be when I thought that to some degree we were the liberal, progressive ideal in the world. The "shining city on a hill". The "bring your meek, your poor, your huddled masses". Not overly proud, I've always been critical of America and its policies. But since Trump? This is next level. Nope. We're an actively "shithole country" now.
