7th Cir. holds no 1st Amendt violation for a sentencing judge to take into consideration defendant's white supremacist ideas and hatred for the U.S. even though these were unrelated to his crime.

Holds these ideas were evidence of future dangerousness.

Although, the opinion doesn't claim to rely on it, the court nods toward the "magic incantations" standard of constitutional review.
It seems to me incanting "I'm totally not doing what it looks like I'm doing" wouldn't work for anyone else. Don't think it should work for district courts either.

Neighbor brought me all these veggies from their garden! (Plus two eggplants that I already put on the grill. Talk shit perfect timing.)
Hmm, that should have been "talk *about* perfect timing," but my phone had other ideas.
Also, there was a giant honkin' zucchini at the bottom of the bag that is the platonic ideal of a zucchini. Guess that one's going on the grill tomorrow.

9th Cir. revives lawsuit from Montana prisoners with serious mental illness who say they are being denied treatment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Court orders that the case be reassigned to a different judge on remand. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin…
" In these circumstances, the state, which incarcerated them and limited their ability to seek care for themselves, stands in a unique relation that requires it to provide necessary medical care and protect against serious medical risks."
The case is being reassigned to a different judge on remand because the previous judge misunderstood which case this was (confusing it for a case by the same plaintiffs raising different claims against a different defendant), but then refused to correct the error.

Oh boy, fireworks in opinions out of the en banc 4th Cir. today. Will post when it hits the court's website, but a preview: principle dissent suggests the majority are chumps, says that the maj. op. should be void for vagueness, and that they don't care about abused women.
This draws a rebuke from three judges concurring: "I express hope that we will turn away from the use of inflammatory language, which diminishes the value of our work."

To which the dissenter specially replies: civility may censor dissenting voices.
If you've been following along, you can probably guess who wrote the, er, animated dissent.

White women & Black women bought into gender politics. Hillary was supposed to win for her sex, not her politics or ability. Clearly she had no ability, no charisma, & no empathy for other women other than #Democrats Her big reveal happened when she called

In initial interview before reaching ambulance, @MsNazContractor, playing the Muslim councilwoman whom Detective Carisi (@PeterScanavino) has already informed us is famous for anti-Semitic remarks, tells him & Detective Rollins (@KelliGiddish) that "those people" are responsible
for her assault. Thus, she confirms her antisemitism. The councilwoman is an barely concealed stand-in for Ilhan Omar, a representative to the US House of Representatives from Minnesota's 5th District. ilhanomar.com @nbcsvu @SVUWritersRoom
Min 0458: A reporter asks Chief Dodds (@petergallagher): "Councilwoman Nasar is an on-the-record anti-Semite. Can you comment?" Chief Dodds doesn't contradict the reporter's assertion, thus implicitly confirming it.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss

Having trouble understanding what SJWs say?

1. You're not alone.
2. It may be simply a case of misunderstanding. They speak their own language, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity.

This dictionary helps you translate SJW talk into English and achieve word peace.

A wonderful, equal, just and fair political system. Every good person wants to live in it. (The only exception are the people who actually live under socialism. They usually try to escape from it, the ungrateful bastards!)

equality

1. preferential treatment
2. quotas to ensure preferential treatment
3. suppressing others to ensure preferential treatment

Meet Arthur Jones. He denies the Holocaust, calling it an "extortion racket." He says that he stands “shoulder to shoulder, philosophically,” with President Trump.

nytimes.com/2018/02/07/us/…
Arthur is running unopposed for the @GOP nomination for Congress in Illinois's 3rd District.

He's predicted to lose against incumbent @RepLipinski, but let's not rest on our laurels. We know what happens when someone is predicted to lose then we don't go out and vote to be sure.
