@KarliBell33 Plenty of folks from Chicago make the trip on Saturday's to South Bend for Notre Dame games. The Hammond stadium will be an hour closer.

If the Bears do leave Illinois, so many STH will leave.
3 hours of travel total to and from Hammond with gas at all time highs, you then have a $8 toll each way on the Skyway and then paid parking and then just going to the game?
They’re about to price out so many longtime fans
English
@KarliBell33 3 hours? It's right off the Skyway. Closer than Arlington Heights.
English
@TradVat2 Yep. What would the actual relief look like? Rebuild a historical building that in fact can't be rebuilt?
Skeptical that ascetic harm grants standing makes through the appeal. The can of worms that opens up would be biblical in scale.
English
I mean, this is obviously right at some level. The whole concept of mootness presupposes these kind of things. Even assuming someone has a legally cognizable interest in X thing not happening, if it happens and can't really be unhappened, then the case is moot, at least if the relief they seek is to stop X from happening. If you are seeking monetary relief at law, well that's another question, because the injury is consummated and can be remedied with damages. But if the relief you seek is an injunction to stop a thing from happening, your case can in fact just be moot if it happens and can't really be undone.

In appeals court fight over the White House ballroom, DOJ says the federal government could quickly bulldoze the statute of liberty and no one would have standing to sue over the changes once the demolition is done.

@bonchieredstate 100%. And if it upheld scrutiny by the courts (doubtful) then the Democrats would use the precedent to impose nationwide mail-in voting. The whole country doing elections like California. No thank you. People need to look ahead beyond the pay for click MAGA bubble.
English
How many times did I list those exact names and tell you we didn't have the votes while everyone else was insisting all Thune had to do was click his heels together three times?
Like a dozen or more?

The U.S. Senate has just rejected a motion to add the SAVE America Act as part of budget reconciliation on a 48-50 vote. Republicans who voted against it: -Thom Tillis -Lisa Murkowski -Mitch McConnell -Susan Collins

@CalFreiburger Who among us hasn't compared the size of a reflecting pool to a skyscraper? I mean they are practically the same thing.
English
Passed four dementia exams, you say?
CSPAN@cspan
President Trump compares the reflecting pool to skyscraper.
English
@neoavatara Comparing a reflecting pool to skyscrapers. No words other than we live in amazing times.
English
I can't believe he made a poster.
Acyn@Acyn
Trump: I just had this done. *holds up chart comparing reflecting pool to buildings*

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

@jaysbookman I suppose that's fine if he doesn't want to get hired somewhere in the future. Dramatic exits tend to scare off future employers of all persuasions. I suppose there is always the podcast route or Elon bucks.
English
Let's not complicate this:
Pelley knew his time was up at "60 Minutes" after much of its top staff was fired and the new bosses began meddling in editorial decisions. So he chose the departure route that would make the biggest public stink.
Good for him.
Tommy Vietor@TVietor08
BRUTAL indictment of @bariweiss by Scott Pelley: "For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified." Then it gets worse...
English
@JayskerPoaching @EWErickson Yes, if you get a paycheck then you are subservient to the person who signs the front of the check. That's how the world works.
English
@Adam_McM @EWErickson Weird how you guys that scream about mainstream media want them to be subservient to their editors and managers.
English
Every single journalist you see today making Scott Pelley a hero or martyr is complicit in the decline of the American press, which is viewed less favorably by Americans than Ebola.
English
@charlescwcooke @philipaklein Just weird how ordinary people understand that acting like a jack a** towards your boss will get you fired, but that truism seems to escape a large % of journalists.
English
Scott Pelley is ridiculous. Journalists aren't special. Film at 11. nationalreview.com/corner/scott-p…
English
@stuartenyt If you trash the boss shouldn't you expect to be cleaning out your desk in a hurry?
English
Fascinating how nick bilton made his firing of Scott Pelley all about Pelley's behavior toward him at the meeting. And, as noted, not a word about Pelley's years of service to CBS or any kind of thank-you. What a way to start a job.
English
@Max_Fisher In what job do you get to trash your boss in a company meeting and not expect to get fired? Do journalists have any idea how the real world works?
English
What a pathetic coward and baby Nick Bilton is. Barely in the job a week and already a disgrace to a profession that’s supposed to champion exactly what Pelley did: put hard questions to power.
Dylan Byers@DylanByers
#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.
English
@AJInvestigates I think trashing your boss in a company meeting gets you fired every time. That's how the world works. Is that a shock to journalists?
English
What a dumpster fire. #60 Minutes spent decades building credibility and it took only months to destroy it.
Dylan Byers@DylanByers
#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.
English
@EWErickson Weird how journalists have this idea that they can publicly trash their boss and not get fired. Try doing that in any other setting and see long it takes for you to be shown the door.
English
Good. The press corps has gotten ever more insular, arrogant, and aligned with a single political party all while refusing to recognize it. The clean up must happen.
Dylan Byers@DylanByers
#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.
English
@metajimmurphy @brianstelter Just bizarre. In what world does a subordinate trash his or her boss and not expect to get fired? Try doing that at the local warehouse or office and see how long you last.
English
@brianstelter I hope the public understands what is happening here. Scott stood up to forces that really do want to kill off any journalism that holds the corrupt and powerful accountable.
English
Scott Pelley's firing is like an underwater earthquake at CBS News – not visible on TV right away, but guaranteed to have many ripple effects
English
@brianstelter If you trash your boss in a meeting you'll get fired. That's how the real world works. Shocker.
English
@bonchieredstate Yep. Shocking to journalists that trashing your boss gets you fired.
English
These statements show how deep the rot is, and how emotionally stunted the journalistic class is.
It does not matter what they think about Scott Pelley. He decided to be an arrogant, insubordinate clown so he was fired.
Welcome to the real world.
Scott Nover@ScottNover
"60 Minutes" staffers past and present are outraged about Scott Pelley's firing.
English
@EWErickson 100%. Yep. Monetization has destroyed the platform. The offshore bots were bad enough, but now when combined with the mindless slop for click posts it's actually gotten much worse.
English
Another example of why Twitter should shut down monetization. This account is taking a viral screed from Facebook and posting it here to drive outrage and make money.
English
Bill Pulte is one of the worst members of the President’s team and has convinced Trump to do more stupid stuff than anyone else in the past year. He’ll be driven to work in a very short bus each day.
