Ed…..is that you?

Marco Rubio’s parent weren’t citizens when he was born…

If it exists, and is applicable to Women's Basketball, shouldn't it be listed in the entry for Women's Basketball, like the other sport specific media distributions are? Seems like it would be an easy way to not show us losing $8MM a year on it.


Because during the negotiations of that media rights deal, they came up with a “valuation” of what WBB was worth. It’s still part of the larger agreement though. It’s not its own separate deal so it isn’t going to be a line item for WBB.

The WBB valuation was roughly 56% of the total deal by itself.

Cool. But there are no media rights distributions listed for any sports that aren't Football and Men's basketball.


Jesus Christ…..

I guess that money just doesn’t exist then. Oh well.
quote:

I'm looking at the fricking financials you retard. Everything is broken down by sport. It's how I know Baseball beats Women's Basketball at every turn.


The overwhelming majority of the media rights deal for all other sports was driven by women’s basketball. You won’t see that on a financial report next to their sport. That’s what he’s trying to tell you.

United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). In that case, the Court held that a man born in San Francisco to Chinese parents who were subjects of China but lawfully domiciled in the U.S. was a citizen from birth under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Constitution does NOT explicitly state that Illegal aliens pumping out kids while illegally being in the U.S. automatically makes those children U.S. citizens. That's some major bullshite.


The “legality” of the parents isn’t relevant. You’re suggesting that if someone on a green card misses their court date (and are no longer here legally) then gives birth, their kid is not a citizen. If they made their court date, their kid would be a citizen.

See how dumb that is? Statutory immigration laws do not supersede the Constitution. It provides the baseline which Congress can expand, not limit.

You kinda self-owned here as well…you realize that, don’t you?

Both sides are generally hypocritical.

quote:

The 14th Amendment cannot set the precedent (but will likely be used to do just that) in this case because we are talking about the children of non-citizens.


So was WKA. It was undisputed that his parents were always Chinese citizens.
I forgot which Justice addressed that, but one asked if we are supposed to go down that path of dissecting and analyzing domicile/intent on every birthright citizenship case going forward. It’s a ridiculous scenario, practically speaking.
quote:

How can someone who is immediately removable be considered "domiciled"?


Intent to remain.
Did the solicitor general just admit that under his current argument/logic, tribal Indians are subject to birthright citizenship (after first saying they weren’t).
quote:

Not liking the fact that Roberts doesn't see the comparison between people here temporarily for legitimate reasons and illegal immigrants as a valid one. Doesn't mean he won't go the way I'd like him to on the issue as a whole, given much of the discussion is in regards to the way the text is interpreted and the original intent, but still not a great sign.


Sounds like Robert’s is going against this.
I’m sure they will, in time. Like I said, they still haven’t resolved everything with BR yet.

If the school district passes and the city later expands, that school district would expand also so you’d be included.
quote:

remaining unincorporated area continues to be left out. We were told there would be opportunities to annex into St. George. Nothing has happened. We are also not included in the new school district. We are the red headed step child that nobody wants. But they are asking us to vote? I’m really undecided now.


Where do you live? There isn’t a ton of unincorporated areas in the southern part of the parish left now. Most are in the north around Central, Baker, and Zachary. All that’s in the south is Gardere and around O’Neal.

St. George is still trying to come to an agreement with BR on the incorporation date and back taxes. They aren’t going to start annexing areas right now until everything is settled.
quote:

Why the hell would someone in Monroe, Lake Charles or Slidell have a say so on a single parish school district vote? This makes no sense.


Our state constitution establishes school districts follow boundaries of the parish. To carve a new one out requires the constitution to be amended which requires the entire state to vote on it.

St. George has a little over 20% of the registered voters in EBR and Central is nearly 10%. Need huge turnouts in those two areas.
quote:

I think it just has to pass with a simple majority statewide just like any other amendment.


No, it also has to pass with a simple majority in East Baton Rouge Parish. As long as Central and Zachary turn out in good numbers, it should pass. The overwhelming majority of St. George is going to vote yes.
quote:

I think it’s the latter because her rulings are all about how she FEELS about the law, how she FEELS about the case, not what the law states or how it’s applied to the case.


Agreed. She’s definitely qualified and has a great resume. You can be intelligent and still choose to act on feelings rather than logic/law.
quote:

Is the woman who is literally famous for being attractive seriously trying to play victim because people notice her appearance?


Yes, and that’s the point I was trying to make. It’s not about her playing supergirl. It’s her being in anything notable which will garner a lot of attention.
It shouldn’t. Sounds more like a problem with fame more than anything else.
