      - I love how they got 6 supporting noms and no lead noms. - spamlet Jul 19, 06:04 2
        
        They do the Friends playbook -- there is no lead for award consideration. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 06:07

    - Veep was slow to start, but by the end, I really enjoyed it. -- nm - MDH Jul 19, 06:37
    - Until last night, I'd never heard of Girls. For an HBO show, that's uncommon. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 05:59
    - It's HBO. I think they get nominations by default now. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 05:58
  - The fact that Larry David can continue to get nominations just shows me that apparently, I don't know what's funny anymore. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 05:57 4
    - I ain't a fan of his but I'd seen talk he had some fantastic episodes last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 06:02 1
      - I guess...but the next time I laugh at Larry David will be the first. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 06:06
    - I have tried, but Larry David just repels me. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 19, 06:02

Tough story: Missouri court upholds the private adoption of Guatemalan child after the mom was arrested in an immigration raid - spamlet Jul 19, 05:37 26
- my gut response says to send him back with his mom. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 06:14
- So they deported the mom, but left the infant here? - amoxy Jul 19, 05:59 11
  - He's a citizen. He probably can't be deported forcibly. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 06:01 8
    - Something is very wrong when they forcibly take away a 7 month old infant from a mother -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 06:02 7
      - It sounds like she was arrested and the kid went to family members before ending up with the American couple. - spamlet Jul 19, 06:04 6
        
        This 2 year old article has the details -- (link) - Roger More Jul 19, 06:17
        
        Like I said below...what if she didn't fight the deportation...I'd bet she and her son would be living together in Guatemala right now. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 06:05 4
        
        Her sentence for using a fake SSN was two years imprisonment, followed by deportation. I don't think she did fight the deportation -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:21 3
        
        I'm curious as to what would have happened to a 6 month old child to an American mother who got sentenced to 2 years for...I don't know...robbery or - Jim Jul 19, 06:26 2
        
        And that would be equally tragic. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:33
        
        [deleted]
  - The child was born in the US. Can he be deported? -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:00 1
    - [deleted]
- It should be mentioned that he's now 5 years old. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 05:42 12
  - He's five, but his mother has been challenging the adoption for four years. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 05:48 10
    - Right. But to me a 5 year old vs say an 18 month old...is different in this situation. For me. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 05:51 9
      - Yeah, but my point is that after a case, an appeal where the case is sent back to the lower court, saying the adoption was improper... - Roger More Jul 19, 05:59 7
        
        After the raid that busted the mom...could she have just said, "Fine, send me and my son back to Guatemala?" I mean, the family members passed the - Jim Jul 19, 06:02 6
        
        He was put up for adoption without her consent. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:10 5
        
        Unfortunately, her own sister kinda caused that. -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 06:24 4
        
        I agree it's unfortunate, but do her rights as a parent end because of what her sister did? -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 06:26 2
        
        I don't know...what rights do parents still have in jail? -- nm - Jim Jul 19, 06:27 1
        
        Come on - are you really 100% comfortable with the decision? - Roger More Jul 19, 06:52
        
        [deleted]
      - RM is saying that he wouldn't *be* five and disputed had they given the child back at the onset of this. I'm not disagreeing with you. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 05:58
