I have no problem believing that this court will try to find a way to get it in front of them and then vote this case incorrectly to get the result they want.

Looking forward to their reasoning to strike down California's Prop 50.

if we have proven one thing it is that the median voter does not put all that much thought into who they are replacing the bum with when they throw the bum out

the important point is: there is a bum, and he needs to go

She is actually completely fluent and according to her husband once startled a cab driver after getting in the back seat with her raincoat hood up, giving her destination, and then removing her hood a minute or two later because she is very not Korean

My cousin lives in Seoul and teaches there. HMU and I'll try to connect you with her for tips, though IIRC her likely answer is "lock yourself in a room and watch Korean soap operas for a month"

Reminds me of when I moved from the Imperial Valley to Orange County. My first year here I laughed at people who thought it was too hot to play basketball if it was 90F - we used to play if it was 110F or less. Now I have to be forced outside if it's over 85F.
