The law is illegal federally, but unfortunately, the necessity of standing means it can't be challenged until someone's on the hook.

The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”.

In a situation like this, the only correct answers are "lawyer" and silence.

If it passes there, it could bring Colorado in line with 10 other states — including California, New York and Illinois — that have prohibitions on semiautomatic guns. 

Zero states ban semiautomatic firearms.

It's insane to me that he couldn't appeal on the basis of not having been provided an attorney with an incentive to work on his case.

No, it's worse. If you go sunbathing on the beach and fall asleep, you're a criminal.

The police opened fire after the mother did. It is notoriously difficult to negotiate with someone who is actively shooting - aside from needing absolutely every target to be in excellent cover, you have to make yourself heard over the gunfire.

Indefinite detention is always bad, in every circumstance, because there is definitionally no due process happening. This seems to be a practice Israel genuinely engages in. A horrific abuse of power that is never ok.

It gets even better if you read the letter itself, linked in the article.

My attached prior letter provided you with four noble suggested uses of your authority as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee: (1) enhancing funding for victim-witness advocates; (2) expanding funding for testing all rape kits; (3) supporting the Credible Messengers program, which helps to turn around children in trouble with the criminal justice system; and (4) ensuring adequate funding to support state crime labs, which test for drugs like Fentanyl. I would encourage you to focus your attention on those issues, which would make life better for the American people.

The study found the opposite. The really bad guys were the ones with many partners.

Yes, in the linked article.

In a statement announcing that he would not sign the bill, the Democratic governor said additional regulation of autonomous trucks was unnecessary because existing laws are sufficient.

Newsom pointed to 2012 legislation that allows the state Department of Motor Vehicles to work with the California Highway Patrol, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration “and others with relevant expertise to determine the regulations necessary for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles on public roads.”
