    Supreme Court declines to hear case on reinstating Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction.
    CBS News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 76% • 2 min read

    [Bruce Castor, then the Montgomery County, PA, district attorney] was in charge of investigating a criminal complaint by Andrea Constand, who said Cosby sexually assaulted her in 2004. In a press release, Castor said he would not prosecute Cosby, as a conviction would be "unattainable."
    ...
    Constand then filed civil charges against Cosby and, in depositions in 2005 and 2006, Cosby testified he gave Constand Benadryl pills on the night of the assault. Cosby's depositions were made public in July 2015, and Montgomery County's new district attorney reopened the investigation, charging Cosby. [Cosby] moved to dismiss the charges, arguing the former prosecutor promised never to prosecute him.
    ...
    The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in Cosby's favor in June, finding he relied on the press release from Castor as a grant of permanent immunity. Prosecutors asked the [Supreme Court] to hear the case and argued [the PA supreme court's decision] sets a "dangerous precedent." [The Supreme Court] did not explain its decision not to hear the case.

Should the U.S. increase oil drilling on federal lands?

579 votes, 73 comments

Context: President Biden pressured to halt imports of Russian oil.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Until alternative energy sources are developed we need to continue to be energy independent through the use of oil reserves available in the US. If that means using Fed lands then we should do it, but continue to put emphasis on research and development of alternative sources of energy. Using oil produced in another country does not improve the climate it just moves the problem to another country, and at the same time making our country more reliant on countries that threaten the US.


No - Some will say that this is necessary to deal with the current oil shortage resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But increasing oil exploration and drilling on federal lands will take years ...



Unsure - Can enough capacity be added to make a signif...
