I've been told I should relax and trust our system of checks and balances, but it feels like the SC just turned up the heat on our Boil the Frog scenario.

Always Be Crootin'

would be funny if it wasn't true

Yeah, I've seen that. The conservative justices want to delay it as long as possible so it further delays some of his trials so they aren't decided before the election. Yes, this should be the most important decision they are deciding and it should be done immediately. Watching the SCOTUS recently drills home the opinion I've had for a long time. The SC is best when it's a 5-4 split. One side having a large majority on the SC is a really bad thing.

Very well said. This is a corrupt Supreme Court. They barely touched on the only question they should have been considering. Here's the whole thread: As with the three-hour argument in Trump v. Anderson, a disconcertingly precious little of the two-hour argument today was even devoted to the specific and only question presented for decision. The Court and the parties discussed everything but the specific question presented. That question is simply whether a former President of the United States may be prosecuted for attempting to remain in power notwithstanding the election of his successor by the American People. thereby also depriving his lawfully elected successor of the powers of the presidency to which that successor became entitled upon his rightful election by the American People -- and preventing the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. It is not even arguably a core power or function of the President of the United States to ensure the fairness, accuracy, and integrity of a presidential election. Let alone is it a core power or function of the President of the United States to ensure the proper certification of the next president by the Congress of the United States. Neither of these is a power or function of the president at all. In fact, the Framers of the Constitution well understood the enormous potential for self-interested conflict were the President to have a role in these fundamental constitutional functions. Consequently, they purposely and pointedly withheld from the President any role in these fundamental constitutional functions. To whatever extent the Framers implicitly provided in the Executive any role whatsoever in these fundamental constitutional functions, it was a limited role for the Executive Branch, through the Department of Justice, to inquire into allegations of fraud in presidential elections and ensure that the election was free, fair, and accurate. The former president’s Department of Justice did just that and found that there was no fraud sufficient to draw into question the results of the 2020 presidential election. The former president of course has refused to this day to accept that finding by not only his own Department of Justice, but also countless others of his closest advisors. Whether undertaken in his or her “official,” “candidate,” or “personal” capacity, a President of the United States has never been and can never be immune from prosecution (after leaving office), for having attempted to remain in power notwithstanding the election of that President’s successor by the American People. Consequently, there is no reason whatsoever for the Supreme Court to remand to the lower courts for a determination of which of the alleged criminal acts might have been personal and which might have been official. Neither is a clear statement from Congress that a president is subject to prosecution under the statutes with which the former president has been charged necessary in this particular case. As applied to the former president for the criminal conduct with which he has been charged, there can be no question but that Congress intended a President of the United States to come within the ambit of the statutory offenses with which he has been charged. For the same reason, it would be ludicrous to contend that the former president was not on sufficient notice that if he committed the criminal acts charged, he would be subject to criminal prosecution by the United States of America. To hold otherwise would make a mockery out of the “plain statement” rule.

Nebraska was the clear leader two weeks ago. After the Alabama OV, "experts" went with the tide because they couldn't see Dawson picking us over them. Raiola (His visit host) and HCMR are recruiting him personally. His dad is a coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and his mom has hit it off with Dylan's mom. Nebraska also has a clear vision for him on D compared to other schools (Jack position). Proximity matters here too. All in all, I think Nebraska is going to get him.

That’s pretty good advice!

How's everyone feeling about their team's picks last night? Cowboys added some value by trading back and got the guy they seemed to want all along. I do worry that he played RT almost exclusively. Although he didn't allow a sack last year. Bo Nix time in Denver... Seemed a little high but sounds like that's they Payton wanted @Mavric 49ers took a WR? Have to get @Guy Chamberlin's take on that

I love that you can ask Ai to create a commercial for a non-existent 1950s theme park for you, and marvel at the nightmare it comes up with.

They've been trying to placate runthedamnballguy in the press conferences by saying they're just not focused on the running game because they're confident in it from last year, but anyone even remotely paying attention should see right through that. They know they have a kid with a rocket laser arm and a room of potentially very explosive wide receivers and most of those aforementioned pieces are simply young and inexperienced. What we see a lot in teams fitting Nebraska's profile of having to start a young QB after coming off a season where they ran the ball pretty effectively and had a pretty good defense is to protect the young QB and rely on those other elements. Are we seeing that in practice? No, not even close. Two of these guys should be worried who they're taking to the senior prom right now and instead are watching White play dial-a-blitz on them. They're trying to cram as much experience into these young guys as they can. My opinion, and that's all it is worth, is there is a belief in that building that if this offense can even remotely approach its potential that this can be an extremely good team this year. They're not treating this like they just need to win a couple more games and go bowling.

Yes, agree on the bold. Of course I use to think the same about Congress - Dem / GOP split. But until the GOP gets rid of its cultish/MAGA ways, I don't want them controlling either the house or the senate.

Yeah, I've seen that. The conservative justices want to delay it as long as possible so it further delays some of his trials so they aren't decided before the election. How do you know this?

He's not leaning Nebraska at all.

sounds like passthedamnballguy is going to be happy

They'll take Edwards if they can land him, not sure I'd say he's leaning Nebraska's way, though.

Worth watching to the very end.

And pardoned by the person with absolute immunity.

65K a year a year and they don't even get the choice to walk. That sucks, maybe not even so much for the student but more for their family.

Largely mitigated by the fact that so much of what the advice-giver swore would never happen, has happened.

IDK, the checks and balances have been pretty darned insufficient here the last few years. If they were working properly, DJT could not and would not be a viable presidential candidate. Obviously there are some flaws or something is broken.

$56.80 away from breakeven. LET'S GO!!!!

He also just tweeted an offer from Mich St.

Unsurprisingly visiting this weekend Has also been on campus several times this spring

The other side of this is.. You have to have a QB willing to just be the #2, which is hard enough to find, let alone find in the transfer portal. What you do have in HH is a guy who doesn't believe in his soul that he's a number 1 at this time in his career. So, in essence, you have a guy that is reasonably ok with being the #2. On top of that, you have a guy that has been around for multiple years, knows the scheme, and has a staff that has some already established twists within that scheme they can work to allow you to be a bit more successful with your limited upside. As we've seen, he is capable of getting you a couple wins in the Big10 in a pinch with the tools he does possess, he's just not going to be able to carry an offense. You'd hope even if you had to patch a few games with HH because DR goes down with a broken leg, it may be enough to get DK up to speed enough to step in if necessary. There's a bit of "luck" involved with any QB room staying healthy and functional. I think Rhule is hoping for it, but I think he has a reasonable room to work with if catastrophe would hit. Let's be honest, it's a very young room to begin with. I think he knows patience is in order no matter which way things go.

I've seen him play, and I too never believe the stuff that they say anymore. No offense to HH at all, but he simply should not be at that position. The fact that we still have him there and at number 2 is not a good sign, but DK gets a pass for being a freshman. He isn't at #2 out of being good, he's simply the second best option right now. If DR gets hurt we are in a world of trouble again, especially when they are wanting to sling the ball all over the place moving forward it seems.

If Haarberg is that good, then great. I'm not taking Sipp's word for it, though.

Well, ZIM hit, just took longer than I thought!

Some have written that the ruling will not come until the end of the court calendar - end of June This should be an emergency decision.

So .... Saban admits to tampering...

I will be the first to admit I’m wrong. But I’m just not seeing the continuity in development with relying on transfers — especially if Coach Prime losses a lot in the portal. But what do I know.

I guess I shouldn’t repeat everything my high school son tells me…

Wtf is happening

That gets sticky in a situation such as the one we went through only three years ago. Trump could have called out the military to back his coup attempt and as we've seen, his sycophants in Congress would never impeach him. Next time, if he's elected and his Project 2025 comes to fruition he'll have vetted loyalists to do his bidding. If an authoritarian we're to pull it off he'd never become a normal citizen. In our history we've never had a president need immunity from breaking the law while in office. There wouldn't be a never ending load of cases. That hasn't happened before. Frivolous cases would be bounced immediately.

The primary difference being that, in this instance, it sets a precedent for authoritarianism. See above. Congrats on creating this. Wish I could say that it was difficult to see coming and that Trump really veered off course, but you know, decades of being a piece of s#!t kind of eliminates that excuse.

There are examples all the time where defense attorneys either turn down cases or refuse to make a certain argument that the client wants because it's just wrong.

Seems kinda underwhelming after getting the #1 QB in the country the class before? Who knows I guess. Maybe they all turn out to be first day draft picks.
