Have we considered the possibility that the woman suing her neighbor in St. Louis Park about all the basketball shots the kids miss was thinking she lived next door to tonight's TWolves team shooting from 3?

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.
Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules
Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

WMU tops Denver 3-2 in 2OT. Michigan becomes the first state to have seven different schools (Michigan, MSU, Tech, LSS, Ferris, Northern, and now WMU) play in a Men's National Championship game, breaking the tie with NY (Union, Colgate, Cornell, Clarkson, RPI, St. Lawrence).

As nerve-racking as the district court's "here is an order out of the blue via email" system may be, it is better than the Minnesota appellate courts' "We have decided your case, and we will tell you our decision in exactly 93 hours and 17 minutes" approach.

Hearing on Show-Cause order in JGG v. Trump beginning soon. I (along with other people on this site probably more adept at minute updates) will try to keep this thread updated as best I can. You can also dial in at 833-990-9400, Meeting ID 049550816#

As I look at the Pairwise, Michigan is in a very perilous spot at 14. AHA doesn't have anyone in the Top 16, so the line moves up to 15, but Mankato is at 16 and they will be CCHA's autobid, so the line is at 14 (ASU). So Michigan should be out of the NCAAs if any of the following happens:

At my old job, a Federal Magistrate responded to an argument made by my opposing counsel by saying, "Well, you've got to be kidding me." This.... is even worse.

I think this is the fourth game I have heard Brady call. He legitimately does not know what the red zone is called.

I’m going to talk about pages 11, 12, and 13 of this brief in depth, because that is the part where the Trump DOJ tries to defend the Trump Executive Order.
The lawyers here so deeply misrepresent some of the cited material that it should be cause for sanctions in any just world.

three things are simultaneously true:
1) the GOP is trying everything it can to thwart the will of the voters
2) it's a good thing the DFL went hardball to fight it
3) it's *completely* inexcusable the DFL screwed up the residency issue in Roseville

Completely against the will of Minnesotans, who voted in a tie. GOP leaders refused to go forward with a power sharing agreement, hoping to use the gap between the start of session and special election the DFL will win to seize power.
Which they are now doing, against the state constitution.
