@william_hintze @RileeDHarrison Roses are red
Violets are perfect
I’ll garnish the carrier
For the excess verdict

@AnnaBower The way this works in the states I practice in is that a line is drawn between common sense/life experiences and specialized training. Jurors are not allowed to bring their own expertise to interpret the evidence. They are allowed to bring in their common sense.

Going to start prepping witnesses to give this exact answer.

The depositions from the ex-Sen. Kyrsten Sinema home wrecker case are pretty wild.
Sinema's boyfriend, an ex-Special Forces guy with PTSD, frequently went on tangents about the horrors he saw overseas -- Afghan boy sodomization etc.

@OliverBCushing And if you never try cases, insurers will never pay full value either.

@matthewqueen84 Smells like bad faith.

Belgian FA pulling no punches in a strongly worded statement.

Say they are “astonished” by the decision and now “investigating all potential options” as they look to “safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament”

RBFA STATEMENT
The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed."
The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.
In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”

@OliverBCushing Appreciate the offer. More than one appeal later, the insurance bad faith trials are on the horizon.

@lsanger That’s why I haven’t seen hardly any Orthodox engaging in this Mormon debate. Apostles fast began yesterday.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@SMB_Attorney This is correct advice. I went with a full ride on option 2.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@RWoot5977 @jkimballcook Like don’t get me wrong. If a Mormon wants to know if I consider them Christian, I would tell them no. But beyond that, I’m trying to make sure I’m right with God. Not worried if they are.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@RWoot5977 @jkimballcook Not that it doesn’t matter in that sense. But that the average lay person should be doing their best to work out their own salvation in fear and trembling and stop spending so much time concerning themselves with the holiness of others.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@RWoot5977 @jkimballcook You are correct.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@Frozen_Afraid @MaksVern9383 @david_j1186 Depends on what you mean by “proceed.” If it means what it meant when “proceeds from the father” first became part of the creed (ekporeuomai), then it’s not true. The Catholics and st Augustine would agree. If it only means procededere, the Latin word, then it’s fine.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@MDHensley5 @david_j1186 It’s not catholic like that. It’s the Greek word katholikos or universal.

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@gaptoothdummy The tweet is actually an unintentional self own. Catholic literally means “universal.” In greek “katholikos.” So what he said is that trinity is universal. And it is. To Christians.

@RefObserver17 This means @AyersRefTracker is in DC, no?

[BrokenGavel @GavelBroken]

@RefObserver17 So there are 4 extras or alternates selected for the round of 16/8?
