And if not, on the other side of the fence, do we really want, say, South Dakota to know about this rule (in terms of future use)?

I have to agree with Frank here. Not that I don't think the sitting President deserves impeachment, but state legislatures tend to pass a lot of wild-eyed bills and resolutions of a type that the gravity and tradition of the national legislature guards against to some degree. I don't want future presidents of either party getting impeached over traffic tickets because a state representative in Mississippi or Delaware wants to pursue a grudge and make a name for himself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

only a reprimand is appropriate as punishment for a city worker accused of failing to heed warnings to stay off the Internet

Huh. I'm surprised at this, as well as the fact that excessive phone conversations can only result in a reprimand.

Though what does "suggested" mean when a judge does it?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know this subject at all, but I'm guessing that Constitution pretty much pre-empts any House rules on the subject of impeachment.

I've never taken a nap I didn't need.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You can't always get the naps you want. But if you try sometime, you just might find you get the nap you need.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't know this subject at all, but I'm guessing that Constitution pretty much pre-empts any House rules on the subject of impeachment.

I don't actually expect anything to come of the resolutions, but I still like the fact that states are going to the symbolic effort.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Okay, who wants to be my personal references?

Emily has many interesting philosophies of teaching, although by now she is sick unto death of talking about them so please take my word for it and don't pester her. She has also actually taught actual students, and pretty much kicked pedagogical ass whilst doing so. Many functions of higher mathematics bow down and worship Emily. Emily talks about numbers and the ways to play with them as if they were friends and lovers and beloved intimate games, and certain complicated and possibly theoretical equations have been known to stammer and blush when her name is mentioned. Also, Emily is a steadfast friend and great roommate and has given her cat a really cool name. Just don't ask her about her philosophies of teaching, and don't say I didn't warn you.

Please contact me if you have any questions or need further information.

Sincerely,

One of Emily's Legion of Invisible Buffy Friends
