Circuit Judge Susan Graber, a Clinton appointee, authored the majority opinion, writing that the church lacked the standing to sue because "Washington's conscientious objection statute exempts employers like Plaintiff from the consequences of the" mandate.

If the law exempts them from the mandate, what grounds do they have to sue?

It’s certainly plausible that Russian agents would run a DOS attack out of Ukraine. It’s also plausible that Ukrainian agents would run a DOS attack out of Ukraine. Or that sone5 third party, either governmental or non-governmental would do so.

IOW, that some news report claims that a report came out of Ukraine tells us exactly nothing.

If I was Russian intel, and I wanted to run a covert DOS attack, I’d run it from servers in Ukraine.

Or, for that matter, if I was Chinese.

Where the attack originated didn’t say anything about who was responsible.

It’s not the responsibility of the recipient to refrain from deleting emails from her inbox, it’s the responsibility of the sysadmins to ensure that emails are copied to archival storage, regardless of what the user might do.

Republican underdog rakes in six-figure fundraising haul as pivotal House special election nears

SpaceX has dozens of Falcon 9 rockets, which have made over 450 successful flights. Last count I’ve seen they’ve had three failures.

SpaceX has two working boosters, that have astounding safety records, Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.

The Falcon rockets had many failures during development, because that’s the way SpaceX develops things - rapid experimentation.

And they have earned the best safety record in the industry since they went into production.

Meanwhile, another Starship has exploded during a test flight. That can be considered a failure only if they didn’t learn from it.

The recovery from the ISS will be using a Falcon.

Why in hell was the US funding the African National Assembly?

I’m happy enough that Walz didn’t get to move into the U.S. Naval Observatory, but that means we’re still stuck with him, here in Minnesota.

Currently the Dems hold the governorship and both houses. A win here flips the House. Allowing the GOP to block Walz’s idiocy.

If you know anybody in Roseville or Shorewood, drag them to the polls.

When a hurricane hits Louisiana it can cause billions in damages and dozens of deaths.

When a hurricane hits Bangladesh it can cause thousands of deaths.

Why the difference? In Louisiana a lot of people own cars and can self evacuate. Buildings, roads, etc., are built to higher standards. Bangladesh, OTOH, is poor.

Even if we accept everything the climate alarmists claim as true, the solution cannot be to reduce ourselves to pre-industrial levels of energy production and transportation.

A wealthy and energy intensive society is far more able to cope with the challenges of climate change than a poor one.

President Donald Trump has long warned about an entrenched “deep state” of malevolent bureaucrats working to thwart his agenda. Many actual employees of the federal government have scoffed at this characterization, proud of the apolitical nature of the civil service and its ability to work across Republican and Democratic administrations.

The problem isn't that there are bureaucrats opposing Trump, but that there are bureaucrats who believe that it is their role to set policy.

The only way to reconnect with the working class voters is to eject the Progressives from the Party.

Is it just me, or wouldn’t it make more sense to get rid of all protected classes? To remove the entire concept of protected classes from our legal system?

future Russian attacks, which Russia has no intention of launching

Until it does.
