House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also told reporters he was blindsided by the provision and that he found it "way out of line."

You, the Speaker, were blind sighted by legislation you pushed? May I question your competence?

What would Sam say?

Get over it. "Dialed digits." No privacy interest. Been that way for decades. AI overview:

Under U.S. law, specifically the Supreme Court's ruling in Smith v. Maryland (1979), individuals generally have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the telephone numbers they dial.

This legal principle, a key component of the "third-party doctrine," dictates that information voluntarily shared with a third party"in this case, the phone company's equipment to connect a call"is not protected by the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirements.

Funny that the House attempts to censure a Delegate for "eroding public trust in Congress" by engaging in protected speech with a felon while publicly supporting, even prostrating itself before, a Buffoon and convicted felon sitting in the oval office.

Then they fail at both.

What might the A.B.A. do when a lawyer acts in that manner?

Nothing. ABA does not oversee lawyer conduct state bar associations do.

I know the feeling. Only happened a couple times. Then there's those times where you severely slow down and hope the idiots behind you do the same.

Anybody know what whiteout is? I experienced them in Colorado, all you see is snow nothing else. The same with the rain mentioned above. Just a wall of water. Visibility maybe five certainly less than ten feet.

Yes, before this is over, we'll get perhaps three or four inches of rain.

#12 Yes, thank you.

On a Read Meat for Yellow Dogs thread with a 131 comments on a controversial subject rationality is a rare commodity. So, I'll try an interjection.

By any reasonable standard, to put it simply, the Democratic tactics would have to be judged a total failure: They got nothing in exchange for the pain they inflicted. They went to war, with federal workers and recipients of government services bearing the risk of the battle, unprepared to do what it would take to win. They lacked the moral seriousness not to play at all if they weren't going to have the fortitude to see the matter through.

The optics of this are horrendous, however, "irreparable harm" is a legally essential element of obtaining any form of injunction.
