  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

“We are preparing to escalate this matter to the Supreme Court,” Smollett spokeswoman Holly Baird said, referring to Illinois’ highest court and also noting that the opinion at the appellate court wasn’t unanimous.
Not a brain fart lol... just missed that part... when you hear "the supreme court", one's mind goes to SCOTUS.

I stand corrected

It's incredibly annoying when an article's title says "Supreme Court" without qualification but then you look at it and realize it's just a state supreme court (or even the supreme court of another country entirely).

It does kind of remind me of the seen from the show "The Office" where Angela keeps bragging about the fact that she's dating "The Senator" and keeps introducing him as such, and then everyone around kinda mumbles "well...state senator"
