Re: The law isn't magic, it didn't make them act like that
the corrupt cops and giving them a swift boot out the door,
Using the term ``corrupt'' as I suspect you are, to identify cops who are unwilling to follow the law or the Constitution, the suggestion of giving them a ``swift boot'' may leave the police station empty. Well, there may be a secretary or two, but generally no cops.
It appears that the State wants to officially stay out of the litigation, going so far as to only give standing to non-state employees. So, let us consider the possibilities.
Big Tex does something to fund an abortion, perhaps it is enough that buys a girl a train ticket over to a different state. Surely it would be enough to at least let someone consider suit.
Little Tex, a friend of Big Tex, sues. Big Tex defends on the ground that the statute is unconstitutional. Little Tex tells the court that, upon reflection, Big Tex appears correct, and they provide an agreed judgment to that effect, which the court accepts.
In such a case, the law appears unconstitutional. If Big and Little were imaginative, they might manage to get the case positioned so that it goes up on appeal, agree there, and have an appellate ruling to the desired effect.
What Google is getting is what we used to call a general warrant: give us info on everyone whose phone was in the area, whether or not they were actually in position to commit the act under investigation. That is not readily distinguished from the old general warrant to search everyone who passes by such a location.
So putting ten rounds in a 15-year-old who is throwing rocks at you is fine?
Well, yes, that is what the US 9th Circuit is saying. It comes with some empty language deploring such things, but the actual decision is that this is fine. Also, it does not matter if the ``throwing rocks'' part is a post-hoc fabrication.
It would be interesting to see some authority or explanation for this claim. Right now, it strikes me as being much along the lines of a book vendor telling me that I cannot have the radio playing music while I read.
in short “Notify the user who provided the content of the removal and explain the reason the content was removed” occur because rules aren't enforced evenly.
They are not enforced evenly in my living room, either. In my living room (or on my web site), I get to make the decisions. They are probably not the same decisions Parler or Stormfront would make.
If you want decisions compatible with Parler or Stormfront, then go to their living rooms.
A social media site with millions of users is not "your lawn" and you will never realistically own one
I also am unlikely to own the lawn of the Stetson mansion. That does not mean that the owner is under some special obligation to allow me to stand on his lawn and shout offensive propaganda.
Many school boards are extensions of county authority, not state.
That sounds so very strange that I should like to hear of the state where this is the case. Certainly in Florida, which is the one with which I am most familiar, the school boards are creatures of the state, provided for in the state constitution, and having taxing authority independent of the counties. I have seen similar in several other states, and none where the counties have authority over the schools.
In some cases the school board and county will agree to use the same district lines, but that is a choice the entities make at their option.
As creatures of the state, rather than of the county, school boards in Florida have certain inherent powers and duties. DeSantis, though a goof, may find it difficult to overcome the constitutional autonomy of school boards in order to dictate local mask policy.
These attorneys will now be paying the legal fees and costs incurred by the multiple Michigan government entities that were forced to defend themselves from this baseless lawsuit.
The interesting thing is that all the attorneys are on the hook here. From pg 109 of the order: IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ attorneys shall jointly and severally pay the fees and costs incurred by the State Defendants and the City of Detroit to defend this action.
So, until someone actually pays, they all have judgments against them. That has consequences, assuming always that the defendants properly record the judgment for fees.
I understand the King James version to be a derivative work, largely consisting of translated Greek (New Testament) and Hebrew (Old Testament) writings. So any copyright claimed by the crown might be subject to prior claims.

We are all probably dumber for having read this. And, under this theory, you probably need a license from me to have your computer display this response.
Like I said above, the value comes from telling you where to find the stuff in which you are likely to be interested. Google do not create the content, any more than the guy at the gas station creates the store you are seeking, but they do provide value by giving directions.
Works out to 2.6M out of over 300M population, or less than 1%. Given an effective party aparatus, you can have that in a few days. Indeed, 100,000 signatures is required just for a citizen amendment to our (Volusia) county charter, and we are far from the biggest in the state. So, 100,000 from an entire state does not strike me as difficult.
That might be a challenge if you have to get them from Wyoming or Vermont where the populace is spread about great bunches of mountains. However, there are enough urban states that getting so many signatures from half would be no problem. We would have a constant oscillation as the two parties each remove the other's choices.
You are right as to the published standards; whole milk is now only required to be 3.25% to be sold as such. But real product as it comes from a cow has undergone three steps which make this misleading:
separation of fat, called ``skimming''
thorough blending, called ``homogenization''
cooking, called ``pasteurization''
Many vendors add back the minimum 3.25% after separation in order to have a standardized product which meets requirements. Some indeed still target 4%. In some states, if you know someone you can get the real product as it comes from the cow, though it is sufficiently illegal here that the product is costly.

I'll wait.
I hope you were not holding your breath while you waited, because you could have turned blue. It took Mike about three-quarters of a day to put up a long list for you. Yes, a good chunk of that time was hours of sleeping and probably some time spent eating and working as well. That would not make you any less blue from oxygen deprivation, however.
The only reason there's a warrant involved at all is that they can't get the information by just looking around
Certainly that is an important difference. What a cop can see by just looking around does not need a warrant. However, to go in your house to nose about does require one because he cannot see inside your house by just looking around.
Even going in the club and asking the patrons what they saw is different. There, you have an identifed group (those who were in a position to see something) and they are free to speak to the cop, or not, as they will.
