My God. “Legal analyst.” Liberal activist.

Skip all 3 of those hacks and start with AP and Reuters! Msnbc especially has because as bad as Faux news.

Don’t tell me how to feel!! 😁🍸🚬

Birthright citizenship is not an issue that requires a trial in a lower court. That's for what lawyers call a "contested issue of fact." There is no contested issue of fact. You were born in the USA of two illegal aliens. Are you a citizen under the 15th Amendment, or are you not a citizen under Trump's EO? We call that a "pure issue of law." The Supreme Court could've decided it on the merits right now. Instead they said "no national injunctions," which is fair (to me) but is also an invitation to chaos. Well, yes. But unfortunately this is a case that proves a different political point, namely that Supreme Court Justices live in their academic ivory towers and are oblivious (or intentionally ignore) the practical effects of their decisions. Just decide the damn issue, not the procedural aspects. Are kids born in the USA to illegal aliens after the effective date of the EO citizens or not? Can you get a passport for the kid? What if the kid is born to lawful foreign grad students? The kid gets a passport if he lives in California but not if he lives in Texas? You move to California to magically make the kid a citizen? Justices need to live in the real world. The Supreme Court should seek to bring order and stability, not to encourage chaos.

Does Autopen know if it appointed a WOMAN?

I nominate @teef

@The Frankish Reich this seems logical to me, but I'm just a regular guy making his way through life. What say you? ***oops, I see Francisish already opined. Ty, Frank! My summary of Frank's summary...the government for all it's moving parts and all the money coming in is still woefully inadequate at being efficient.

There's plenty of true reporting. Maybe not a ton of deep reporting, but that's not really as much on the media as it is what people say and how often they talk. Investigative journalism? Yeah, not much, but there's not much of a way to do that in football. Reporters only get access at PCs, there are NFL rules about what can be reported and what can't. In every field public figures have learned how to keep reporters away. What are they gonna do? The science of public relations has taken over and public figures don't take risks or reveal much. This does indeed result in a lot of shallow stuff, boring stuff. The NFL doesn't seem to mind.

I was at the practice when Kolb slipped on the mat. People started checking Twitter on their phones because we all realized he wasn't on the field. That didn't end his career though. He got hit in the back of the head during a pre season game causing a concussion. That's what ended his career.

A local reporter challenged me to a fight once when I told him the University of Buffalo wasn’t an official nickname for UB. Hamilton and Harrington were block machines the last time I was on twitter.

That game was the light switch for me in going from casual fan to hardcore.

It was common knowledge here at the time that the Panthers believed that. Do you really not recall that? The whole thing caught Bills fans and the Buffalo media by surprise. It wasn't a Buffalo generated narrative but pretty damn obvious, pretty damn quick in hindsight. You gotta' remember the context here was the Bills being Billsy. The idea that they would keep Whaley around for a year or two even if he didn't seem to mesh with McDermott was entirely plausible. That had been the case with the two prior HC's Whaley worked with. The sham McBeane pulled off was actually very clever. Get the intel you want from the scouts you trust. That was the only way they get the finished board and evaluations. Like I said.........the flaw was McD allowing KC to trade up for a QB in your spot. It's likely blocked them from reaching 2-4 SB's.

True story... I go from MSNBC, CNN,FOX, news nation everyday to piece together some remote semblance of truth. And yet I still feel misinformed... media are nothing but political spin doctors.

Tough day for many but as Roundy has said ad nauseam, unfortunately, “follow scotus”.

Are you under 60?

After the last 5 incredibly fun and entertaining seasons, the only reasonable expectation now is to go to the superbowl. Anything less than that will be a letdown. I will still enjoy the regular season and all the drama; but let's be honest, the Bills are at a level where anything less than the SB is familiar territory. I am most excited about seeing how the draft class and offseason free agents improve the Defense. I am also interested in seeing the new offensive FA additions. I am somewhat indifferent about special teams.

Why not FireChan2.0? The upgraded version. I thought Chans was an odd choice at first, but used to it now I nominate @muppy!!

So after urging Terry to sign Rex and him turning into a disaster within two years…

Everyone is making great points. I think I'll start a podcast about it.

I saw that interview, it was fantastic. Simple yet brilliant observations.

Then he should bust out his checkbook and give his money away. So sick of this ***** narrative. You want to give reparation, you should volunteer into a 5% tax for blacks.

The reparations discussion is a ploy to try and regain African American voters. Trump received more African American votes that any Republican in the last fifty years. The democrats know reparations are not feasible. How will they force 342 million people to take a DNA test? What about people who have both slave and slave holder DNA? What about American ancestors of the African tribal chiefs who sold their people into slavery to start with? Do we include reparations for ancestors of white slaves from the Barbary Coast from ancestors of slave holders from North Africa? Do we stop at American slavery, or do we include ancestors of Jewish people who endured the Holocaust? American ancestors of people subjugated by the Romans, Ottomans, Chinese, Egyptians, and Mayans? Where does it stop? Find me a person who didn't have an ancestor persecuted at some point in history, you're going to be looking awhile. The mere mention of reparations is a complete and utter scam to attempt to convince African Americans in poverty that there is a golden ticket waiting for them. Corey Booker is either a complete idiot or a total scumbag.

Everything in life is cause and effect. The reason media is the way the OP observed is that there’s very little true reporting or investigative journalism being done. That sort of thing takes lots of time and costs lots of money. What we have instead is people just spouting opinions or repeating other people’s opinions. With a plethora of outlets competing for attention each story burns red hot for a week and then the circus packs up and moves on to the next car accident. The only remaining question is whether it’ll reach such a critical mass that it completely folds in on itself and/or explodes in supernova.

What's good for the goose ... https://www.dallasnews.com/news/courts/2018/12/18/a-look-at-the-low-key-texas-judge-who-tossed-obamacare-shows-a-history-of-notable-conservative-cases/ Both sides play the "choose a favorable district/get a national injunction" game. Democratic groups invented it; Republicans perfected it. It is a good decision in general, but the missing part is this: if individual judges can't issue nationwide injunctions, the Supreme Court is going to have to get a lot more efficient at reviewing policy changes quickly. Since we don't have that, the immediate outcome will be lawsuits on birthright citizenship in 90+ federal districts, no doubt with conflicting rulings. Born in north Texas to illegal immigrants? Not a citizen. Move west to NM? Bingo! Citizen. Unworkable.
