But how do you know it is just a few days? What if it is a few weeks, months or even years?

If we expect that, because of the state being a sanctuary state as other's have stated, we will see a surge in illegal alien residency. Then we should also see a similar surge in crimes and arrest of illegal aliens. That would mean a larger than average amount of cases involving house of these detainers as the ICE works through the deportation process.

What does all that mean......BACKLOG and that has to mean that there will be longer dention and if not supported by federally allocated funds it will push the cost to the local supporting tax base and that is simply wrong.

After reading the link that Rockguy posted, thumbs up to both of you.

Given the financial situation of the owner your somewhat paranoid conspiracy theory certainly has more merit.

While I would hope that personal loss wouldn't drive someone to risk both the environment and the local economy just to get out from what appears to be a very heavy rock, I am old and hopefully wise enough to realize that all men have their breaking point and perhaps this owner reached his.

So who pays for the continued detention of these illegal aliens within the county jail systems?

Is the federal government expecting that local tax payers carry the burden of housing and feeding these people and for how long?

I'm all for sending illegal aliens back to where they come from, but I'm opposed to federal mandates that doesn't include the required funding to be successful.

It isn't that hard you simply need to foul off a pitch or two. That is difference between good hitters in the top of the line up and great hitters in the same line up locations.

Fister only had three strike outs in 7 innings, and there were plenty of outs caused by batters having weak in play contact on the first and second pitches. This is what I'm talking about when I say that the Mariners suffer from poor plate management, which is something that a hitting coach should be explaining to the players.

A batter that gets out but takes a pitcher into 7+ pitches does more for the team than a batter getting on base with a hit on the first or second pitch only to be stranded due to lack of overall offensive performance by the team. Baseball is chess not checkers, and considering the overall abilities on the Mariners they need to maximize all of the little opportunities to make a big difference

I'm not sure how you can make that statement, as I understand it the child porn charge was tossed out due to lack of evidence.

While it is disturbing to say, I hope there is at least one other victim of his voyeuristic actions because without a victim that can take the stand and testify against him, this case may be harder to convict on than most would think.

I’m glad to see a win, however calling that a rally is like unwrapping a Christmas present and saying look what I have earned.

Allowing a pitcher to get away with 10 or less pitches in a single inning let alone in four innings is terrible plate management, either by the players or the coaching staff. A large part of the game is frustrating a pitcher by making them pitch on average 5 to 7 pitches per batter. Given where Fister was at in his recovery every batter should have been making him work long and deep into the count with 73 pitches in 7 innings equates to just 3.48 pitches per out and considering there was 4 hits during those seven innings that equates to just 2.98 pitches per batter. Allowing a starting pitcher this type of easy day at work is not going to win to many games.

Beyond the lack of offense from our bats the even more concerning sentence in the whole article is the last one…”The Mariners lead the majors with the most blown leads in a loss (10).” I hope we can turn these trends around otherwise it is going to be a long season.

Let's see what sounds more reasonable...

a) The president of the United States is so threatened by your family member that he orders Homeland Security and the Secret Service to raid your family member's home.

b) Your family member actually violates the law and a valid search warrant is issued and Homeland Security and the Secret Service conducts the raid

c) You are making this whole thing up because it is extremely unlikely either Homeland Security or the Secret Service would conduct a raid with a search warrant that is in support of evidence retrieval for felony child pornography; that would be something that the FBI would be engaged in.

Does it seem reasonable that a president that has the power to detain any citizen, at any time, for any length of time, without any charges being filed by simply listing them as an enemy combatant; would go through the effort of creating the ruse that you described?

Here are a couple of examples.....

James Watson & Francis Crick both admitted to using marijuana when they came up with the first correct double-helix model of DNA structure. For that effort they were awarded the Nobel Peace price in 1962.

Steve Jobs admitted to using marijuana and LSD while attending college. Hopefully you already know what he has accomplished.

Bill Clinton was a Rhode Scholar while using marijuana and later in life what was his accomplishment, oh yeah he became the President of the United States

What have you accomplished while being stoned or sober?

Not sure how many, but I can confirm at least 6 pro-choice adults have; my parents, my brother, his wife, my wife and myself.

Considering that 42% of those that responded to the Gallup poll in the following link identified themselves as "Pro-Choice" I have to assume that your assumption of it not being very many is more than likely wrong

Do you think that you could have just as easily said "in the militant mind there is no room for dissenting speech"?

Having a closed mind to the opinions of others is not limited to either the left or the right.

My high school science teacher told me something that has stuck with me "Almost everything we teach you lacks 100% certainty, to fail to acknowledge that will almost always cast doubts on your findings"
