    Dear nomesorah

    “But once they were already ‘stolen’, then it no longer reflects the results of an election and it would not be a crime. But then the defense would have to prove that it was ‘stolen’ in the first place. ”

    Why? Innocent until proven guilty. Onus is on prosecution.

    “Jack and 2cents are correct.”
    Hope you realize that Jack and 2scents are not saying the same thing. Jackk doesn’t give any dispensation for stealing back an election; 2scents forbids it only because the State already certified it. Which, from what I recall, is incorrect. I think Trump asked Brad to “find” the votes before it was certified. Again, I might be wrong.
    Either way, if there is no way to overturn a stolen election, other than fighting it in court systems which all turn it down due to technical reasons, I got to sympathize with Trump here. Legal or not, I don’t know, but what else could rectify a wrong? I also don’t know what the big crime is in asking Brad to find votes–sounds legal. Whatever.

    As Tova pointed out, it’s terrible, as it teaches children to disobey school rules.

    Besides that, the entire series culminates with the heroizing and whitewashing of a truly bad man, due to his incapability of getting over his ex-girlfriend. A sleaze bag and jerk, who punishes Gryffindorers but give Slytheriners a free pass, Snape was a DEATH EATER who never changed his hashkafos. Indeed, he continued calling Voldemort the Dark Lord. But he begrudgingly agreed to save Harry, and betray his beliefs, not because he caused the death of two people, but because one of those people (a married woman) was his love.

    True, it’s much easier to vent and criticize, make demands on all the existing schools, and get Rechnitz to publicly decry the situation, but I would have thought all the girls crying themselves to sleep would motivate some hustling.

    Article II, Section I, Clause 8 of the Constitution requires the President to be sworn in. It does not say that his Presidency is contingent on the oath. Hence, Atchison became President despite not having taken the oath.

    “In 1880, Atchison wrote in a letter, “I never for a moment acted as President of the U.S.””
    Acting as President certainly is not required to be the President. With your argument, you can say that Biden is also not the President.

    The Longest Pesach: R’ Yechezkel Landau was walking one day, when he noticed a nochri boy sitting and crying. He inquired, and the boy replied that every day he sells a basket of his uncle, the baker, ‘s bread but today it fell and he can’t sell it and his uncle will beat him mercilessly. R’ Landau gave him the amount of money he needed.
    Years later, one Pesach, the boy–now a man–knocks on his door, and informs him that his uncle is plotting to kill all the Jews in the city. After Pesach every year, they all come to buy bread from him. He would poison the bread this year. R’ Landau must foil the plot, but without the uncle discovering the nephew gave him away.
    On Acharon Shel Pesach, R’ Landau made an announcement in shul that there was a mistake in the calendar and that it was really the 7th day of Pesach. That night, or next morning, when everyone was observing Acharon Shel Pesach, he contacted the chief of police, who fed the bread to a dog, and found it to be poisoned. The baker was arrested, and R’ Landau announced that the calendars were right after all.

    1. Why was he not oveir lo sichaneim?
    2. What heter was there to extend Pesach and cause all those brachos levatalos?
    3.Even if there is a heter, would it have been so hard to concoct a different story, maybe that all the flour in the country was found to be owned by a Jewish heretic (and came in contact with water), and hence no one may eat it?

    “Rav Ovadia permitted saying a “mi sheberach” for a ‘םומגקג Druze soldier and a hashkava for the Druze police officer killed in the Har Nof massacre”

    Which “Rav Ovadia?” R’ Yosef?
    Which “har nof massacre”? The one in which R’ Twersky zt”l and three others were murdered? (I don’t know of any others, sure hope there weren’t.)

    R” Ovadia Yosef was niftar a year before the Har Nof massacre.

    R’ Noach zt”l and Rebbetzin Weinberg zt”l were of the most influential gedolim of our times, and it is shocking that there has been no article about her.

    gee is he paid per word? I’m like at least a 1/3 of the way thru and all he’s saying in many, many paragraphs, is that resumes are a new innovation. Not a word so far about why resumes are so terrible.

    BTW It happens to be that I found a Shidduch resume posted online 1870 years ago, but since then they seem to have fallen out of style. [I hope the point I’m making is clear enough. If it’s not, I’ll rephrase it as a question: How old is the internet?]

    They need to bump their speed limits up—the highest it gets, on a freeway, is 110 kmh. An average city street is 40 kmh.
    Some streets should certainly have such limits–the two-lane curvy roads with space for one car and maybe a pedestrian–but many streets could be higher.
    And the ridiculous speed bumps every 3 meters, which breaks the wheels unless you’re driving half the speed limit……

    @CTLAWYER

    Really? Someone shoots someone and police nab him. Headlines say “Armed man arrested for killing 12-year-old girl”. They would be in danger of libel? There’s no indication of guilt in such a statement. Maybe it’s just a flat-out practice so they don’t slip up? [for example, accidentally writing “Armed man arrested for murder of 12-year old girl”, the word ‘murder’ already determining that a crime has been committed, (albeit not directly accusing the ‘suspect’)]

    It seems such a clumsy way of phrasing it. “Suspect arrested in killing of girl”, after surveillance videos clearly show it was him [directed @ujm. The individual’s identity can be known without the court’s conviction.] and the sole question is his guilt. It would make much more sense to write “Killer arrested,” and yes, we know that he faces a jury to determine his guilt.
