Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

I thought I remember that some of the documents Trump had were nuclear related which are classified as a matter of law. E.g. no president can declassify statutorily classified information without following a process which Trump did not. So even if we allow wide latitude for he can just think things ...

Re: Biden's Classified Documents

The Hur testimony and transcripts really turned this into a nothing burger. Of course Hur was able to sidestep some of it, and the conservative media is still running with their spin, but for the adults in the room it was pretty devastating. Of course Jim Jordan and Comer would never dream of holdin...

Re: Lindsay Stirling?

Who is Lindsay Stirling? There is a famous violin playing dancer Mormon Lindsey Stirling. Clearly this is a troll. If not the good thing is his daughter is already planning to leave Mormonism and I'm guessing she will cut off her toxic parents as well. Nowacatholic and his wife will be wondering why...

Re: RFM and Washington State Bar Complaints

:lol:

At least I guess this will result in yet another entertaining episode smacking down abuse of bar complaints. As drumdude said you might have saved yourself a lot of trouble or at least better prepared your complaint if you took the time to listen.

Re: Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on the Ballot

I can hate it and still accept it was going to be the outcome. I can also see why deciding the other way is problematic.

Relatedly it feels like the Supreme Court would cause the least chaos if they decided the presidential immunity sooner rather than later.

Re: Supreme Court Puts Trump Back on the Ballot

I'm not surprised, but my reading is that 14th section 3 says how congress can override the disqualification with a 2/3rds vote. To me that would say it is self-executing and congress doesn't have to proactively apply it, which my reading of the opinion suggests. I could be wrong but I don't see tha...

Re: Mormon Stories turns to spying…

Charlie trades on being a gay Mormon, he has written two books, one of which was published by Deseret Book on the subject. While I think public figures should be able to have some privacy, I am also less sympathetic to them being upset when people see them in public doing things. I didn't listen to ...

Re: Oaks' Agenda?

I think you are right Dr. Sunstoned. It is clearly a big topic in his head. Makes it all the sadder that his grandson is out. I listened to a podcast interview with him last summer and basically the grandson has no contact with Oaks, and the only efforts Oaks makes is within his calling, e.g. his se...

Re: Kearon not allowed to discuss decision to accept Apostle job with his wife.

It feels gross. It's not like conference was starting in 10 minutes so there was no time. I had a not super close friend whose dad was a GA 70 and about a year before he went emeritus he and his wife were the devotional speakers at BYU-I. I can't quite recall, but she opened her talk about how her h...

Re: Common consent middle finger?

President usually happens after death and with the succession well in order it hardly seems to await the next conference. At least going to Wikipedia and seeing when presidents of the church started the dates are not that close to conference. However usually the calling of apostles awaits the next c...
