Donald Trump the prompt reader is pretty bland, but thank god he still slips into that almost accidentally poetic kind of nonsense.
an amateur scriptwriter wrote:Too much work,
too many people,
blood, sweat, and tears.

Never going to let you down.
Also, nothing Hillary says about anything will be as big a rewrite as this line:
Basically Dennis Hopper in Mario Bros wrote:I've built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit all parties involved. Always. My goal is always, again, to bring people together.

Hillary's entire wardrobe looks like a bunch of decorative garbage bags. Like the kind you'd put on in the rain if you didn't have a poncho.

That would be a blatant violation of the First Amendment here.
Well...:http://www.nass.org/component/docman/?t ... d&gid=1347
I don't know if all those would survive a challenge in the courts. Certainly it could be regulated directly on the property of the polling place, and impeding ingress into the the polling place is obviously not allowed. But if the "within x feet/yards" encloses public places that aren't needed to be used by the polling stations, I think that's a real troublesome infringement of freedom of expression.
Do the restrictions on abortion protesters that have passed muster have off-limit areas a bit larger than merely allowing free ingress?

Well, there was a recent big SCOTUS case (McCullen v. Coakley) that struck down some of those restrictions. That's the case made me think that the courts could strike down some provisions of these laws if they were challenged.

The problem with acknowledging the relevance of human bias in the court system is that, once you start compiling the various types of bias involved, it becomes rapidly apparent just how thoroughly unrelated evidence is to assigned guilt, and how unrelated that guilt is to your eventual consequence. Impartiality is a fantasy, and professionalism or process as a protection against basic human error is worse. We are at the mercy of a system of perception that is, frankly, not up to the job. Not ever. So what looks like a can of worms is actually a rather powerful bomb.

If you're ever up for parole, gents, try to get your hearing in right after a meal. But definitely don't go in right before the next one.

I see the ads have started. Clinton got hers out first. It's bizarre that presidential campaigns resort to this.

Google’s autocomplete function seems to be tilted in favor of Hillary Clinton, a report says, but the company denied that it skews results for any candidate.

For example, SourceFed noted in a video on Google’s own YouTube service that typing “Hillary Clinton cri” on Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing suggest phrases that link Hillary Clinton to crime. Similarly, typing “Hillary Clinton ind” on Yahoo and Bing suggest phrases that link Hillary Clinton to the possibility of being indicted as a result of her email records.

On Google, however, typing “Hillary Clinton cri” results in suggestions for “Hillary Clinton crime reform” and “Hillary Clinton crisis.” Similarly, a search for “Hillary Clinton ind” brings up suggestions on Hillary Clinton and Indiana, independents and India, and not indictment.

searches for: hillary clinton indictment

google yields 847k hits

bing yields 18.4 million hits

yahoo yield 14.8 million hits

She already has, it's called the Senate. Democrats would be mindful not to jeopardize any power they may have in that chamber.
