Undoubtedly. There are lots of other things that could throw me into jail. For example, NIH requires me to have porn filters on my routers. I don't even know how to do that.
Seriously (ahem!) -- does anyone else love anchovy paste? I use it a lot, especially when tomatoes are in season. Sourdough bread, good cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, and anchovy paste.
Or is that just one my weird things, like blutwurst?
Some of you watched with amusement as I endorsed Hillary Clinton for my personal safety. What you might not know is that I was completely serious. I was getting a lot of direct and indirect death threats for writing about Trump’s powers of persuasion, and I made all of that go away by endorsing Clinton. People don’t care why I am on their side. They only care that I am.
You might have found it funny that I endorsed Clinton for my personal safety. But it was only funny by coincidence. I did it for personal safety, and apparently it is working. Where I live, in California, it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does. So I fixed that.
Again, I’m completely serious about the safety issue. Writing about Trump ended my speaking career, and has already reduced my income by about 40%, as far as I can tell. But I’m in less physical danger than I was.
I think you guys might like him: "The overreach of the federal government, federal overreach, over regulation, (is a) big big issue for us. I was attorney general in Alaska," Sullivan said in the February interview. "I'd like to say I probably sued the Obama administration on a lot of these overreach issues, probably more than any other AG, with probably the exception of the Texas attorney general."
Hope I'm able to make him "The Senior Senator from the Great State of Alaska" come November:)
from Ace of Spades HQ 7-11-2015 -
"First of all, let's take Obama. What is he? By temperament and training, he is a community organizer. The thing is, that's one of those terms that sounds self explanatory but really it's not, in fact it means the opposite of what it seems to mean. The term "community organizer" was coined by Saul Alinsky to describe the people who he envisioned would destabilize society. The last thing an Alinskyite wants is for a community to be organized. An organized community is functioning smoothly, all of its parts meshing seamlessly. An organized community has no need for, nor desire for, an Alinskyite. No, the job of one of Alinsky's community organizers is to destabilize a community, to disorganize it. It is only when a community becomes disorganized that the politics of division can thrive and it is divided communities that are the end goal of Alinsky's disciples. Only when a community has been fatally divided against itself is it ripe for tearing down, to be replaced by a communal Utopia. Sowing this division is all Obama has done all his entire adult life. It is quite literally all he knows."
Why do people have to obey THESE laws?
Why are there enforced consequences for breaking these laws?
Some individuals & groups get to break laws:
*citizens of other countries in America illegally
*Hillary Clinton
*Dem/Progressive activists, rioters, & protesters
But NOT YOU.....& not these drivers in DC.
Middle Americans - of all races & ethnicities - are expected to obey ALL laws while 'activists' are allowed to block roads, vandalize fraternity houses & businesses, & harass the police. Citizens of other countries that are here illegally get to break our laws & are rewarded for breaking our laws.
And Hillary Clinton?...well, she gets to do whatever she wants. Pass around classified info, set up a private computer system, doesn't archive info, lie to Congress,....it doesn't matter. You would be fired or brought up on charges....but not her.
Yeah, Marlene. Why should she have to pay that fine? Why can't your daughter be excused by James Comey? Maybe Obama could sign some 'Dreamdriver' executive order?
Why not?
It's not just that middle Americans are expected to obey all laws, they're expected to obey them even when they're not aware of them - with hundreds of new criminal laws passed every year, many not requiring criminal intent or even knowledge that there WAS a law.
At the same time, the people who write the laws, and the people who enforce them, are not required or even expected to know or understand the laws they write/enforce.
Read this whole article but am still not sure of what the point of this game is. I believe from the illustrations that the characters are superimposed on actual sites, but this might be my misunderstanding.
I offer this bit of explanation from the article as an example of why this particular craze is going to pass me by:
"You quickly learn that you will be shoving lots of extra Pokémon into the meat grinder for candy, once you start amassing a lot of low level duplicates. Once you have a max evolution version of a Pokémon, it seems like you’d want to just upgrade that and not look back. But, for some of the most common Pokémon near you, they can be a bonus source of significant XP. Say you evolved your Rattata into a Raticate but you keep finding eight zillion Rattatas. Well, save a few, and use all that candy (and zero stardust) to evolve them for 500 XP a pop. There are probably only a handful of Pokémon that you will find this often, but trust me, this is a great use of extra candy which costs you nothing of significance and will really help with leveling. Bonus trick: Save up a number of these XP evolutions to pair them with a lucky egg which will get you 1000 XP for even a 12 candy Pidgey evolution."
Got that? (You can imagine my eyes going around like pinwheels.)

PA: Trump 40, HC 34, Johnson 9
The bitter Bernie supporters might take a look at Gary Johnson. A devastated Bernie supporter in Maine said he is betrayed,because Bernie promised to go all the way to the convention.
Bernie heard about the guy killed in the weightlifting "accident" and the MFM's lack of interest and figured it would be in his interest to not pose a threat to Uncle Jack.
So I am happy to see several news sources are reporting that Trump is criticizing Ginsberg for trashing him in public...even McConnell and Ryan have joined in it.
So would it be too hard for any of them to do the homework Frau did here yesterday by citing the specific section in the rules of judicial conduct that prohibits what she did?
I mean it really is a clear cut example, yet once more, where the rules just do not apply to the Left.
Lots of stuff going on. I see Rob Portman got dumped into the VP rumor hopper last night.
I personally think what we are seeing is a lot of potential cabinet members. Gingrich was talking about rolling out some cabinet choices at the convention several weeks ago.
I saw a newspaper story, maybe linked here yesterday, saying that the rules don't apply to SC justices, though they customarily abide by them. Isn't that just typical? The story contrasted what happened to Guido Calabresi when he made some anti-Bush comment many years ago.
From my vantage point in GA, I don't remember specifics, but have a favorable opinion of Pence's time in the House. I think he challenged Boehner for a leadership position at some point and lost, and in hindsight we lost too.
Forgot to mention I saw Steve Moore being interviewed the other night--he's apparently helping Trump craft a tax policy. The good part was the cuts in business taxes, especially the corporate income tax. But when the interviewer asked "How are you going to pay for it?", Moore gave the wrong answer. Instead of saying that the CIT doesn't raise all that much revenue, and we'll pay for it by cutting spending, he mumbled something about raising taxes on rich people. Sigh. Why do we need Democrats?
You are observing the same disconnect that VDH writes about on the left coast. For him it was the speeding ticket on the way to Palo Alto while the illegals strip the wire from the streetlights back in Fresno.
My test for when it's all over: when the meter maids are shot for writing those parking tickets. The system collapses.
So would it be too hard for any of them to do the homework Frau did here yesterday by citing the specific section in the rules of judicial conduct that prohibits what she did?
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Ginsburg!
Code of conduct for Unitd States judges:
Canon 5: A Judge Should Refrain from Political Activity
(A) General Prohibitions. A judge should not:
(1) act as a leader or hold any office in a political organization;
(2) make speeches for a political organization or candidate, or publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office; or
(3) solicit funds for, pay an assessment to, or make a contribution to a political organization or candidate, or attend or purchase a ticket for a dinner or other event sponsored by a political organization or candidate.
All supreme court justices are equal but some are more equal than others.

So I am happy to see several news sources are reporting that Trump is criticizing Ginsberg for trashing him in public...even McConnell and Ryan have joined in it.
So would it be too hard for any of them to do the homework Frau did here yesterday by citing the specific section in the rules of judicial conduct that prohibits what she did?
I mean it really is a clear cut example, yet once more, where the rules just do not apply to the Left.
Is that not what this entire election is about?

WSJ says Trumps wants an attack dog skilled in hand to hand combat on the political field for VP.
Does that not signal Gingrich over Pence?

Its a mystery, so why is the Louisiana mb (icna) mosque leader, at the memorial.

Lots of stuff going on. I see Rob Portman got dumped into the VP rumor hopper last night.
I personally think what we are seeing is a lot of potential cabinet members. Gingrich was talking about rolling out some cabinet choices at the convention several weeks ago.

Rumor stuff, but what the heck, it's interesting:

I saw a newspaper story, maybe linked here yesterday, saying that the rules don't apply to SC justices, though they customarily abide by them. Isn't that just typical? The story contrasted what happened to Guido Calabresi when he made some anti-Bush comment many years ago.

From my vantage point in GA, I don't remember specifics, but have a favorable opinion of Pence's time in the House. I think he challenged Boehner for a leadership position at some point and lost, and in hindsight we lost too.

Rules of Judicial Conduct do not apply to SCOTUS, according to Althouse.

Forgot to mention I saw Steve Moore being interviewed the other night--he's apparently helping Trump craft a tax policy. The good part was the cuts in business taxes, especially the corporate income tax. But when the interviewer asked "How are you going to pay for it?", Moore gave the wrong answer. Instead of saying that the CIT doesn't raise all that much revenue, and we'll pay for it by cutting spending, he mumbled something about raising taxes on rich people. Sigh. Why do we need Democrats?

Article V could turn Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg and friends into a DC night court.

Mark Halperin has photos of Trump entering the Indiana governor's mansion this morning.
Also there are Ivanka and Jared.

Janet,
You are observing the same disconnect that VDH writes about on the left coast. For him it was the speeding ticket on the way to Palo Alto while the illegals strip the wire from the streetlights back in Fresno.
My test for when it's all over: when the meter maids are shot for writing those parking tickets. The system collapses.

Except for 2008, IN usually votes for the R nominee, but there's a sizable unaffiliated sector.

Lurked just tipped me off to pence.

Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Ginsburg!
Code of conduct for Unitd States judges:
Canon 5: A Judge Should Refrain from Political Activity
(A) General Prohibitions. A judge should not:
(1) act as a leader or hold any office in a political organization;
(2) make speeches for a political organization or candidate, or publicly endorse or oppose a candidate for public office; or
(3) solicit funds for, pay an assessment to, or make a contribution to a political organization or candidate, or attend or purchase a ticket for a dinner or other event sponsored by a political organization or candidate.
All supreme court justices are equal but some are more equal than others.
