Yale Law J article: Does the Senate's failure to act on an executive nomination constitute implied consent? -- (link) - pixie ninja Mar 29, 16:00 4
- It actually makes a lot of sense, but I think only President Trump would be willing to test that theory. -- nm - pmb Mar 29, 16:04
- "implied oral consent....*not* express written consent" -- nm - prayformojo Mar 29, 16:02 2
  - It would set up a *fascinating* separation of powers case if Obama adopted this position with Garland's nomination - pixie ninja Mar 29, 16:06 1

  - wait about a year - pixie ninja Mar 29, 15:47 1
    - you mean it's unlikely that salaries and housing will continue marching inexorably upward? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 16:26

Like, I'm pretty sure harassing people in the bathroom is already illegal regardless of gender. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 14:51 7
- And the thing is the biggest danger to those women and children they say they're protecting is still straight males. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 29, 15:38 1

  - zug zug -- nm - Strongbad Mar 29, 15:24
  - The first and second were great. Warcraft 3 got too dense. -- nm - Mop Mar 29, 15:10 2

  - This is wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 15:05 1

In our local county Buy-Sell-Trade Facebook group, someone selling a worn (by them) Brady Quinn jersey for $50 firm. - Will Hunting Mar 29, 14:24 13
- I'll never buy another player jersey. That is why I appreciate the Seahawks retiring #12 for the fans. So you can just get one that says "Fan" - crash davis Mar 29, 14:30 12
  - is it inappropriate to wear a jersey for a player no longer with the team? they sell 120 new, really good ones 300 -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 14:41 10

        My oldest jersey is a home Red Sox #7 because of Trot. I've had to endure J.D. Drew, Stephen Drew. Now it's Vazquez. -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 15:03 3
        
        I'd forgotten that was one of the stops on the JD Drew MLB tour -- nm - crash davis Mar 29, 15:05 2
        
        huh, 3 teams, I thought he'd played for more than that -- nm - crash davis Mar 29, 15:10 1
        
        Cards, Braves, and Sox were it? Thought there were more too -- nm - CQ Mar 29, 15:11
        
        But if I still had it to do all over again, I would have bought #11 instead -- nm - crash davis Mar 29, 14:49 1

- But what does Susan Sarandon think? -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Mar 29, 14:41
- I heard about this and it's silly. Concierge Key is an invite only program with unpublished criteria extended to the highest value spenders. - ty97 Mar 29, 14:30 22
  - On a similar note, we were given Comfort+ on one of our legs and it was awesome, except it made me think "this is just what it's supposed to be like!" -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 14:45 12
    - One of the best things about status is that you get can get free access to the extra legroom sections - ty97 Mar 29, 15:23 1
      - I didn't realize that. Is that for any level of status? Does it cover you if you're purchasing more than one seat? Like would I have to pay for - pmb Mar 29, 15:28
    - I still can't get over the business class 'pods' on my flight back from Miami. - Meg Mar 29, 15:01 3
      - Was that the 77W (777-300)? That business class eats makes all the difference on the DFW-HKG run -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 15:25 2
        
        :( I get to coach that flight twice at the end of April. -- nm - iSpam Mar 29, 15:34
        
        Yup, that was it. -- nm - Meg Mar 29, 15:34
    - That must have been weird for your other leg. -- nm - pmb Mar 29, 14:57
    - What was different? -- nm - David's iPad Mar 29, 14:55 4
      - Wider seats, more (the normal) amount of leg room - Reagen Mar 29, 15:09 3
        
        And on Delta, Comfort+ includes free booze and (supposedly) dedicated overhead space too. -- nm - ty97 Mar 29, 15:22
        
        Oh, and padded seatbelts for some reason. -- nm - Reagen Mar 29, 15:11 1
        
        (the bad seeds) -- nm - pixie ninja Mar 29, 15:14
  - he is silly sometimes; but his AA inclusions in his videos have almost always been really positive and given them a huge amount of free pr/marketing. - b. Mar 29, 14:37 1
    - My sentiments exactly. Maybe an overreaction, but he's been a virtual spokesman for them for years and the backlash may hurt AA. They'll make nice. -- nm - Mop Mar 29, 14:52

  - admit it, you were drinking a beer through a straw -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 15:18
FEAR: Gronk has joined Instagram. - Diva Mar 29, 14:12 4
