  1. I hate to break this to you, but he doesn't have a cousin on Penn State either. Anyway, Melvin Miller hasn't committed anywhere...yet.
  2. Be skeptical, I suppose. Bo said when he was committing that it was a decision based on where his brothers (Keegan and Melvin) would be comfortable as well. Not a guarantee, obviously.
  3. LOL WTF are you talking about?
  4. Yeah, but what did those guys know?
  5. Due process means different things within the context of the type of interaction you're having with the legal system. Most generally, you can understand it to mean that a person is entitled for a judge or magistrate to hold hearings and make findings after hearing arguments presented from both sides of an issue. So it's not really a "more or less due process" situation. For example, my clients charged with a new crime are entitled to a trial; however, my clients who are charged with violating their probation are entitled to a contested hearing (no jury, lower standard of proof). Both are due process.
  6. On an individual scale of al-Aluaki vs. Abrego Garcia? The dead guy, but he's dead and I can't do much about that. Plus, unfortunately all presidents are ordering people in other countries killed all the time without trials, and I'm against them all. That includes Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again. In terms of the scale of the problem, this one is affecting WAY more people, so it's a much bigger overall problem in terms of number of people/lives affected. It's discussed in dozens and dozens of cases, as well as the text of the Constitution itself which reads that "no person [note that it doesn't say citizen] will be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." As to just a couple of cases, there was Yick Wo v. Hopkins, Wong Wing v. United States, and Reno v. Flores just to name three.
  7. Separate issue, but I am against all drone assassinations (not just the guy you're referencing) and, yes, he was denied his due process rights thru this extrajudicial execution.
  8. Nope. Everybody is entitled to the same due process under the Constitution if they're charged with a crime.
  9. Just pure insanity from the beginning, at least seems to be finally ending.
  10. Breaks don't protect from testing.
  11. The conditions don't change just because you say so. You can tell by the way the effing Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against what happened.
  12. He did not have due process. You don't know what the orders mean. That's ok that whatever conservative opinion maker you are listening to is claiming things, but you're wrong. For a Withholding of Removal to to be revoked, it requires a hearing. A judge has to do it, not just a new president coming into office.
  13. You're just spouting off now about things you clearly don't understand and just saying things should be the way you want them to be, not how they are.
  14. It's so weird how often you guys insist on being obstinately wrong about everything. Let me explain it to you like you're 4 years old. Biden administration on student loan forgiveness: We want to forgive student loans under Law X. SCOTUS: No, you can't do that under Law X. Biden admin: Hmmm, ok. But we really want to do this thing. We're going to try it under this other Law Y. And so on and so forth until either they give up or they succeed. ^^^This is acceptable and operating under our laws and system of governance under three co-equal branches of government. Trump administration on deporting people without due process: We want to remove these people from the country to another country and pay to house them in prisons there without giving them hearings under Law A. SCOTUS: No, you can't do that under Law A. Trump administration: F - u - c - k you, we're doing it. ^^^This is unacceptable and operating as if Trump and his administration have no co-equal branches of anything.
  15. He 100% did. that's the hilarious part. When the student loan forgiveness instituted by Biden was struck down by SCOTUS in Biden v. Nebraska (https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/supreme-court-strikes-down-biden-student-loan-forgiveness-program/) Biden tried again using a different legal mechanism. That's how the system is supposed to work. Thank you again.
  16. Yes, thank you for illustrating my point.
  17. He's a high level athlete with a steep growth trajectory if what I'm reading about him starting wrestling as a HS sophomore are true. That doesn't mean he's going to be a good or great D1 wrestler, but there's nice upside here for the Hawkeyes, and a perfect bridge to Ludington once Elam went to ISU.
  18. The Biden administration did things, when the courts told them they couldn't, they either gave it up or tried the same thing from a different mechanism. You know, "the law."
  19. I mean...he didn't say "I will be continuing my career exactly where I have been the last 6 years" but the implication was pretty clear. "I have a great training situation here in Columbia", he talked about meeting w/ Coach Smith, and then ended his interview with a Mizzou chant. Usually an announcement is required for a change in location/training, not a maintaining.
  20. You're just babbling now. As to when an executive doesn't execute the laws, the other two branches of government are supposed to hold the executive branch accountable. That's how the system is supposed to work. Like the judicial branch is trying to do here, while Trump just blatantly ignores them and some of you cheer them on like it's some kind of victory.
  21. Nothing. He just talked about his injury (torn ACL), when it happened (sometime before collegiate duals, but was exacerbated at collegiate duals, what the rest of the season was like and how limited he was (tough and very), and talked about future plans to compete after he's fully recovered. It will be in Missouri, at least according to the interview. There was nothing "announced".
