"...cannot be upheld."
Anyone who thinks the "platinum coin" solution to the Debt Ceiling is obviously legal needs to read Bloomington Nat'l Bank v. Telfer, 916 F.2d 1305 (7th Cir. 1990), in which a court bench-slapped the Comptroller of the Currency for abusing his discretion under the National Banking Act. Chevron deference goes only so far.

Handcuffing your wife during an argument will get you fired if you are a police officer.
As the Green Bay Press Gazette reports, Thomas Benike, a police officer in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, has been fired by the Ashwaubenon Police and Fire Commission.
Officer Benike's troubles started when he got into a dispute with his soon-to-be ex-wife regarding the location of Officer Benike's wallet. Officer Benike could not locate find the wallet. When he couldn't locate the wallet, Officer Benike did something that I suspect 98% of married people do in similar circumstances: he blamed his spouse for taking or moving the wallet. The article is unclear on what evidence—other than the fact that the wallet was not where Officer Benike thought it should be—supported the conclusion that Mrs. Benike took or moved the wallet.
