Sorry that Hamas is putting said children in harms way by hiding behind them. Fkn cowards. Let them all die.
Super Thwackage is the order of the day.
Yes sir/ma’am. Expect that anytime we start debating ethno-states and genocide.
Regardless of which side of the debates you are on, good for Chesnoff for volunteering.
Will the sometimes cowardly SCOTUS strike down this horrible tax provision? Taxing unrealized gains is both irrational (scaring investment) and tyrannical (forcing one to pay for what one has not received). We will find out! If SCOTUS fails, good luck to all my bitcoin and crypto wacko friends.

It’s an interesting and difficult case. It seems to me that this is a policy problem that should be addressed by Congress, not the courts. But judicial restraint isn’t in fashion these days at the Supreme Court, so I doubt that view will prevail.
A couple weeks ago when Judge Russell’s retirement was announced we discussed that he low key probably had an exceptionally outsized influence on Nevada statutory law and legislative jurisprudence than anyone else in the last fifteen years…. and here is an example of that very same influence as the first JD gatekeeper for ballot challenges and statutory constitutionality.
Russell just ruled last week on an election integrity lawsuit out of Reno as well, from what I read dismissing and awarding NRS 18.010 attorney fees.
The legislature is free to amend the venue statutes to provide for venue in election law cases other than in the First Judicial District Court.
Wilson is retiring, not Russell.
So election law is first Judicial District by default. Is it correct that all statutory constitutional challenges can also venue to first JD?
I may have painted with too broad a brush to say “election law,” but disputes over ballot questions have venue exclusively in First JD. Some other election stuff does too, mainly dealing with challenges to Secretary of State election regulations. Election contest cases can have venue elsewhere in certain cases.
The general venue statute for actions against the state and public officers is NRS 13.020. https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-013.html#NRS013Sec020. To the extent some action arose in Carson City as to state officers, my read is venue would be proper in the First JD. Additionally, under NRS 41.031(2), where there would otherwise have been sovereign immunity but for the statutory waiver, an action against the state or any political subdivision of the state may be brought in any county where some part of the cause arose or in Carson City. https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-041.html#NRS041Sec031
The standing/stopping ordinance seems like a bad look after the viral screaming security guard video.
