How does the 5th Circuit over rule SCOTUS?

I think I understand what's going on here. Not saying it's logical or anything like that.
The 5th did not overrule SCOTUS. The case is currently at the 5th circuit level, and won't go to SCOTUS until the 5th rules. The 5th didn't put a stay on the Texas law, so the corrupt FJB administration appealed to SCOTUS for an emergency stay until the 5th did something. SCOTUS put the stay on the Texas law for a while, then lifted it. Almost instantly, the 5th issued a stay. It's a very unlikely coincidence, ot I suspect there was coordination.

THE Police Scotland response to recent press articles on the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act show a worrying lack of understanding of the issues in hand ("Pressure mounts to delay new hate crime law", The Herald, January 16).

THE Police Scotland response to recent press articles on the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act show a worrying lack of understanding of the issues in hand ("Pressure mounts to delay new hate crime law", The Herald, January 16).

Police Scotland told The Herald that its training "has been developed in close consultation with diversity staff associations". In doing so, it fails to grasp concerns about the undue influence of groups advocating for the primacy of gender identity over sex in policy and law, and what this means for freedom of expression Police Scotland further explained that "for recording purposes, the perception of the victim or any other person is the defining factor in determining whether an incident is a hate incident or in recognising any malice element of a crime. The alleged actions of the perpetrator must amount to a crime under the rules of the Scottish Crime Recording Standards".

This is muddled at best. Perception is only determinative in relation to recording incidents, whether or not they involve criminal offences. This is Police Scotland policy, not law. Police Scotland is still to catch up with developments in case law in England and Wales, where the threshold for recording is much higher and does not rely on the complainants' say-so. As it stands, its self-described "victim-centred" policy is vulnerable to legal challenge. For aggravated offences, it is true that the actions must amount to a crime; but not that the perception of the victim is the "defining factor" in recognising malice. For prejudice relating to sexual orientation or transgender identity the legislation states an offence is aggravated if the offender either "evinces" or is "motivated" by malice or ill-will. The offence requires "evidence" of this.

So you're over 60 years old and still acting like you're 12 waiting for someone else to pay off your debt that you obviously just blew off hoping someone else would pay off your debt?

Fuck You. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 90% of those are Democrats

I would say it is closer to 99.9%, probably 100%

I have a friend who works on a program for student loan forgiveness. Last week he told me about a student loan just shy of $1million that he had to approve per the rules set in place. Two months ago there was another that was just shy of $700K that was forgiven.
