From the RWEC: 18 U.S. Code § 1507. It states that anyone who “with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge. . .shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both” (emphasis added). I’m not saying the anti-Kavanaugh protesters should be fined or imprisoned, or even arrested. I’m saying that not taking these actions against them seems inconsistent with the treatment of most January 6 protesters being prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department. To be fair, I should point out that Senate Judiciary Committee members from both parties have denounced the protest at Justice Kavanaugh’s home. They say, correctly in my view, that the families and homes of government officials are not fair game. Sens. Dick Durbin and Patrick Leahy both took this position. Durbin’s comment was interesting. He said: When it comes to criminal trespass, we got a belly full of that on January 6th. I don’t care whether you’re right or left, that is unacceptable as far as I’m concerned in expressing your political feelings. Criminal trespass, or something along those lines, is all the vast majority of January 6 protesters should be charged with. I hope I’m not being too cynical when I wonder whether Durbin and Leahy are themselves acting “with the intent of influencing” Justice Kavanaugh. After all, he, not Chief Justice Roberts, is now the swing vote on the Supreme Court. Condemning a demonstration at Kavanaugh’s home seems like a good way to get on the Justice’s good side, or at least off of his sh*t list, where Durbin and Leahy both belong based on their unconscionable stance during Kavanaugh’s confirmation proceedings. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Lock them up.

@jolly Depends if he's into that sorta thing :devilgrin:

@lufins-dad said in Air Pump?: @doctor-phibes said in Air Pump?: @lufins-dad said in Air Pump?: @doctor-phibes said in Air Pump?: @lufins-dad for a bike, right? This is what I use Vibrelli bike pump I've had it for three years - I pump to about 100 psi pretty much every week, haven't had any issues. I even use it on the car occasionally, although that can be hard work. Thanks! I need it for bikes, strollers, various bouncy balls, and Lolita and various other athletic activities. I’ll take the cars to the gas station for air… Sheetz offers it free… The hand operated one is going to be hard work for anything that needs a large volume of air. It works great on a bike, which is low volume, high pressure. So you’re suggesting that I use something with more power for Lolita? I'd get a man in for that if I were you.

Very.

Apparently some BLM guy charged in there waving a gun, and somebody shouted "Donald, Duck!"

Texas songwriters seem to have that art form down pat. Take a listen to Lyle Lovett's 'Step Inside This House' CD. He does all songs from songwriters he knew and loved that you would otherwise never hear. Great piece of work.

I'm not sure RSV wasn't always there. We just didn't test as much off-season.

We attended the memorial recital for Renato this past week. My daughter drove all the way from New Hampshire to attend. She played Jimbo's Lullaby from Debussy's Children's Corner. I played the Goldberg Variations Aria and many more students traveled from all over to perform, or sent video performances. We played on a 9ft Petrof in the First Congregational Church, which is one block from Beloit College, where Renato was the chair of the music department for many years. The college disappointed all of us because they would not allow it to take place on campus "due to covid restrictions". It was a wonderful tribute to an amazing teacher, friend, husband to Nina, and father to Valentina. Valentina is 8 years old and played a duet that Renato arranged just for them. An old friend and student of Renato's played his part of the duet. It tugged at the heart strings on so many levels. Nina and Valentina flew in from Naples, FL that day and left the next day. They both gave short, emotional eulogies, and there was not a dry eye in the place. I saw this photo of him with Michelangeli for the first time at the memorial. I love the smile on Michelangeli's face. You can see the joy on both of their faces. [image: Renato-And-Michalangeli.jpg]

I surely hope so.

And then you die.

Oh come on, you can’t sniff hair through a mask! Cut the guy some slack.
