Dad. Storyteller. Software guy. Gen-Xer who does have time for any of this shit because there's work to do. Also: every right-wing accusation is a confession.
To expand:
1/the law is to protect their allies but not bind them; it is to bind their enemies but not protect them
2/every conservative accusation is a confession, either in the past or future
3/bottom line: the felt experience of power, rooted in bad faith
Thing is, Ben has been up to enough bad behavior that BAM can make his life miserable for years and have a reasonable chance of prevailing in court.
By offering Mansell compensation they put him to the test and undermine Ben's "moral outrage". Eventually the story slips out of the public view, as all things do.
@Zombiesmash98@DHuskytron Thanks for clarifying that. My understanding was that some smaller libraries in Idaho found that impractical so simply restricted the entire library.
@DHuskytron To be clear, though, I support malicious overcompliance with right-wing laws to gin up outrage against those legislators. It's a legitimate and often successful tactic.
@DHuskytron This law is bullshit, but this is also malicious compliance by the library. Instead of establishing an "adults only" section, they are simply banning children from the library.
This was the jury instruction:
You will need to determine whether Musk’s claims were filed within the time set by law.
This defense is based on each statute of limitations. To succeed on this defense for any claim,
defendants must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the claimed harm occurred before
the following dates:
1. August 5, 2021 for breach of charitable trust;
2. August 5, 2022 for restitution based on unjust enrichment; and
3. November 14, 2021 for aiding and abetting breach of charitable trust.
If the defendants prove that Musk’s claimed harm occurred before the applicable date, the
claim was still filed on time if Musk proves by a preponderance of the evidence that before each
relevant date, he did not discover, and did not know of facts that would have caused a reasonable
person to suspect, that he had suffered the claimed harm and could not have discovered those facts
with reasonable diligence.
@ASFleischman May his zealous advocacy inspire the prosecution to have its shit together and render a guilty verdict and sentence that survives appeal.
It's some Kafkaesque shit. It was conservatives who agitated to keep the full story out of the history books. People like Zinn and Loewen fought to get the full context in.
This is so weird. Leftist educators like Zinn and Loewen complained for years that Rosa Parks was being sanitized and joined others in pressuring that this history was fully explicated.
And now you're like "it was a conspiracy by the Left".
Conservatives wanted the history of Parks being an agitator suppressed. Because they didn't want people to think being organized was necessary or effective.
