Although a RICO case comes close. [More]
You know what? She was with the guy 49 years...? Forget everything else -- she owns half. If he really tried to hide stuff, he's basically set the stage for this.
But expanding things into this arena ought to raise grave concerns. That the 11th Circuit panel "appeared to relish its involvement" tells us much.

His Eminence
CA Gov. Jerry Brown plans to take farms by eminent domain for water tunnels [More]They say what starts in California eventually works its way eastward... perhaps the next civil war...?
‘Special Master’ Order and Replacement of Judge Suggests Fix is In on Dobyns Case
Think of it this way – if the government can eat one of its own like this when he strays from the reservation, think what they can do to any of us. If the system does not provide for a fair trial for someone you don’t care about, how can it provide one for those you do care about? If a fair trial is impossible, that means checks and balances are gone. Piling on the guy fighting against that is not in the interests of anyone except the ones who would rig the system, and the ones who would take that as a green light for corruption and abuse. [More]Oh, look. "Adjudication."
Dan Cofall Show Redux
Click here. Download Aug. 17 Hour 1. He introduces me @ 15:55 in.
One of the things about host-driven conversations is that you often don't have time or opportunity to fully explore, let alone bring up, all the points you were prepared to discuss, and I'd had two there was just no chance to get into, especially since topics were expanded in the second segment. Which gave us a chance to bring up some other good stuff, including NRA, GOP candidates and "I will not comply."
The first was suggested by colleague Laocoön, who emailed:
A so-called prohibited person should have recourse to appeal an adjudication to a fair jury trial, both for the right of the individual accused and for the public to keep a liberty check on any adjudication system, especially in quasi-criminal circumventions of jury trial like restraining orders, but also in mental adjudication cases. If someone is adjudicated to be unstable and dangerous, then they shouldn't be on the street at all. They should be in an institution. And they should have timely recourse to appeal to a fair jury trial to make sure it's not Soviet style adjudication ...I did get a chance to touch on that, just not to focus on it.
The second came from WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H:
[T]his is an important piece of information to offer as a reminder: the fact the USDOJ proposed back in January 2014 to amend the regulations to 'punish' (my term) those who were committed to OUT-patient treatment. That was not at all what the GCA '68 architects intended ...Does Cornyn seek to repeal that odious, hateful provision? If not, why not? And where does the NRA stand on "outpatient" discrimination?Good points. I'd like to see answers.
Unfortunately, we still have no text. My guess is the response to those questions will be: No, because he doesn't perceive he needs to, and they're not even going to acknowledge that, let alone bring it up on their own.
Hot Pursuit
An Akron homeowner who fatally shot one of two men who allegedly broke into his home has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. [More]This happened right down the road from me.
I don't know if I'd give chase or not. On the one hand, we need to understand the legal environment imposed on us. On the other, the thought of letting these dangerous reptiles go to prey on others could very well be a death sentence for someone more vulnerable, and it's not like the danger could be deemed "over" with absolute certainty.
If I did end up in this situation, aside from clamming up with the police, I'd be working on my lawyer to present the following, or some similar line I'd expect the "Only Ones" and their union reps to use to get a "department protocol" ruling on their shoots:
My client was in fear for his life. He briefly followed the home invaders, to make certain they were leaving and not regrouping for a counterattack or a different point of entry. At that point, his attacker made a motion he perceived as a renewed threat with a weapon.
Waddya think? Got something better, share it. One of us may benefit from it some day.
The Prime Directive
“There are a lot of financial and business reasons why (companies) would want an H-1B worker over an American,” he said. [More]How does that "supreme Law of the Land" go again, about the whole purpose why we have this government in the first place? Oh, yeah:
We the People of the United States, in Order to ... secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The Issue of the Century
If this results in a further wild surge in popularity and electability, we may just see the "single issue" apologists perceive profit from association and finally come on board. [More]
You know, just like they did with fast and Furious, having ignored it at first, but later making it the main topic at their annual meeting group grope dinner, as well as a fundraising hook.
Gee, no surprise so many neocon sites are ignoring this a full day later.

Three for III
Daniel organized the Gravelly Point Park "Restore the Constitution Rally" across the Potomac and in sight of DC, an event I was honored to be included in. Naturally, that got him inducted into an interesting "rogues gallery," highlighted for their thought crimes by our good friends the hive insects at CSGV, again, one I was pleased to be included in.I’m Daniel Almond, and I’ve been literally waving the III% flag since 2009. I’m now running for a State House seat in Georgia, and it’s a 100% grass roots campaign. If you call yourself a Three Percenter, support the cause with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes. Literally less than three minutes of your time... [More]
You can help his campaign here. That is, unless you think there are just too many people like him in politics already, and what we really need to advance RKBA and restore the Constitution are more Establishment-sanctioned "commonsense" bipartisan "moderates"...
