How does one federal judge have the power to override legislation signed into law by a governor?

Take it to SCOTUS and stop this legislating from the bench.

This sounds like it's exactly what this is. Legislating from the bench.
Verizon is a different network technology than T-Mobile/att I didn’t know you could switch the same phone between the two.

Depends on the temperature outside, the time of day, the day of the week, and if there's a cigar lit in my general area.

Smothered merliton with shrimp has always been a staple in our family Christmas gatherings. 100% pure cajun on both sides.

He tries to maintain a "neutral position" and listen to both sides, but he ends up just giving both sides a platform to spew their lies with no challenges.

This is where Rogan surpasses him, Rogan will push back and call his guests out, most of the time.

SRS needs to stick to interviewing special ops guys.

The high speed rail was a pretty cool experience. Fairs were less than expected and each time I booked the day before once we figured out when we’d be ready to go.

How old is your daughter? That may make a difference.

I can manage maybe 11 days total

We did 11 days.

4 days in Rome (Sposi Novelli)

3.5 days in Florence / Tuscany

Stopped in Bologna for a few hours on the way to Venice

3 days in Venice.


Would do about the same in Rome just because there's so much to do and see.

Would do more in Florence because it was our favorite

Would do less in Venice. To be honest we could have done one day in Venice to do the tour and been happy. Food was good but anticlimactic after coming from Rome and Florence.
From my years in the fire department (relatively recently) I never came across any smart systems like that, and we responded to a lot of upper class homes and new builds.

The system in my house has a "primary detector" in the hallway and smaller satellite detectors in each room. They are all connected so that when one goes off they all go off, and the primary announces which room is in active alarm. They are also powered by my breaker panel. The battery in each one is for backup when the power goes out. They were changed when we bought the house 7 years ago, and when we replaced all the detectors in 2023 when they expired. ETA they each have a 10 year lithium battery.
