@LucasBotkin They’re loaded with microplastics—at least that’s what a consumer reports study found. https://t.co/ByyhMtHxwK

Has Emory explained why it thinks this would even qualify as an abortion under Georgia law? Georgia defines "abortion" as “the act of using, prescribing, or administering any instrument, substance, device, or other means with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy…” OCGA 16-12-141(a)(1). I’d understand if they made this decision for ethical reasons, but I’m curious why they think the law compels it.

They didn’t categorize them. They just said they aren’t “arms” within the meaning of the Second Amendment.

They misstated the law and facts several times to get to this outcome. For example, they pulled a Noah Feldman and butchered U.S. v. Miller. Miller is a short, simple decision that’s unscrupulous anti-gun activists routinely misconstrue.

In Miller the Supreme Court held that a district court could not invalidate a firearm regulation as unconstitutional under the 2A unless evidence in the record showed that the firearm is “part of ordinary military equipment” or could “contribute to the common defense.” Stated differently, if Miller stands for anything, it stands for the proposition that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear ordinary military weaponry.

The Supreme Court in Miller did not “determine[] that the Second Amendment does not guarantee a right to possess an unregistered, short-barrel shotgun.” Go read it for yourself. I don’t know how any person, much less lawyer, could read Miller and think that’s what it said. Yet here we are.

@HanyaToderoff I didn’t miss any point. I addressed the claim I know is wrong in case I’m not your only curious follower. Given how very wrong that claim is, I’m unlikely to dig into the claims about Canada. And I’m American so I’m obligated to pretend not to care about Canadian politics 😃

The real scandal of the Delta 757 that lost a wheel in Atlanta is the “people mover.”

We got off the plane and into this bus-like machine. It lowered about two feet, and then we still had to walk down stairs.

Why not just use stairs? This is what we should be debating.

On our honeymoon!
Taking off for Bogota!
Nope, we lost a wheel.

✅ Georgia bar exam

Today I found out that I passed the bar. I’m thankful for my wife’s patience with me this summer while I studied. This marks the end of one long journey that began when I started studying for the LSAT in 2016 and the beginning of another.
