The Model Rules explicitly disallow the type of defense she’s posing, I.e. “my boss told me it was OK!” She knows this, so she’s attempting to shift to a defense of innocent negligence (lack of diligence), rather than willful violations of law and ethics rules. Which, given she’s just agreed to be convicted of a crime or crimes, is going to be a tough defense to put up.

I believe Colorado will start separate bar/ethics proceedings now that’s she’s been newly convicted of a crime. She was not convicted when the CO Bar originally censured her, though the subject of the censure is largely the same.

TL;DR: She’s chock full of shit and hopes the CO Bar is going to punish her for a lack of diligence (which might be a lesser punishment) than for intentionally attempting to subvert an election.

I blame those evil hippoes. We think they just eat and chase people. They've been up to much worse for a very long time.

I always thought Ibanez was the worst for this. "What guitar would sound good on this track? I know - the SEW761CW! Or, if not, maybe a AZS2200F?"

I was referencing his ego ("fat head"). Save the scolding for your undoubtedly large collection of cats.

His fat head would probably slow things down a good bit, unfortunately

Was that hippo balancing a stack of bowls on its nose?

I’m torn, I want to watch because I obviously am curious, but I don't want to spoil anything

I'm not defending the other guy, but what's wrong with kbin?

Grim and heartbreaking. Good book though.

More and more, the existence of people like MTG makes me think we are living in a simulation, and some teenaged alien is laughing his ass off and showing his friends how ridiculous this particular simulation has gotten.

 

The NFL is expected to announce on Friday morning that the New York Jets will be featured on the HBO training camp series, "Hard Knocks," in 2023.

Anyone looking forward to this? I haven't watched (much) Hard Knocks in the past few years...it's become a bit formulaic.

 

Come talk about life after Tom Brady, where the team goes next, or anything else Bucs-related you'd like to chat about.
