Can I interest you in some of this?

So if you had to guess, how much do you think a gun ban would reduce the number of shootings in this country? 100%? 50%? 25%? I assume you have some idea of it's effectiveness since you seem to be advocating for it. Would it be comparable to the effectiveness of a complete ban on illict drugs?

I will set the bar high (I think)....80 starts. He's good enough to start, I could see him in NO next season.

That's more reasonable to me, it at least eliminates the grey area.

So here is my line in the sand on abortion... https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/07/01/ohio-girl-10-among-patients-going-indiana-abortion/7788415001/ There is no way a 10 year old should be having a baby. I have no problems with her going anywhere to get an abortion. It's super dangerous for her and she would suffer dearly down the line if not immediately. I also would like to say, this newspaper, their editors, their writers are all some of the worst MFs I've ever come across in the media. How you can write an article like this is hard to fathom. You can't just normalize a pregnant 10 year old into a general opinion piece on abortion. You can't even group it with a teenager having an abortion. It's so extremely rare (and disturbing) that it deserves more effort than two fucking sentences in some shitty op-ed. This would be a journalistic opportunity to point out why abortion should be available in extreme situations. BUT NO!!, let's do our best to make it blend in with the standard fare. Fuck off!

I respect most of what you're saying. I wouldn't consider maiming someone for life as very comparable to not being read your miranda rights, but I understand the need for responsibility. The problem lies in the nature of how miranda is implemented. For instance, if one of your patients told the police you groped them when they were under anesthesia, should the police show up and instantly arrest you? Or should they be able, legally, to ask you a few questions first? And if they do arrest you, after you spill the beans, did they violate miranda rights? Because that last question is open to wildly different opinions. You would be holding people liable for legal grey areas.

No one said the EPA couldn't consult congress about policy, the SCOTUS simply ruled only congress can pass a law. I mean, that is why they're elected.

I'm perfectly fine with compensation/reimbursement for wrongful or malicious incarceration. I guess I don't understand why that has to be tied to miranda rights. BUT chances are a decent percentage, whose miranda rights were violated, would have been criminals who may of had a much greater chance of walking due to a fuck up. That's the jackpot prize. It would be a complete mockery if they got paid on top of it. Not getting read your rights doesn't make you innocent of anything. It probably makes you more lucky than anything. I understand your referring to situations that the cops are acting in a nefarious manner, but the fact is cops acting in good faith, with bad information from a witness/victim, could also be caught up in a suit. If you look at the SCOTUS case and take the plaintiff at face value, do you find fault in not reading someone their rights before they're arrested? Why would you be obligated to use their own words against them in a court of law or advise them to get an attorney if they're not being charged with a crime at that point? Even if the cop is actively trying to coerce you into a confession, you're still not under arrest. How is that a violation of your miranda rights? I mean, in that case, your rights are being violated, but not your miranda rights. Look, you've had a 5th amendment right for nearly 250 years. That's not being taken from you. I find it a little odd to sue someone for not reminding you of a right you've had for your entire life. It's a gift in of itself that NOT getting a mandatory "courtesy" synopsis of the law gets you out of as much shit as it does.

Fair enough, but that doesn't have to be addressed through miranda rights. If you were wrongfully arrested and actually read your rights, this would do nothing to help you. This should be addressed elsewhere. The actual damage is not done at this point, if your going to jail either way.

Saw this the other day... https://www.yahoo.com/amphtml/now/war-trophies-swiped-dead-russians-012129423.html

Well, when you look at the context of the case they were looking at (Tekoh vs Vega), it makes more sense. The accused thought his miranda rights were violated, even though he was not under arrest at the time of his interrogation and subsequent written confession. He claimed he was coerced into a false confession through threats of violence, which the officer/PD could still be held responsible for, if it can be proven. I'm guessing it could not be proven, so the accused went after a 5th amendment rights violation. To be fair, the accused was acquitted, so maybe there is something to his story of a false coerced confession. However, it would be extremely risky to interrogate a suspect without arresting him first, if your going to be held liable. Who would want to ask any questions if that were the case? Essentially, if the SCOTUS had the opposite opinion, defense lawyers everywhere could argue nothing you say, before you're arrested, should be admissible in a court of law. I'm no Saul Goodman, but I'm not seeing the ruling as outrageous. As you stated, we still have miranda rights. Maybe you're wanting to amend the law so police have to read us our rights at every interaction?

I get why some want to believe some things, but this shit reads like a B-budget script.

So if I believe everything this man says, I don't see where the crime happened. If Trump BELIEVED the conspiracies, than how would he be acting in bad faith. You can't say he believed nonsense conspiracies and he knowingly tried to steal the election. That's double talk. If he BELIEVED the election was stolen why wouldn't he want the "conspiracy" uncovered?

I'm 100% for subsidized morning after pills. Who do I write a check to?

Gun rights are written into the constitution, abortion is not. And how is Clarence Thomas an U. Tom? Because he's on the right?

Well, it's obvious some people still value office furniture at the Capital more highly than an opportunity at life. The left thinks this is a 'gotcha' moment for the right, but they couldn't be anymore wrong.

So you have to justify why you made a profit in Biden’s economy. Obviously, he's coming to shake them down for green investment cash. He must be sniffing AOC's hair.

"I'm a parent of kids that identify as LGBTQ, and so I'm just fighting to make sure they are safe and comfortable in schools as all kiddos should be," Chris McCormick, a mother from Fairfax, told Fox News Digital. "Protect every child also means protecting our LGBT students who are often at greater risk for a lot of things." Kids, as in plural? What the hell is going on in your house, lady?

Well, the evidence isn't there for a conviction, but if you simply want an indictment you don't need much. Seems like a big waste of time if that's the end game.
