Deputy Steven Mills of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office was on patrol one night in 2013 when he received a call about a naked Black man walking down a rural road in Phenix City, Alabama. Mills said the man ignored his calls to stop, but when the officer threatened to use his Taser, 24-year-old Khari Illidge turned, walked toward him and said, “tase me, tase me.” In a sworn statement, the deputy said he shocked Illidge twice because he’d been unable to physically restrain the “muscular” man with “superhuman strength.”

The US Department of the Interior has a nice little present for America: a new “Public Lands Rule” that will fundamentally change how the government manages public lands. For the first time ever the US will require that recreation, conservation, habitat preservation, and clean energy development balance out land use policy, which for most of US history has been aimed primarily at handing over parcels of public lands for commercial exploitation.

In a state where the government owns more than 80 percent of the land, proposals to use it are common. And for Nevadans, so is the instinct to protect the Silver State’s picturesque landscapes and precious natural resources. That’s where the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) comes in.

Legal experts say Aristocrat Technologies Inc.’s copyright infringement lawsuit against Las Vegas slot machine manufacturer Light & Wonder Inc. may be difficult to win, but an unusual wrinkle in the case — that former Aristocrat employees worked on their rival’s product — could be significant to the outcome.

Wilton Cardinal Gregory, who is the Archbishop of Washington, D.C., recently called President Joe Biden a “cafeteria Catholic.” That means he follows some elements of his Catholic faith, but chooses to ignore others. “There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a ‘cafeteria Catholic,’ you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging.” Bishops, who lead the Catholic Church, would prefer that all Catholics follow all elements of the Catholic religion.
