For reasons I won't get into (nothing kinky; sorry), our second kid was probably conceived in the bed that was in the same bedroom where our older kid's crib was located at the time. And there was an animal-toy mobile hanging from the middle of the ceiling....

I hadn't thought about it; but now that you mention it, I suppose could see a plaintiff's attorney (representing a stalking victim) considering that angle - i.e., including the bar in a civil suit - on such a theory. No idea if that's been tried yet, or guess as to the chances of success/failure.

Maybe it was an inside job to get funding for a better airport. They are currently building a brand new terminal to the west, and will be demolishing the current one. Maybe he dislikes the construction company who was hired to do the demolition? Sounds more like he wanted to freelance the contract. I tell ya, it ain't easy being non-union.

>>Just wondering how long they will keep them after they are used as evidence in a stalking case. It would be treated as any other evidence, and the length of its preservation would be governed by the same rules & regulations that govern the preservation of any evidence in a criminal case in that particular state. >>Could the bar be held liable in some way? Depends on the case. Way too many variable scenarios to answer in summary form. That being said, most (maybe all?) states allow servers of alcohol to be held liable (by being sued and/or jeopardy to their liquor license) for consequences of serving someone too much alcohol (like an alcohol-influenced car crash, etc.). In the trade, we call them "liquor liability" cases.

It doesn't...it's just a privacy issue. Getting to the point you can't go anywhere without big brother looking over your shoulder. More like big sister, but yeah If I was a cop I'd be all over this. Sit in the car and watch people drink in the bar and monitor behavior while recording it for use in court later. I'd have a pretty good idea who I could make a DUI case against as people left. I bet there's a precedent out there covering this. I'm not working today or I'd do some searching. ROFL!!! Paraphrase: I'd be glad to waste time on this, but I'm not at work today. Off the top of my nord (I've done a lot of crim defense & DUI), I'd say the default position is that anything observed on/recoded from that camera would probably be ruled by most trial judges as admissible into evidence in (for but 1 example) a DUI prosecution. I think the majority of appellate courts would probably affirm that, too.

I know, right?! So many people at the hotel and in the airport just cough and sneeze and don't cover. I had a feeling I was coming down with something. Oh well. As long as I'm better by Christmas week, I'm happy. Emergence C I don't think that's the way it's spelled but you have the idea. Start taking it to head off the creeping crud. Ouch. Today is a sick day. Just took some Nyquil Cold and Flu Nighttime and now a throat lozenge to try to numb my throat. Hurts to swallow, like little razors are in there. Oh well, that's God's way of punishing me for turning down a long weekend of casual sex with a married, retired pro athlete who has ADD and a STD. For real. Yeah, ADD can be a real turn-off.

Creepy. Period. But yeah, your complaints will fall on deaf ears. Pity.

Reading between the lines, it looks like solid police work.

I don't know why people try to blow shit up in the MidWest. There's nothing there.

which is why Fox News only hires Vulcans. Bwahaahh!!! Rush's reply about how they only hire from the bottom 5% of the Vulcan Academy class was funnier. where?

Fortunately the fantasy appears to be harmless. Really? "Why did you track up jump run?" "I wanted to deploy into the wind." . -
You're generally correct that federal judgeships seem less prone to naked corruption, especially at the appellate court level (although I suppose any judge, federal or state, could theoretically behave corrupt..ly(?) once in office). But it would still be naive for anyone (not referring to you) to think that the political relationships underpinning a federal judge-candidate's initial nomination are not themselves built on a foundation (at least partly) of money, in several forms: political contributions, shared (or at least "in-network") financial or business interests, insider information, etc.
-
Without getting into it at length (I am working now ), the analysis of a judge-candidate's "merit", especially at the state-court level (as opposed to federal courts, where the judicial quality is generally pretty high) is really as much about political relationships as it is about comparative qualifications (on every level) to serve as a judge. In the real world: little or no real difference.
-
You don't see this as an issue? To me elected judges, sherrifs and DA's create a problem in the justicial system. Justice isn't based on what's right or wrong...it is based on campaign funding and re-election. It is absolutely stupid. This is a common argument for so-called "merit selection" of judges and chief prosecutors. It's also naive. Politics and money - and being beholden to others for one's office - is every bit as much involved in the nomination and anointment of judges and chief prosecutors under an "appointed" system as under an elective system; it just has some different nuances, mostly cosmetic. In fact, an under-funded, poorly-"connected" "outsider" has (long story short) at least a genuine, sporting chance of attaining judicial office under an elective system; whereas under an appointment system the same person's chances would effectively be nil.

I said it might be, or it might not be, depending on resolution of the ambiguity.

The comment "Jesus was a white man" was either ignorant of fact or a deliberate troll, as pundits and twerkers not infrequently do to increase their stock in trade, which is public attention. Here, I suspect it's the latter.

Without going thru endless hypothetical analogies, I think "bowls of nuts left around Buckingham Palace" - not just in written abstract, but in reality - is an ambiguous circumstance at first blush. (As contrasted with, for example, some cheeky Yank fireman helping himself to some homeowner's dinner.) If the cops are told (either at the outset, or after some nuts have (gasp!) gone missing), "Don't eat the Old Bag's nuts; they're for family only", and they eat them nonetheless, then sure, that's wrong. But in the absence of that, there's enough ambiguity as to whether they're fair game that HRH should cool her tool. I mean: marking the bowls? Seriously? God forbid the commoners should get a few extra crumbs. Get a life, lady. Back In The Day, when Liz's namesake's poppa was CEO, hunting game in the regent's forest was a death penalty offense. Again: the Frogs had an efficient way of relegating that sort of thing to the dustbin. The Brits could take a lesson or two from them.

I would not eat the king's nuts; nor the queen's beaver. But the queen's nuts are open game.

Ah, such fealty. The French figured out the right way to separate an hereditary sovereign from the body (politic): Literally.

You believe in a fantasy. So do theists, yet they still manage to get their pants on. Life is filled with wiggle room. -
