He was actually the first black astronaut and also invented the light bulb. Give this man his due respect!
(Un)surprisingly, I’m not that funny. Huge fan of Kill Tony and other funny podcasts. RIP Apollo!

The Model Rules explicitly disallow the type of defense she’s posing, I.e. “my boss told me it was OK!” She knows this, so she’s attempting to shift to a defense of innocent negligence (lack of diligence), rather than willful violations of law and ethics rules. Which, given she’s just agreed to be convicted of a crime or crimes, is going to be a tough defense to put up.
I believe Colorado will start separate bar/ethics proceedings now that’s she’s been newly convicted of a crime. She was not convicted when the CO Bar originally censured her, though the subject of the censure is largely the same.
TL;DR: She’s chock full of shit and hopes the CO Bar is going to punish her for a lack of diligence (which might be a lesser punishment) than for intentionally attempting to subvert an election.

I blame those evil hippoes. We think they just eat and chase people. They’ve been up to much worse for a very long time.
That article is juvenile, but funny af
Of course. It’s not a suit in good faith, it’s just another delay tactic.
No, what they’re doing is legally acceptable, though obviously a delay tactic. They’re suing him in his capacity as a judge, not as an individual.
The constitution should have a clause making this doubly true for governors of Florida, though
Apologies to real burning dumpster fires of dogshit
Thanks, man, no offense taken.
Wow, so much winning
Good, well deserved
Hopefully!
Yes, but in fairness to him, he does shady shit most days, so how can he be expected to keep track?
I’m not watching the debate. Was that someone slamming Christie?
It would be cool if they were all about conserving wildlife, natural features, forests, clean air, and clean water. Or the rights to vote and have privacy.
But no, they just want to conserve the power of a small group at the expense of everyone else.
OP won’t reply to this one…
Sure, for all practical purposes it can be, but unlike a penalty like a speeding ticket, you can get your money back if you show up.
In a practical sense, it does work as you say, and can prevent the poor from obtaining bail. The system wasn’t explicitly designed that way, and rich people who are dangerous to the community can get super high bail set as well. Source: I’m a lawyer
It’s only to assure the accused comes back to face the charges. It isn’t a penalty. Otherwise, the thinking goes, the defendant will have no reason to come back and face the court. This was probably extra true around the time of the founding of the US, when someone could more easily slip away and start a new life
Can she unilaterally pass a law like that? Serious question, I’m not at all familiar with the governmental and legislative process in Iceland.
