Yes- they do have computers in vegas- but phil was playing poker for 15 hours straight most nights and finished really high in one big tournament that took two days. How do I know this? Phil sent me some texts from the table, especially during his tournament run- and I also know Rumpole was posting comments during that time. <br /><br />Proof? Not 100%. Beyond a reasonable doubt? He'd be acquitted based on this IMHO. <br /><br />FOPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-81189219246746170052009-06-09T11:31:43.769-04:002009-06-09T11:31:43.769-04:00Carlos is a great guy - the problem is Bennett, Ro...Carlos is a great guy - the problem is Bennett, Rory and Weed<br />are out of touch and not so great.<br /><br />Issue still is they had money for<br />16 new lawyers - that's a minimum<br />of 640k (at 40k per lawyer) and<br />they gave it to themselves. All of this when they publicly complain about a lack of funding and lack<br />of attorneys to handle cases. The<br />shit stinks. <br /><br />And then they get 40 plus attorneys<br />to volunteer their time on top of it.

A.T. Massey Coal Company<br /><br />http://www.supremecourtus.gov/<br />opinions/08pdf/08-22.pdf<br /><br />The vote was 5-4, with Kennedy writing for the Majority. I am sure that you can guess who the four justices were. Scalia writes a separate Dissent quoting from The Babylonian Talmud.<br /><br />In this case the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia reversed a trial court judgment, which had entered a jury verdict of $50 million. Five justices heard the case, and the vote to reverse was 3to 2. <br /><br />The question presented is whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was violated when one of the justices in the majority denied a recusal motion. The basis for the motion was that the justice had received campaign contributions ($3 MILLION DOLLARS) in an extraordinary amount from, and through the efforts of, the board chairman and principal officer of the corporation found liable for the damages.<br /><br />The Court ruled that "in an election decided by fewer than 50,000 votes, Blankenship’s campaign contributions—compared to the total amount contributed to the campaign, as well as the total amount spent in the election—had a significant and disproportionate influence on the outcome. And the risk that Blankenship’s influence engendered actual bias is sufficiently substantial that it “must be forbidden if the guarantee of due process is to be adequately implemented.”<br /><br />Scalia, in Dissent:<br /><br />"A Talmudic maxim instructs with respect to the Scripture: “Turn it over, and turn it over, for all is therein.”, Divinely inspired text may contain the answers to all earthly questions, but the Due Process Clause most assuredly does not. The Court today continues its quixotic quest to right all wrongs and repair all imperfections through the Constitution. Alas, the quest cannot succeed—which is why some wrongs and imperfections have been called nonjusticiable. In the best of all possible worlds, should judges sometimes recuse even where the clear commands of our prior due process law do not require it? Undoubtedly. The relevant question, however, is whether we do more good than harm by seeking to correct this imperfection through expansion of our constitutional mandate in a manner ungoverned by any discernable rule. The answer is obvious.<br /><br />CAPTAIN OUT .....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-7940986683024024432009-06-08T18:07:56.446-04:002009-06-08T18:07:56.446-04:00Cut the crap on Carlos.
