    los angeles traffic

    Generally you should be fine on a Saturday morning. You may want to leave at 6 am just in case they're doing any early work on the 405 / 10 interchange and / or the 405 / 101 interchange.

    Sexting Tiger Woods Threatened To "Slap, Spank, Bite and $&@% Till Mercy

    It's all shorthand. There's probably a character limit to his messages, so instead of sending two messages with a weird cutoff in the middle, you send one message that's understandable. I don't know where you guys get this feigned indignation.

    Banned for Bad Tipping

    If you're going to run with hypotheticals, especially economical hypotheticals, then you need to continue onwards to the logical end. After these servers (who are not in a professions that requires heavy, front-loaded investments) find a substitute business to work in, then the bad servers will...

    Banned for Bad Tipping

    If that's the issue, then there's either a problem with minimum wage or there's a problem with the restaurant industry itself. If the restaurant isn't paying more than minimum wages to the restaurant servers, then that's an issue of the industry being either overly competitive or the industry...

    Banned for Bad Tipping

    This depends on the state. Not every state allows for pay under the minimum wage. States like CA where it's mandatory to pay minimum wage, then any tip earned is a windfall for the server.

    Judge refuses marriage license to interracial couple in Louisiana

    Loving v. Virginia This should be the case they're referring to. The case was brought in 1963 but was decided in 1967. Due process for fundamental rights (marriage).

    Stallworth gets a year off for drunk driving death.

    Probably the same reason why you get a DUI manslaughter charge if you kill a person while intoxicated and only a DUI charge if you don't hit anyone.

    26001 pound truck vs guy on a bicyle

    I would be willing to bet that the (B) criteria is not actually subjective but based on a mix of subjective and the objective reasonable person standard. Rarely will the law allow a purely subjective law as it creates enforcement issues.

    In DC for the weekend

    If I caught you on time, you might want to try Ray's Hell Burger or Ray's the Steaks. They're both very close to where you are staying since they're in Rosslyn.

    In DC for the weekend

    What kind of stuff would you like to do? There's Adams Morgan, Dupont, Georgetown, K Street, etc. Adams Morgan and Logan Circle are more music oriented bars and dance clubs. K Street has some very fancy lounges. Georgetown has some nice restaurants and a neat old colonial feel. Dupont is...

    Obama takes the misses out for dinner. In NYC!!!! At the taxpayer expense

    You don't even have accurate numbers but you're running around outraged at the cost. How does this make sense to you? If you're going to argue the finer points of government spending at least wait until some numbers are out and if the numbers don't come out, you can complain about how Obama...

    California High Court to Rule on Gay Marriage

    It takes alot to overturn precedent. Stare decisis is generally well respected even amongst the Supreme Court. If the current court was to say that the LGBTQ crowd is not a suspect class (based on characteristics like political power, minority statuts, immutable nature, etc.), then they will...

    California High Court to Rule on Gay Marriage

    Well, at least it won't be until the next SCOTUS term so hopefully there will be some progress maybe in more of the states that will pressure the current SCOTUS composition into finding a heightened scrutiny. Worst case scenario will be Scalia convincing the rest that homosexuals only deserve a...

    California High Court to Rule on Gay Marriage

    The makeup of the current SCOTUS would not be favorable to finding homosexuals as belonging to a suspect class. Even during Lawrence v. Texas, the court held back on finding homosexuals as a class deserving of heightened scrutiny. The lawyers have been wise to keep this issue out of the SCOTUS...

    Teen Charged After Attack Caught On Tape

    2nd Degree Murder on an extreme recklessness basis is the more likely murder charge if the state doesn't use the MPC.

    California High Court to Rule on Gay Marriage

    I wonder what will happen first. The demographics of the states changing enough that the individual states will legalize same sex marriage or SCOTUS changing in composition enough so that homosexuals will be listed as a protected class. Additionally, I wonder if SCOTUS would give them strict...

    Cops like these give the rest a bad name

    Indeed it is but the focus of probable cause is still based upon the principle that someone is innocent. Even with differing levels of burdens of proof, the purpose of those burdens are to keep the innocent from the exacting power of the state. I don't really think we're arguing about...

    Cops like these give the rest a bad name

    Probable cause is based on the principle of innocent until proven guilty. The 4th Amendment is there to protect against unreasonable seizures, especially those of the police. You are indeed subject to the same rules as the rest of the justice system.

    Montana up's the ante' on States Rights

    Well, the USSC has expanded the reach of the Commerce Clause significantly since that 1824 case. Even in that case, Marshall stated that the Congress could regulate any commerce that affected other states. This was expanded to the high point in Wickard v. Filburn to even regulating the wheat...

    Should she be allowed to play?

    Does anyone feel like the article has basically diminished the continued growth in female physical prowess by claiming that no woman could ever do what she has done. Also, being 22 and still ranked 619, as Gag pointed out, means she's not dominating the woman's tour. Basically, people will...

    New South Park tonight

    Yea, usually it takes longer but for some reason, this one was up. Maybe because it's the first episode or maybe because with this new season they were able to renegotiate some of the show's terms with Comedy Central so that it could be put online quicker

    "Mask" from the Tapout Crew dies in crash

    This is basically the key point of contention between you and the board. You are more sympathetic to a stupid costly mistake whereas the others feel that not only was it stupid and costly, but that he was reckless in endangering other people's lives. The stretch of road he was driving on...
