14·3 days agoNo. She took this case to a grand jury for indictment, but the jurors voted 24-0 to reject the charges.

World News•Australia backs removal of ex-Prince Andrew from line of successionEnglish
1·3 days agoIs it still possible to get him out of the line of succession by forcing him to convert to Catholicism?
And this is why ICE is shooting themselves a lot more than they used to.

NonCredibleDefense@piefed.social•Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
1·3 days agoSeems like it might have an interference problem with the forward assist.
A large chunk of that space in LA is called “the Florida parishes” because they were part of the Florida territory before they were a part of Louisiana.
That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain. (Although photographs thereof get their own copyright terms.)

World News•Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of successionEnglish
5·6 days agoThat could be a tricky legal question. The current law is that changes in the line of succession must be approved by all 15 Commonwealth realms. But this law was itself a regular statute passed by the Westminster parliament.
The principle of parliamentary supremacy demands that no parliament may bind the will of a future parliament. That is, could Westminster just override the 1931 statute when they pass this special “cut out Andrew” bill? There might not be a whole lot that says they can’t.

Interesting because factions in Belfast use those exact colors.
We got rich after the war because everyone else was rubble and we still had factories.
This is it. Most of the wealth* of a nation is real estate (and residential real estate is a very large fraction). Money, including gold or the like, is a very small portion of wealth. Europe’s wealth was literally burned to the ground and blown to smithereens. North America, on the other hand, kept all the wealth it had. So it became wealthier by comparison.
*I’m talking about wealth here, not income.
And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

politics •FBI officially refuses to give local investigators any evidence in Minneapolis shootings
9·10 days agoMore like after they lose the prelim injunction and the stay pending appeal. My guess, in the 8th circuit, is that they stand a chance at winning the stay pending appeal, which would let them keep rolling for a while.
It’s a non trivial piece of 10th amendment litigation. Maybe Minnesota has a sovereign right to investigate a homicide. But does that oblige the feds to do or not do something? Does it matter if the feds are the only way to get critical evidence? Is it important whether the feds are actively trying to thwart and deny MN’s police power? Does MN have to prove they can beat the Supremacy Clause on this case before they can get stuff?
Which theory explains why he has not accomplished the above.
Don’t forget the 6th amendment right to the assistance of counsel.
