When I'm really sad, I tend to sleep a lot and not eat much, so I lose a lot of weight. Conversely, now that I'm marrying Travis and almost done with law school, I've put on some happy fat.

uh....I thought he went with Roberts for Rhenquist's spot, then Myers for O'Conner's spot. When Myers was rejected, he replaced her with Alito, not Roberts. It's all semantics anyway, and I could be wrong. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

Considering the gross misapplication of clearly established law by the President in the wire tapping issue and the demogogery evident in the signing statements, I think it likely that impeachment proceedings are inevitable. Impeachment is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as a criminal proceeding. Nixon v. Serica (487 F.2d 700) observes in dicta and footnotes the applicability of criminal prosecutions of the President, and declines to extend any sort of criminal immunity to him. It also notes that the existence of impeachment articles does not foreclose any other criminal proceeding against the President. As for the wiretapping, I think it unlikely that the President will also be liable for civil damages as a result of Unconstitutional privacy violations. This is because of Nixon v. Fitzgerald, which ruled that the president has absolute civil immunity for any actions "within the outer perimeter" of the president's sphere of responsibility. So even if he was acting in a way that violates the law, if he's doing something presidential, he's immune. It's different for other executive officials, though. They only get immunity if they aren't violating clearly established law, and Katz v. US is clearly established law. To answer your question Michele: yes, there have been some challenges to the warrantless wiretapping, but they concern the first as well as the fourth amendment. Do a google search for ACLU v. NSA and you'll find more information. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

cool man! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous (according to weather.com). *brie crosses her fingers and knocks on wood* Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

Dee (and everyone): If you call the Days Inn in Thomaston and say you're with the Stewart wedding, you can get a hotel room for forty-something dollars a night. We're getting so excited! Travis and I are driving up Friday morning for whirly ball, and we'll be at the dropzone at like 10 on Saturday. We're thinking the wedding jump will be around 2.

When I get married on Saturday, mindway69 (Katie) is going to be my maid of honor. I'm getting so excited! I can't think of anything else! Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

That the weather is nice on Saturday for our wedding.

yep. His name is Travis Stewart. But he'll be married in less than a week. To me.

The worst thing is that Bush can look at all of those counts, say Harlo v. Nixon, and walk. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

lotsa humpy!/10/0 Finally! Finals are over, and despite the fact that we only got one day for jumping, I squeezed in 10, mostly freefly, including one VERY FUN jump with my little Jessie! She's becoming a fanstastic freeflier! We also had some YUMMY enchiladas by my Hippie - probably the best Mexican food I've ever had. After the mexican jump with the sombreros (happy thousanth Mandy!) and blow-up cacti and monkey (!), it was very appropriate. It was a great last weekend to be single. Travis and I hope we see lots of you for our wedding next weekend! Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

apply anyway. I applied and got a scholarship, but basically every one of my friends who went there qualified for a grant of some kind. They're based on need. So apply anyway. If you don't get a grant, then you're only out the application fee. Emory's worth it. Hope we'll see you at the wedding next weekend.

The last time I talked to Hans, he said it was no problem. I need to get back up with him next week to make sure it's still ok. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

YAY! I'm so excited. I should be studying. I need a spankin. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

and....and.....I'LL FINALLY BE THERE!!! Finals are over on friday and I'm jumping my little bootie off this weekend!

Oh no! We miss you already! We'll take lots of pics for ya.

Hiya folks! I thought I'd post again to update everyone. We just booked the bouncy houses for the wedding. We'll have a boxing ring (which is really just like a regular moonwalk, but with giant boxing gloves to pound your fellow jumpers), and a joust ring, with two platforms, and the object is the knock the other person off of their platform with giant jousting thingies. We're so excited. Please drop us an email if we missed you for the whirlyball list. Also, please contact Hans to reserve a slot on the plane flying down from the Farm if you will be there during the day on Saturday.

I'm wondering what Libertarians think of the Establishment Clause. Everything makes sense...up until the point where we start giving tax credits when people give to charitable organizations...which tend to be religiously affiliated. Wouldn't the government essentially be subsidizing donations to religious organizations that way? I looked on the website, and I can't find anything about it. For me, the libertarian stance on affirmative action is problematic, but the foreign policy ideas make sense. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

Yep, I got offered 25K for mine in undergrad. They wanted a small, blue eyed girl with a certain SAT score and GPA. They also had specific requirements for family illness history. This was before I was skydiving, so I turned it down. If I had been offered the same right before AFF or when I was buying my first rig, I would have taken them up on it. I'm still thinking about it to pay off some student loans. Nightingale, I agree with you. It's not your DNA that determines your parents.

Aww...I missed you guys, too. You sounded like you were having fun last night. I'll be back at it May 6th. Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs. You now have a new nickname: "Black Humper of Death"--yardhippie

Hi all, I'm going through some frustration right now, because I have a terrible professor. His lectures are bad, and he sucks at answering questions. The problem is that as soon as I start to disrespect a professor, I don't put in the work I should. And the final is 2 weeks from Thursday. How do I get myself back into a good frame of mind for the test? Brie "Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.

OMG that pic with the butterfly is so amazing. You can really see the wonder in his eyes. VERY cute!
