@iJordanMoore For enough money, I could reach base. First time anything gets close to the inside corner, I'm wearing that pitch.

It’s so funny when people ask a normal everyday person — “if you had 100 at bats in the majors, how many hits would you get?” The answer is zero.

@rrbrussell @mrebrandon @Mr_FrazierKY @KYHouseGOP If a statute even hinted at making the impeachment power less than inviolate, it would be unconstitutional.

@crev99 @mrebrandon @Mr_FrazierKY @KYHouseGOP If the violated rules were internal procedures not passed statute I would agree with you.

The Kentucky Supreme Court just created a constitutional crisis. The Court’s suggestion that “sole” does not actually mean sole should alarm every Kentuckian who cares about separation of powers. Section 66 of the Kentucky Constitution gives the @KYHouseGOP the sole power of impeachment, Section 67 gives the @KYSenateGOP power to try all impeachments, and Section 109 provides that the impeachment powers of the General Assembly “shall remain inviolate.” “Sole” means exclusive. “Inviolate” means unassailable. If the judiciary can step in before the Senate even completes its constitutional role, then the impeachment power is no longer sole in any meaningful sense. That is a dangerous precedent. Today it is impeachment. Tomorrow it could be any core legislative function the courts simply decide to supervise. Once one branch can redefine plain constitutional text to insert itself into another branch’s exclusive authority, legislative sovereignty is no longer secure. Kentucky’s Constitution is explicit in Sections 27 and 28 that no branch may exercise powers properly belonging to another. Even Rose v. Council for Better Education reaffirmed that separation of powers must remain a structural safeguard, not a convenience. The moment courts claim concurrent veto power over impeachment, the Constitution’s structural safeguards begin to erode. This is not about one judge. It is about whether the @KYHouseGOP and @KYSenateGOP remains a co-equal branch, or whether its constitutionally assigned powers now exist only at the pleasure of judicial review. If “sole” no longer means sole, no branch’s exclusive powers are truly safe. After the opinion, is there an alternative than the #KYGA taking action against the Kentucky Supreme Court?

@CynicalPublius Don't give them ideas.

Taxing unrealized capital gains is like taxing people on salary they might earn in the future. "Oh, you are a gastroenterologist? Our projections suggest you will earn $10,000,000 over the next ten years, so for 2026 we will levy an income tax against you of $1,000,000. What's that you say? You just finished your internship and have nothing but student loan bills? Tough. Pay up or go to jail." I know that sounds nuts but it really is basically the same thing.

@LADodgersMuse Dude fricken hates Canadians.

@SmartTake91045 @CMPiagentini SCOTUS doesn't generally take up state claims like this. Though I wish they'd say it deprives a state of a guaranteed republican form of government for a Supreme court to usurp a legislative function.

@CMPiagentini This may need to go to the US Supreme Court. The word ‘inviolate’ matters.

The KY Supreme Court has just decided they are above any check or balance and above the Constitution. Impeachment is an entirely Legislative function. They should continue.

@mrebrandon @Mr_FrazierKY @KYHouseGOP Except the legislature's power is inviolate. Which means they decide if they violated it.

@Mr_FrazierKY @KYHouseGOP Perhaps this plays a huge factor in the KYSC decision?

@heraldleader Just for once, can a legislature grow a pair and fight back against an interloping state supreme court? Ignore them and impeach anyway.

@Arrogance_0024 Your terms are acceptable.

"Sorry we needed to rescue 1 guy."

@nut_history @DarrellBrockJr It didn’t land.

@DarrellBrockJr Where a HR ball usually lands

Alright, I’ll open the can of worms. If you land on the other side of the wall with the ball in your glove, it should be a homer.

@Memo_B_Random @notgaetti Sure. But there'd also be a lot more hits if he had to paint the actual corners.

@notgaetti Ain’t Tuesday yet, Chief. 😉 Maddux would have painted the corners as they were called. Worth noting that Maddux *earned* the benefit of the doubt by being accurate at all times. He didn’t just take the mound Day 1 with an edge.

Thought experiment: Retroactively applying ABS to Greg Maddux’s career gives him like a 4.95 ERA and basically makes him Steve Trachsel Maddux received the benefit of a gigantic zone thanks to his impeccable command, reputation, and stature as a bona fide ace pitcher

@BarstoolNate Yes, let's make baseball less awesome for no reason.

My hottest sports take is if you don't get 2 feet down on the field with the ball in your glove then it should be a HR. Ppl are gonna yell at me but this is no different than a WR jumping while in bounds and catching the ball out of bounds.

@dodgers_burner Maybe if they can point to a complaint before that season began... But they can't, because they're all liars.

@sstteebboorr @SteveLovesAmmo Norm came out as a fully closeted gay man, so I think he knows what he's talking about.

@SteveLovesAmmo This is somewhat amusing. but especially during the time he was recording this, being courageous enough to come out as gay took more courage than Norm ever had.

Norm MacDonald never missed.

@KrakauLaw @JonathanTurley Yeah. I only ever hear the "don't ask a question..." thing from tv lawyers, and law professors.

@crev99 @JonathanTurley Exactly. Sometimes the answer doesn't matter.

Law students are taught not to ask a question of a witness unless they know the answer. Future classes may feature Democrat Rep. Shomari Figures as a case in point. In making his case against voter ID, Figures asked how many people in the audience did not have IDs. Crickets...

@MWpatriot01 @BuschMVP Jusy because Christian Yellich went from .282 to .326, winning an MVP, when his road numbers stayed the same... Yeah, pretty damning.

@BuschMVP They have to be. Literally every player that gets traded away from the Brewers gets worse as soon as they leave and every player that gets traded to the Brewers gets better as soon as they get there. Andrew Vaughan, for example.

There’s litterally no explanation for this besides they’re cheating lmfao

@mikevolpe @damintoell Not what that case holds. And case precedent doesn't codify anything.

@damintoell After this statement, we've had Wong Kim Ark, which codified that children of immigrants born in the US are citizens.

To believe that the children of diplomats is a separate category distinct from the preceding usage of foreigners/aliens is to believe that anyone would say the following: “I love all desserts except for ice cream and chocolate ice cream.” There would be no need to specify chocolate ice cream after already saying ice cream. Howard was giving a single category: the children of diplomats.

@NiftuA @ScottGreenfield Do you have an answer to the question?

@crev99 @ScottGreenfield ^ A pretty good demonstration of how conservatives don't even understand what birthright citizenship is. They just know they're told to be mad about

You're never going to believe why the US can arrest, prosecute, convict and imprison aliens, and even deport them. It's because they are "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Who knew?

@SomeOfJess @Jane4UsGirls @JonathanTurley The premise of asking if there is a unifying reason for the agreed upon exceptions. I don't think you know what a premise is.

@crev99 @Jane4UsGirls @JonathanTurley lol, because the premise is absurd.

Early on, John Sauer faced a gulp moment when the Chief Justice referred to his examples of different classes to show the narrower meaning are "quirky." Sauer is doing, as usual, an excellent job...

@SomeOfJess @Jane4UsGirls @JonathanTurley Yeah, the ACLU didn't have an answer either.

@crev99 @Jane4UsGirls @JonathanTurley MAGA constantly demanding other people respond to their absurd logic never gets old.
