The employer is within their rights to terminate so long as it’s not on the basis of a protected class (gender, religion, age etc.).
I don’t agree that stating an opinion should be grounds but I do not believe they violated anything.
Even worse, she’s recognized for excellent work performance so you’d think that matters more….but nope.
Legally I’m not sure - symbolically he could do a lot. Call out the ethical judgement of Thomas and Alito for one. Recommend recusal. Hell, suggest resignations - if he were a principled Chief Justice that is, but alas….
The Chief Justice calling on him to recuse would be one. Even better - advocating for a binding code of ethics.
At the very least, meeting with Congress.
He refuses to even do symbolic gestures.
If Roberts had any principles or just a spine he’d set an example, instead the SCOTUS legacy is beclowned daily and he does not care. What a failure of a once vaunted institution.
The anarchy symbol rebelliously displayed on a rear projection screen, the pride of the A/V department, in a ballroom of a Hamilton Suites lobby somewhere. My youth recoils in horror.
The problem is people on juries can (try) to disregard instructions. I served on one and was NOT the foreperson and yet was the only one to speak up when some insisted on raising hypothetical motives when the judge had specifically instructed us only to consider presented evidence.
“No, you cannot guess as to what occurred” I had to repeatedly say.
I worry that one or more jurors will rationalize instead of fulfill their sworn duty. I hope not but….
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What an amazing gesture and selfless decision by a family living my worst nightmare. That is achingly beautiful.
Is spineless turd that much of a career path in the GOP? Cruz, McConnell, DeSantis, Christie, Romney (for a time) and more bending the knee. Pathetic.
I used to think that, it took talking to people that lost loved ones to suicide and learning more about it to feel far more empathy - imagine seeing the world without you, to picture your family happier with you gone. Utter despair where dying is the appealing option.
Yes, **if ** and that’s a massive if, this was a dramatic last act it may have been malicious or selfish….or an irrational, impulsive and ultimately tragic decision.
I feel sorry for everyone involved. Its horrible.
I’m by no means a laserologist but my layperson understanding is that laser colors are achieved through different means of generating the laser - using various gases etc. So a red or green laser have different properties. Now there may be a way to achieve colors optically and the light itself being consistent but from the bit I recall green ones took quite a bit more power to generate than red so I think would be hotter.
….or I’m WAYYYYY off. 🥸😜
Just wanted to remove any potential ambiguity as some might think it a love song. ;)
Starfuckers is, I believe, about her. It’s….not complimentary.
Imagine any other defendant in a criminal proceeding suggesting to reduce security in order for their supporters to disrupt proceedings.
Jury tampering is illegal after all.
At least, for everyone else it is.
When I feel pessimistic about the world it’s kids like this that give me hope. Great story!
But…but….but…the market will self regulate?
The payment which was effectively an undeclared campaign contribution which led to court proceedings and exposed the whole deal.
I’ve enjoyed their series of videos of abandoned towns - especially the remote Alaskan and Canadian ones with the skateboarder host that is great at making connections with locals. Great content that showed off their skill. Shame.
She has no fucking clue what appeasement means or how it objectively applies in this instance.
She responds insultingly to what is an entirely reasonable and entirely diplomatic phrasing of a justified opinion.
She’s an utter embarrassment. Every single voter in her district should be mortified. What a buffoon.
If you think the Eastland Steamer is a story you should check out the Cleveland Steamer.
Thought #2….maybe don’t.
