it's true that MQD is malleable enough that it can mean whatever they want it to at this point, but i don't think that paragraph is actually articulating an MQD argument.

it's just a statutory construction argument based on expressio unius.

this happened to me when i was a baby lawyer, like 8 mths out of law school, & a partner left it to me to file something (much less important than this) while he was abroad

i figured out how to get it done in time bc i'm competent & wanted to do my job well - two things this AUSA is apparently not

the first two are basically 0% if people are being intellectually honest.

i think a decent % of scholars believe Heller is basically the OPM of 2A, mostly based on an caricature of rugged individualism in the founding era.

i asked if i could just give her a donation for the troop instead bc i don’t need cookies, and she said her daughter won’t get rewards credit for donations, only cookie sales.

A passage from Federalist Paper No. 74: "The reflection that the fate of a fellow-creature depended on his sole fiat, would naturally inspire scrupulousness and caution; the dread of being accused of weakness or connivance."

re-reading the federalist papers for a project and it's striking how many of our current problems can be traced back to the fact that the guys who designed our government just could not fathom a sociopathic president.

yeah I was about to say. the CEI data is based on basic searches using tags in the Federal Register, which is a flawed way to quantify actual rulemaking activity. (Lots of things are tagged as both a notice and rule, some IFRs/DFRs are tagged as proposed rules, etc.)

no way, this rules. if you've never been to the Vegas Sphere, you have no idea what you're missing. it's genuinely incredible.

and National Harbor is already a synthetic commercial district, this won't ruin anyone's neighborhood character or whatever. i hope people actually let this happen.
