Seems to be more integrity among lawyers of the DOJ than the military.

Any resistance from within the command ranks of the National guard, or just the “I was just following orders” defense?

It is convention not to do so but I am guessing that Hegseth and Trump would allow it. It is like saying that the Hatch Act disallows behavior currently being undertaken by agencies of the government.

On the upside, think how stupid all those principals must feel for claiming their school bullies won’t grow up to amount to anything.

I don’t see how something being against the law will be an impediment for Trump.

I’m sure a room full of military men hardened by combat were impressed by a nigh octogenarian bragging about how carefully he walks down stairs.

I don’t understand… he’s not fat and has no beard. What could possibly be the reason.

Can you state Explicitly which part of the model assumes that?

even if the Democrats had shut down the government they certainly didn’t “shutdown the government”.

Same here. Waiting for my daughter to get a little older. She has liked all of my other favorite movies so far (she’s going as the man in black from Princess Bride for Halloween this year!)

Ok.. I dug into this a little more. The paper that seems to be referenced in that sciencedaily.com article is this one: Indications of a Spatial Variation of the Fine Structure Constant, by Webb et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 2011). They found that the fine structure constant appears to change...

this should read "explain the observations as well as the current cosmology". that was written on my phone and the autocorrect goes nuts with my poor phone typing skills. I usually proofread but this slipped through.

Apparently this paper is from 15 years ago. So I’m curious whether this has been further supported or was just some anomalous measurement. I’ll see what I can find out when I get a chance to look into it.

And can you qualify how mainstream these other ideas are? Just because someone says something does not mean it is the consensus view of practicing cosmologists. As far as I know the lambda-CDM model is still the standard model of cosmology despite still having issues to work out. I think...

Maybe because Biden didn’t treat the DOJ as his own personal law firm, filled with his lackeys, firing whoever didn’t do his bidding. Better to ask Garland…
