Question on moves
Unit A attacks an enemy unit. At the same time units B and C support HOLD unit A.
What is the defensive strength of unit A? Is it 2 beceuse it is supported by 2, or is the support wasted because unit A is attacking rather than holding?

Hillary Clinton found guilty on 237 charges
Treason, Money Laundering through her foundation, illegally checking her facebook, illegally deleting an email from a south african prince who left her millions in his will, Regecide, criminal neglect, intent to have intent, causing rising sea levels, orchestrating the murder of rival DNC members, 9/11, and a whole host of other charges ranging from multi-accounting to impersonating Jesus. Lock her up. So glad this criminal investigation paid off.

Federal Judge Denies Motion Challenging White House Travel Ban
HONOLULU — A federal judge in Hawaii is leaving Trump administration rules in place for a travel ban on citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries.

Judge Derrick K. Watson, of Federal District Court in Honolulu, on Thursday denied an emergency motion filed by Hawaii asking him to clarify what the United States Supreme Court meant by a “bona fide” relationship in its ruling last month. Hawaii’s attorney general, Doug Chin, objected to the administration’s omission of grandparents, aunts and uncles from the administration’s list of people meeting the definition of a close relationship. Judge Watson said the relationship question would be better posed to the Supreme Court than to him.

You know what's weird? This isn't showing up on the front page of Google News. Kind of freaking me out, like if this was overturned it would be on the front page and maybe even breaking news alerts on cable TV, but Judge sides with Trump? Nada. Kind of weirding me out a bit here.

If the judge had ruled on this, it would be huge news, because he'd have been superseding a superior court. As is, it's just a judge doing what he's supposed to and passing the buck back to where it's already been passed. Not really meaningful or surprising regardless of how you feel about the issue.

That was before a superior court chose to rule on this.

So I looked it up and it wasn't a challenge to the travel ban, it was a motion seeking a clarification about the scope of what the Supreme Court temporary travel ban is, and the judge said to ask the Supreme Court because it was their ruling.

No Brad, the courts ARE supposed to question the legality of laws passed by congress or executed by the president. They are not supposed to question the decisions of higher courts, only appeals coming from decisions of lower courts.

ND Google has been known to censor news. However, my own search "hawaii judge rules on travel ban" turns up plenty of hits for this.

Most of the stories are form ~12 hours ago, when you were searching. Probably just hadn't had time to rise in the listings yet.

no they are not to judge the the legality of laws passed by congress or executed by the president, they are to assess the constitutionality of the laws. there is a difference. if the laws are passed they are legal, whether they are in conflict or not with the constitution is the question.

CNN found the Reddit user who created the WWE wrestling meme
http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/index.html
This is just sad. A news organization so triggered by a meme that they would go after the poor guy and threaten to release identity to get an apology and is still threatening to release his identity. You can argue if it was appropriate that Trump tweeted this but this is not ok. This is freedom of speech and he might get severely punished for it. Apparently CNN never understood that "1984" is fiction.
