In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

At this rate they're going to be making Star Wars stuff without Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.

Seeing as Ben-Gvir isn't mentioned at all, I think you already have your answer.

This guy sounds real confused. He looked at bat and dog fetuses and thought that those were lifes? How many "lifes" did he terminate during his practice?

Haley? As in Nikki "slavery wasn't a cause of the Civil War" Haley? Nikki "six week abortion ban" Haley? Nikki "withdraw the US from the Human Rights Council because of its 'chronic bias against Israel'" Haley?

It was already a deadly situation. Or are you saying that drowning migrants are more acceptable.

They're just saying that the court could rule that the amendment by itself is inactionable until the legislature enacts laws to create a process to disqualify candidates. Similar to how Article III declared a judiciary branch, but it wasn't actually established until Congress passed the Judiciary Act, describing what kind of courts there would actually be, what their jurisdictions would be, how many justices would comprise the court, etc. etc.

But in this case, the amendment is clearly prohibiting an action. With a reasonable court, I can't imagine how they'd just allow somebody to continue violating the Constitution until Congress passed additional legislation to stop it. It's as ludicrous as saying that the executive branch can unreasonably search and seize anything they'd like until Congress explicitly spells out each and every action that's unreasonable and provides the exact remedy process to follow when the 4th amendment is violated.

I mean, it's a pretty moot point because the court has already shown that they're perfectly willing to create whatever calvinball rules they want. But of course good old liberal media has to get in there and grant an air of credibility to whatever flimsy justification they come up with that's even the slightest bit plausible sounding.

If the court wants to come out and say that they judge the President isn't an officer of the United States or that he wasn't personally engaged in an insurrection, then that's one thing. But kicking it over to Congress to legislate exactly what's prohibited by the Constitution and/or what the remedies are is just opening up a huge can of worms.

No, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital's solar panels.

Unfortunately they've either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there's a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.

They may have help in other places too - Mike Johnson (now Speaker of the House) was senior legal counsel at ADF for nearly a decade.

A roll-call vote in the conference indicated that there were over 20 who opposed Emmer, far more than the four Republicans he could afford to lose on the House floor.

Candidates for round 4 must declare by 5:30 PM, with the next candidate forum starting at 6 PM tonight.

Byron Donalds, ~~Kevin Hern,~~ Mike Johnson, and ~~Roger Williams~~ are returning from the last round. ~~Mark Green~~ and ~~Chuck Fleischmann~~ are newly entering their hats into the ring. Next GOP vote will start at 8 PM tonight.

Kevin Hern has dropped out, endorsing Johnson.

Johnson leads by far after the first round of ballots with 85. The other candidates on the first ballot got 86 total, including Fleischmann who will be eliminated from the next round with only 10 votes. Other candidates not on the ballot got 30 votes.

Johnson still leading after the second ballot with 97 votes. Donalds 31, Green 21, Williams 20. Williams in last place gets eliminated, Green has dropped out, leaving just Johnson and Donalds. McCarthy got 33 votes despite not being on the ballot, another person not on the ballot got 1 vote, and 3 people voted present.

Johnson wins the nomination with 128 votes to Byron Donalds' 29. McCarthy also received 43 votes despite not being a candidate nor being on the ballot.

Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Nearly $100 per pill

Edit: nearly $50 per pill, thought a course was 15 pills instead of 30. Still outrageous.

That's the thing about felony murder. If her death occurred as a result of their commission of a felony, then they should be on the hook for felony murder. It doesn't matter that they didn't directly kill her.

Felony murder isn't a phrase to disambiguate between a murder that's a felony and some kind of nonexistent misdemeanor murder. It refers to a very specific type of "murder" where somebody dies as a result of somebody else committing a felony. The commission of the felony is enough to make the person liable - they don't have to have intended to kill anybody in the process or be directly involved in the death.

Four unarmed teenagers break into a house. The homeowner shoots and kills one of them. The three survivors are all liable for felony murder for the fourth's death, and can face life in prison or even a death sentence.

A group of criminals break into a house. One stays outside as a lookout, completely unaware of what is happening in the house. The elderly homeowner tries to stop the criminals in the house, but slips and falls and hits his head and dies from a brain hemorrhage. The lookout is liable for felony murder.

Two cops are having a disagreement at work. They get a call of a burglary in progress and drive out there and start chasing the suspect. One of the cops shoots at the suspect, but "accidentally" misses and fatally wounds the other cop they were fighting with back at the station. The burglar is liable for felony murder for the cop's death.

If the same standards were applied to the criminals who raided the journalist's house, then they'd all be charged with felony murder.
