It’s obviously an overly legalistic and technical argument that doesn’t speak to the merits. But it’s an appeals case, you have to argue legal errors not factual ones. I’m not a lawyer and have no idea how likely it is to succeed, but I think “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” is best legal practice, so I don’t see how this filing hangs him out to dry. It’s bad optics but I don’t think is gonna matter to anyone.
Did you not read the article?
and that Trump technically did not swear an oath to “support” the Constitution. Instead, during his January 2017 inauguration, Trump swore to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution during his role as president.
You’re talking about the reasoning in the ruling by the district judge. This article is about trump’s argument in filings to the appeals court.
Even if dems win a majority in the house, they may not have a majority of state delegations. the house vote is by state delegation.
The point wasn’t that ranged attacks or siege or cavalry weapons are more important than melee weapons, though depending on the battle or the century, that may well be true.
The point was that when it comes to melee, the weapons used by your infantry was never swords. Swords are prestige weapons, expensive and heavy, wielded by wealthy knights and nobility for ceremonial purposes, duels, or tournaments. The king cannot afford to equip a thousand infantry with swords (the way you see in movies like Braveheart or LotR), and even if he could, the infantrymen have neither the skill nor strength to wield them for an extended duration.
Swords weren’t the weapon of last resort. They just weren’t included in the loadout at all, of the soldiers engaging in melee combat. So what did they use? Spears. That’s probably why the OP says spears are king.
But take it with a grain of salt cause I don’t actually know anything about medieval warfare. It’s just a thing I heard.
Modern conceptions of medieval warfare drastically overestimate the amount of usage that swords saw in battle. At least that’s a thing I’ve heard.
Or the other way round. Xbox studios spins off BGS, which is then acquired by Sony as an independent studio. Literally the exact thing that happened to Bungie.
I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?
You mean Xbox mauve series XVX. Bethesda is a Microsoft property now. They’re an Xbox exclusive shop. Probably no more releases for PlayStation.
i think the creator of celeste also took their own character’s name maddy as new name after transitioning.
And Georgia is part of the US. But Fani Willis doesn’t answer to US AG Garland or president Biden any more than she does to GA AG Carr or Kemp. She works for Fulton County. She doesn’t run state legal affairs. She is a prosecutor for the county.
Kemp is the governor of Georgia, not Fulton county. Fani Willis is not in his AG’s department.
Still good that he is not supporting the impeachment effort. But expected given that he ran on this.
Colton Moore is not a statewide officeholder. He is a state senator. The statewide officeholders, including the AG and the SoS have supported Kemp and the position that Trumps interference was illegal. Heck it was SoS Raffensperger who recorded the call.
Zuckerberg owns %14 percent of the 2.5 billion shares of the trillion dollar company.
Yes, he could retire and live off a slice of the profit for the rest of his life. But that’s nothing. Anyone with a few tens of thousands of shares of a healthy company can do that. That massively understates the scope of his holdings.
Facebook could never turn a profit again. Revenue could fall off a cliff. And Zuck could borrow against the value of his assets to get paid handsomely for the rest of his life.
Heck he could shut down Meta and liquidate the company for pennies on the dollar and still have more money than most people see in 100 lifetimes.
My own experience with advanced degrees is that they can give you a sense of humility. You gain some expert knowledge in one field, yes, but you also get a glimpse of a larger world of knowledge that you did not specialize in. You learn just how much you don’t know.
It seems you had a very different experience with your degree. It gave you the confidence to pull rank to win internet arguments with strangers. If that is the case, then well done.
Of course you don’t need a masters in literature to know the meaning of the word “compel”. Any speaker of the English language knows this. Anyone who’s seen The Exorcist knows this. You pulling out your credentials proves nothing. It’s a non sequitur.
And of course even if the word meant what you claim it meant, it would be irrelevant. You, my friend, are a non sequitur wrapped inside a non sequitur.
Congrats on yer schooling. Woulda never guessed.
Might want to brush up on standard English
he was also all geared up to run in 2016, but then his son died. If I recall, Hilary Clinton actually waited for Biden to decide he couldn’t run before she entered the race.
