That painting should be old enough to be in the public domain. (Although photographs thereof get their own copyright terms.)

That could be a tricky legal question. The current law is that changes in the line of succession must be approved by all 15 Commonwealth realms. But this law was itself a regular statute passed by the Westminster parliament.

The principle of parliamentary supremacy demands that no parliament may bind the will of a future parliament. That is, could Westminster just override the 1931 statute when they pass this special “cut out Andrew” bill? There might not be a whole lot that says they can’t.

Saturn V first stage ran RP-1, a kerosene fuel like Jet-A or JP8.

The Presidential immunity does not extend to the President’s underlings, such as DHS Secretary Noem, or the CBP officer that actually collected a tariff from you.

This is the look of a man who has had a day. (He was released with no charge after questioning.)

I’d be on board with reactivating the Tower.

Interesting because factions in Belfast use those exact colors.

Damn revenuers!

We got rich after the war because everyone else was rubble and we still had factories.

This is it. Most of the wealth* of a nation is real estate (and residential real estate is a very large fraction). Money, including gold or the like, is a very small portion of wealth. Europe’s wealth was literally burned to the ground and blown to smithereens. North America, on the other hand, kept all the wealth it had. So it became wealthier by comparison.

*I’m talking about wealth here, not income.

And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

More like after they lose the prelim injunction and the stay pending appeal. My guess, in the 8th circuit, is that they stand a chance at winning the stay pending appeal, which would let them keep rolling for a while.

It’s a non trivial piece of 10th amendment litigation. Maybe Minnesota has a sovereign right to investigate a homicide. But does that oblige the feds to do or not do something? Does it matter if the feds are the only way to get critical evidence? Is it important whether the feds are actively trying to thwart and deny MN’s police power? Does MN have to prove they can beat the Supremacy Clause on this case before they can get stuff?

Which theory explains why he has not accomplished the above.

Don’t forget the 6th amendment right to the assistance of counsel.

The credit card companies have always tried to prevent merchants from doing this by inserting language prohibiting either credit card surcharges or cash discounts into the contract agreements with the merchants. Obviously, credit card companies want to make it easy and convenient for consumers to use their credit cards.

I can’t immediately find it, but at some point I think 10-15 years ago, some merchants sued the credit card companies over this, and they won a court ruling that said that the clauses forbidding cash discounts and surcharging are unenforceable. As a result, merchants are now free to do it, but there are various rules. And some state legislatures have started to get involved with regulating things.

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a “private club” where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of “your” personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.

Hey,

The Air Force has experience with balloons now.

They would show up with a lot of nice, big, expensive looking cameras, too. Not the cheapo disposable ones.

Update: It now seems possible that the “cartel drones” may have actually been party balloons.
