That's pretty ... wow.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That's pretty ... wow.
Yeah, well... that sucks.
The Supreme Court is more conservative than it's been in, what, 50 years?
Or maybe it'd be more accurate to say the Supreme Court is very pro-corporate?

That's pretty ... wow.
Aims, it looks like the determination was made on a fairly narrow finding that the procedural requirements were not met. That part of the decision was unanimous. So we can't really blame just Scalia and Alito on that--even Sotomayor and Ginsburg concurred on that element (if not on the other parts of the decision).
I can see why the Supremes would be leery about granting certification to such an enormous and ill-defined class of plaintiffs, even if all their claims were later found to be justified (and I'm sure most of them were).

Because books.
Consuela, in my experience with preschools, if a child is a behavior problem to the extent of hurting other kids, the parents are contacted and generally it's explained that if the child can't understand the rules or control herself with certain expectations, *that* child would be removed.
And in most public schools now, there's simply a no-tolerance policy when it comes to hitting or hurting other kids.
So yeah, really strange that his daughter is coming home injured and they're not doing anything about it.

Welcome back, zuisa. Is it good to be land-based again?
Or maybe it'd be more accurate to say the Supreme Court is very pro-corporate?
I truly do understand the 'vast' and 'ill-defined' arguments, but sending the entire case back to square one (more time, more money, breaking the spirits of the participants, etc) seems a huge blow in favor of the 'WeSaySo Corporation.'

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dylan was "assessed" for pre-k today. I'm pretty sure we passed...his block tower was 12 blocks high and he correctly identified all the trucks and cars in the truck & car puzzle. And the teacher said she liked his picture. This means my kid's not stupid and we can go to school, right?
