Except for the 1st, 4th and 10th amendments and the Commerce Clause.

Certainly Gideon and arguably Hegar could have done a lot more with it.

The KY Dem bench has really thinned out in the current generation. The Luallens and Lunsfords and Chandlers have all aged out.

But she set fire to a ton of money just to prove that Kentuckians really don’t like her. Gotta be a spare Beshear or Booker somewhere.

Sigh yep. Stuff just stops working. The idea that life after 50 is full of hikes and swing dancing is pure AARPaganda.

Thing is, I only care about the Seahawks (out of market area) and I only have time to watch maybe a third of the games. So none of this makes any financial sense. Casual sports viewing is a thing of the past?

Well that’s just utterly depressing. $400 to watch out-of-market games??? I mean… I guess nobody gets to watch football anymore?

I used to listen in the radio but now even that is regionally blocked! Something is very wrong.

The concept of live broadcast tv disappeared from my life about 15 years ago. I guess some people used to have cable but I never did.

I’ve been pointed at Paramount+, Hulu, and even started a trial on some damn thing called β€œFubu”. None of them have the game.

Wtaf??

How in the hell do people watch football games now??

Asking for real. Explain it fo me like I’ve been asleep since 2005. There’s no… channels anymore, so how do you turn on the game?

Please don’t tell me it involves an app. I just want to watch the Seahawks game.

This is how I felt in 1995! But that Yankees series was so worth it. Those M’s were somethin else.

Not enough to attack Amendment 1, gotta do away with Article 1 as well.

That second paragraph could be read in at least two ways and I'm sure that's intentional.

Study: 72% of Illinois wetlands no longer protected by federal Clean Water Act – News Bureau

A new study finds over 70% of Illinois wetlands lost protection after the Supreme Court’s rollback of the Clean Water Act.

Floodplain forestsβ€”vital for flood control, water quality, and climate resilienceβ€”are most at risk.

Illinois needs to pass a state law protecting wetlands.
