I don’t think it’s moot because the SEC specifically phrased the complaint to claim the First Amendment injury persists even if LSU never rosters the players. Filling the roster probably kills any genuine argument that emergency relief is necessary, though.

There are definitely jurisdiction and venue questions though. Having to do with what exactly the SEC is as an entity, LSU as an arm of the state, etc. If the court rules favorably for LSU on those they won’t even get into the meat of the lawsuit today.
I would expect it to be significantly shorter. Oral arguments on venue, the manufactured emergency of the meeting tomorrow/threshold issues of the bogus 1A claim, and getting around the Anti-injunction Act.

Still interesting, but not the sexy testimony driven hearing they had last week at the 19th JDC.

What would make things very interesting is if the court holds venue is proper and LSU turns around and files a Sherman act claim.
LSU is in breach of its membership obligations for doing what, exactly?
What about when teams keep players with criminal histories or other unsavory character issues?

Where does the slippery slope of expressive association end if spending minimal time at a pro camp is offensive to the point of a constitutional crisis?
The legal issues themselves are actually not particularly complicated.

The redistricting pissing match won’t end until the artificial cap on the size of the House imposed in the 1920s is done away with. Even if it means we have to more than double the size of the House. Communities deserve to have someone represent their community, not some artificial blob drawn to win a zero sum game.

A bigger House means dark money becomes less efficient.

In the 21st Century Reps should be able to vote electronically, so the physical constraints of the size of the Capitol in DC aren’t the obstacle they once were. In fact, why do our reps need to be in Washington away from their constituents at all anymore?
Is it just me or does his complexion look a little light to be a minority inspector?
What has Letlow done to deserve her house seat, let alone the senate seat? Her career is in liberal education and riding her dead husbands coattails.

Fleming at least has a track record of standing for something.
This is correct. The M4 is an AR-15. Different stock and barrel but the DI/internal piston that is the heart of the rifle is the same.

The M4 is actually one of the last true AR platform rifles still in service. The HK 416 the marines use and the new Sig M7 rifle they are trying to make work in the army are short stroke piston guns.

re: RMR Red Dot?

RMR footprint optics mount directly onto a slide cut to fit it or use an adapter plate system. The original dot that popularized the mounting method is made by trijicon, and it is expensive. Lots of other companies make dots that use the RMR footprint now, though.

M&Ps do come in optic ready variants that come with a number of plastic adapters you can use, including RMR, or you can get an aftermarket metal plate.

If you don’t have an optic ready variant, you’re kind of SOL unless you have your slide milled or replaced. Might as well get another gun at that point.

If you only have $80k to work with you’re not simply exchanging an asset for an asset. You’re going to be servicing debt on the mortgage you will need to cover the balance. Then the issue is not only does the investment have to outperform the S&P, it has to cover those maintenance and upkeep expenses too.

The S&P has been performing well and index funds have super cheap service fees. I don’t see a portfolio of 100% residential rentals beating that consistently over time. Ever.

If you want to diversify your portfolio to include real estate down the road, that’s another story, but I wouldn’t go all in on it.

Flavor wise it won’t matter. Only thing to keep in mind is olive oil has a relatively low smoke point and can turn if heated too high. Again, though, you’ll be good as long as you’re on top of your temp and don’t try to rush.

Not sure what the mounting solution they use on the APX is but Holosun has options with the RMR footprint that’ll be good enough for the vast majority of people. Vortex is starting to have options too now and their warranties are great.

Consider getting one with an enclosed emitter if you plan to conceal carry it daily or run it hard.
The dispute is over an area off Essen/United Plaza and around the Woman’s Hospital campus. BTR annexed them after the vote but before SG had the capacity to challenge the annexations.

I think the result of his shot speaks for itself. 800 yards is hard to justify. I don’t care if you’re out west or on the moon.
What’s wrong with the exemption on cap gains from sale of a primary residence we already have?
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”
It’s like pornography. I don’t know what the precise definition is, but I definitely know it when I see it.
I am pretty sure each of the episodes were shot in a single take, which is impressive from a filmmaking standpoint I guess.

Otherwise I agree the story was ultimately underwhelming and I found myself wishing I had spent the time watching doing something else.
