Is it April fools? please still be April’s fools, checks calendar, dammit, not April’s fools still. It’s actually news.

That is what juries are for. Judges are supposed to be the specialist technocrats of legal system. Juries are then for “feelings of the society” matters. Most importantly nobody has to campaign or owe anyone large sums of money to get into jury.

Electing judges in the first place undermines trust in neutrality of the courts. Since it undermines neutrality of the courts. It makes judges make campaign promises they have to keep to not anger people and makes them indebted to their campaign financiers.

Like how is this supposed shocking new news just because someone spent finally even more money on a judicial election race. Word combination which shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Good of him to notice, the campaign seems to be working then. Thus carry on and continue demonstrating and boycotting people.

Bold of you to assume he over ends up fully sober and doesn’t just take “corrective series” first thing next morning to make the hangover and withdrawal go away.

Which is exactly why people were “this is going to bite us in the behind”, when patriot act and so on was originally done and so on.

Way easier to change “who is terrorist”, than “give us authorization to do this new thing” in the first place.

Yet again with the media, the astronauts aren’t stuck on ISS. It is blatantly false to headline such. Haven’t been since ehhh was it November. They have a perfectly working lifeboat capsule with seats. They could return any moment now should it be deemed necessary.

Their mission profile got changed. They are now part of the next expedition crew and as such their normal schedule return depends on, when replacement expedition arrives to maintain continuity of expeditions. Couple other astronauts expeditions slots got bumped to make this happen.

These are professional astronauts. Being part of expedition crews is pinnacle achievement of one’s career. Not to mention with both of them given their age and time already in space, this is their last space mission. I doubt they much mind their last mission is instead of week long test flight of a new capsule, an 8 month long long stay space station expedition. Ending ones in space career in style with a long stay expedition doing experiments and studies on ISS.
