Can she unilaterally pass a law like that? Serious question, I’m not at all familiar with the governmental and legislative process in Iceland.
He was actually the first black astronaut and also invented the light bulb. Give this man his due respect!
The Model Rules explicitly disallow the type of defense she’s posing, I.e. “my boss told me it was OK!” She knows this, so she’s attempting to shift to a defense of innocent negligence (lack of diligence), rather than willful violations of law and ethics rules. Which, given she’s just agreed to be convicted of a crime or crimes, is going to be a tough defense to put up.
I believe Colorado will start separate bar/ethics proceedings now that’s she’s been newly convicted of a crime. She was not convicted when the CO Bar originally censured her, though the subject of the censure is largely the same.
TL;DR: She’s chock full of shit and hopes the CO Bar is going to punish her for a lack of diligence (which might be a lesser punishment) than for intentionally attempting to subvert an election.

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
Thank you, that's good to know
Anyone else think the Sake part of the story is really weird too? Like, is that the preferred pairing with human flesh? Who makes that recommendation? A cannibal sommelier?
Makes me worried about my resmed CPAP. No weird foam chunks have come out of it, but still...
How is she homeless ? Why doesn’t she have a home in jail after she was caught embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars?
I don't know if "business traveler" is Frontier's main customer, exactly.
Of course. It's not a suit in good faith, it's just another delay tactic.
No, what they're doing is legally acceptable, though obviously a delay tactic. They're suing him in his capacity as a judge, not as an individual.
The constitution should have a clause making this doubly true for governors of Florida, though
Apologies to real burning dumpster fires of dogshit
Thanks, man, no offense taken.
Wish my computer weren't dead, so I could at least try to play it. Although my 2070 wouldn't have survived. It runs nice on my Series X, but I hate playing this type of game with a controller.
Remember the look on his face when he won? He was horrified! Same when he first met with Obama and they had a joint press conference. His body language was like, "oh fuck, what am I even doing here."
I think regret is hard for him though, because to regret something means you have to feel, in some way, you could have done something better or differently. You have to take ownership of bad feelings and in your part of bad outcomes. I just don't think his brain will let that happen. Everything bad is always someone else's fault.
But yeah...maybe in some dark, cobweb encrusted corner of his mind, he wishes he was just a NY scam artist and fake "tycoon." It served him well enough, as you noted.
