In my state, the state-issued photo ID cards absolutely do.
In my state, the state-issued photo ID cards absolutely do.
Even in the US, you’re legally required to for quite a number of things. The most obvious being driver’s license/ID cards.
$250k fine, but they haven’t prosecuted anyone since the 80s, and even then, it was only a handful and typically only when the person went around bragging about it in protest.
The bigger deal is being barred from federal employment, contracts, grants, and other programs. Some states may deny drivers licenses because of it. And it used to mean you couldn’t receive federal financial aid for college, but that changed in 2020.
That was apparently repealed in 2020.
Wish it would’ve happened sooner. There was some issue with my school’s financial aid office every freaking semester. A week before classes started, I would get a letter that all my financial aid was canceled for failing to register, and I’d have to go in and prove I had. After the 4th time, they finally took a photocopy of my registration and had me sign an affidavit and appended it to my file.
You’re required to sign up within 30 days of your 18th birthday. You should have (well your parents anyway) a social security card within the first year of your life, strange outliers aside.
It’s still technically a crime knowingly not registering, with a $250k fine, even if it hasn’t been prosecuted in decades.
It also bars you from federal government jobs, many federal programs, and grants. Until 2020, it also barred any federal financial aid for education, but that’s changed now.
More importantly it removes the federal bankruptcy protection for the company and allows the families to pursue execution of the judgments in state court.
To be fair, this was never really about making mifepristone illegal outright. It was mostly about the FDA rules that would allow by mail order without first consulting a doctor. Consulting a doctor for its other uses would allow it to be prescribed for them.
They need a case where mifepristone has caused any harm at all to the plaintiffs at the very least. That this case even got here is a testament to the insanity of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I think a lot of people are surprised by this, but I think it’s mostly 9-0 because it wasn’t really settled on any merits – these people just did not have standing to sue.
I’m pretty sure this came out of the 5th Circuit and I’d expect to see more rulings like this smacking the 5th Circuit down because it specifically has gone off the rails and started making insane rulings unsupported by any law or precedent.
While SCOTUS has made some questionable rulings in the last several years, they’re still going to punt in obvious situations where they can.
Worth noting that was also Sinclair. Over the years I’ve seen numerous right wing MAGA wackos try to use that as a demonstration of the mainstream media being corrupt unlike www.freedomeagleflag.ru or whatever. They don’t like when you point out it was Sinclair, a right wing junk outlet.
I know multiple people, several of them fine upstanding Republicans that have violated this same law by lying on this same form. Hell, one of them has done it repeatedly in order to straw purchase firearms for his son, a convicted felon.
Is it too late to abort Ron DeSantis?
They’re trying to shift the party even further right to gobble up the Never Trump Republicans. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a long term goal in order to further minimize the progressive agenda within the party. Pull enough conservatives into the party and you’d have one big party that’s right of center, a smaller fascist party, and an unorganized gaggle of progressives.
I also think it’s generally quite a stupid play that’s going to backfire on them and probably just empower the fascists.

You dare suggest the God Emperor has peers?!
Yikes. I would’ve deleted that too. This is exactly why the US Constitution explicitly defines treason and makes such a high bar for conviction. Treason has a history of being used as a cudgel to destroy any political opposition or dissent.
Like I said, you’re as ridiculous as any MAGA loon. You may as well be shouting “Hang Mike Pence” or talking about super secret military tribunals convening to try your political enemies.
This is not treason. You sound as ridiculous as any MAGA loon.
So. While this law is relatively new (more than a decade old iirc,) it has required waivers in previous elections already, from both parties. Maybe next time the parties should actually take deadlines like this into consideration when planning their conventions? The deadline is August 7th, so it’s not some implausibly early date, as the Democratic convention is only scheduled like two weeks later. And the deadline hasn’t been a surprise.
I agree they should get a waiver but damn, seems a bit incompetent.
It’s also not usually invalid just because it won when it “shouldn’t” have. It’s actually displaying a payout much higher than the listed value for the maximum payout of the machine.
Now, I feel like the fair thing would be paying that maximum payout and adding something on top for the customer’s troubles. But that probably isn’t going to satisfy someone who unreasonably expected $1.27m.
Free Speech Systems is out of bankruptcy court now, though. The Sandy Hook plaintiffs asked the court to either change the bankruptcy from a reorganization to a liquidation or dismiss the case. The judge concluded it was in the best interests of everyone involved to dismiss it and allow the SH plaintiffs to move forward in state courts towards collecting.
