I'm actually quite interested to find out if anyone impacted by the SC going on hold could actually file a lawsuit against the Senate for effectively obstruction, since their intent has already been laid out for all to see.

Fire's out. I only found out because the firetrucks were already in the neighborhood. By the time we knew there was a fire, the third truck was headed down the hill and they were evacuating the nearby townhouses. These are two-unit townhouses, the first unit is a complete loss, we watched the second story collapse, but the second unit might not be a complete loss. It crawled through the attic of the second, but we can't tell the extent of the damage from the view from our house. I don't think any of the people who lived in those two units were actually there when it caught fire, and if they were, they got out well before the house went up.

Deadlocking on a case or review would send it back to the lower courts with no precedent, in order to prevent this from happening, they'd have to put all current cases/reviews on hold until Scalia's replacement is appointed.

So, uh, one of my neighbors that lives across the street has their house on fire. o_o;

That'd be too iffy, there'd be a lack of consistency between the cases and then it turns into a situation of trying to get your case into the right set of Justices.

Gotta go through all the formalities, even in situations where it's already evident what the end solution is. Gotta love it. /s

Like Rynjin said, we don't really know if that would happen or not, nobody's done it yet. I'm not going to deny that the opposing party would want to make sure whoever replaces Scalia aligns as close as possible with their political views, but to go about shutting down our highest court of law for almost a year? Had the Republicans and Conservatives just kept their mouths shut and didn't tell the world they were going to stall, they could have gone some time before people started calling bullshit, but we knew their intent before Scalia's body was cold. But now, if they go through with this - and we have no reason to believe they're just bluffing - they will cripple our justice system, and also potentially open themselves up to lawsuits from those impacted by the Supreme Court shutting down.

It's the whole "family comes first" thing. It won't matter what Rammite does in this case if it doesn't involve family. It's likely the only way they'd accept him giving it to a friend would be after he's asked all available family members and they all say they didn't want it.

This is called the shitstorm thread, not shitposting.

I have a feeling that the Democratic National Convention is going to try and force Hillary to be the nominee, even if the votes would put Sanders as nominee. Just by going off of raw numbers, Sanders currently has 44 delegates, while Hillary has 394, Sanders has a couple superdelegates on his side, while Hillary's 394 is mostly made up of these superdelegates. It could be entirely possible that Sanders could technically win the primary election by earning a majority of the delegates determined by voting, but still lose the Democratic nomination if, if Hillary gets most of the party's unelected unpledged delegates. Effectively, these superdelegates could put Hillary as the nominee even if We The People vote for Sanders, effectively canceling out our decision. The NPR reported in November that Hillary had a 45-1 superdelegate advantage, putting her at 15% of the delegates needed to secure the nomination, before any voting even started.

Force Awakens was a decent movie, I just wish the guy to my right hadn't started humming along to some of the music and just saying things about the scene. I want to see Deadpool so fucking bad, but it's gonna have to wait, sadly.

I would so learn to love the million tons of white bullshit (Also known as snow) just to escape US politics.

The Republicans in Congress are already saying they're gonna block any of Obama's attempts to replace Scalia, and are saying that "The next president should decide" This is a major major problem. For those who don't live in the US, the number of Supreme Court Justices has always been an odd number, this is to prevent deadlocks where it's a complete split between supporting and opposing Justices. To not appoint a new Supreme Court Justice would effectively put all current Supreme Court cases/reviews on hold until this election cycle finishes, a whopping 11 months where the Supreme Court can't do anything. This, however, is pretty typical of Republican politicians. If they can't get what they want, then they'll hold the entire system hostage until someone gives in, like when our government shut down for about a week or so.

If Trump wins, I'd seriously consider moving out of the country. I mean, I'm already like "I want out of here" because I'm tired of US politics, that isn't to say that other nations don't have their own problems, but the problems here have gotten way out of hand.

Going to finally see Force Awakens at Movie Tavern tomorrow. Not really a big Star Wars fan, but I will gladly take a free Movie Tavern visit with paid dinner. Chief paid for our tickets and gave us a $60 food allowance, she said it was for Valentine's Day, but it's really just a family outing, minus Chief! We wanted tickets to go see Deadpool, but the only seats we could get were front row, and as comfy as the chairs are, fuck front row seats at movie theaters.

Used to have a pasta maker back when I lived in Kissimmee, but my dad took that in the divorce. Too young to really remember what all we made with it, aside from being lazy, I do want to try making pasta every now and then. It's time for another Bumscag Dessert Drop! Cheesecake Cake Batter Dip Tried this for a friend's birthday party, was a MASSIVE hit, I could have damn near eaten that stuff with a friggin' spoon. Churro Cheesecake GO FORTH AND FUCK OVER YOUR DIETS FUCK DIETS

This is why I watched the Kitty Bowl and the Puppy Bowl, you will never get tired of watching cute animals play.

Yeah, I've already beaten Legend Mode and done a few Hard missions, got all the Heart Containers and Pieces from Legend Mode, but really I just need to work on leveling my warriors. So far my favorite is Shiek, but I also love Zelda with the Baton, and Link with the Magic Rod. I still need to unlock Zant and Agitha, but I have access to at least half of the Adventure map.

Been playing the hell out of Hyrule Warriors and god damn the Batons for Zelda are fun. Don't have any of the DLC for it, though.

It's sunny, but cold, here in Georgia. Who the fuck said it was allowed to get cold again?

Included with some of the fighters is new stages, for example, Bayonetta comes with the Umbran Clock Tower, as well as character trophies and new songs. Still kinda pricey, but it's at least not just the fighters you're getting.

Now that I have a WiiU, I've been playing Hyrule Warriors almost obsessively, and I remembered that I forgot to ask y'all for your Nintendo IDs, since WiiU no friend code.

I want Bayonetta badly, but I have to wait until mother's next paycheck 'cause this pay period is when car payment comes out and I have to keep reminding myself that surviving the pay period is more important than vidya gaems. orz

Fuck's sake, I wish people would learn what the fuck a Trademark is actually FOR. Trademarks are words or images used to distinguish WHERE the goods came from, so they could TM "FineBros" or whatever imagery they use as part of their logo (Like Apple's Apple, or the Golden Arches for McDonalds) This is the same bloody problem that people had with King.com getting a TM on the word "Saga" and later trying to get "Candy" TM'd, neither word distinguishes WHERE the product/goods came from. TMing "King.com" or their crown logo would have been an acceptable TM, but not just the words "Saga" or "Candy". I have to wonder just how the fuck they managed to secure that TM from the registration office. ALTHOUGH, funnily enough, the FineBros may have fucked themselves over by announcing their licensing deal and TM acquisition this early. When a TM is approved, the public has 30 days to file an opposition, and apparently there is a law office that is working pro bono with a bunch of streamers and content creators in opposition to this TM. Had they stayed quiet on this for the 30 day period, or even for a good majority of it, they'd have almost certainly acquired the TM no issue, but as it stands now, people have a good window of opportunity to fight this.

Okay, so I've seen a few of the people I subscribe to on YouTube post things about the FineBros. Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on? Because all I've seen is "LOL LOOK AT THEM HEMORRHAGE SUBS" and I'm deeply confused.
