Utter hogwash.

Oh. You don’t say. Five years ago we were warned about Covid-19. And Trump, the non-President ignored the info. Got it.

I’ve never seen this assertion shown to be accurate. Do you have a link to something that backs up your claim? I’ve looked. There’s only an un-attributed ABC news story. Do you have anything else?

Wall's summary is using Gleeson's brief against Sullivan to argue why mandamus now IS a timely request -- and why this case shouldn't go to argument on July 16. HaHa, that was a puffball question at the end there.

Normally, I'd agree. However, in this case, Sullivan instructed Gleeson to argue as if he were the DOJ.

She's latched on to her only good argument -- that this motion for Mandamus is not timely. I think Sullivan's attorney is misrepresenting the reason why Sullivan appointed the Amicus. Sullivan's order said (if I remember) that the Amicus was supposed to take the position of the government because in this case there's nobody taking that position. That IS adversarial. She's arguing that the Amicus isn't adversarial.

No, he's using this hypothetical as an example of a "bad" motive by the DOJ to pull the case. It is akin to the accusation in this case that the President brought pressure on the DOJ to dismiss. I think he's playing devil's advocate.

Is the Court saying that the Government should disclose ALL reasons for wanting to dismiss? Is it the Court's job to "rank" reasons if there's more than one? Wouldn't a "good" reason to dismiss be just as important as a "bad" reason?

"There's nothing 'magical' about the 'plea line'" -- DOJ argues. Says Fokker doesn't prohibit this stance.

You know what I love about this post? It is the fact that they finally posted a photo of Mueller wearing something other than that ***** blue tie.

I think one neighborhood should defend their adjacent neighborhood, and on and on. It would prevent communities from becoming too insular. Since there’s no other thread, I figure I’d just put this here.

If Trump was a far right authoritarian characterized by dictatorial power and evidenced by the forcible suppression of opposition, he would have ignored the Governor of NY and the Mayor of NYC and put troops in the streets of the City over their objections. But he didn't. Hmmmmm . If Trump wanted strong regimentation of society, I guess he would have ADDED to the regulations Obama left on the books, instead of repealing thousands of them. Hmmmmmm. If Trump were such an ultranationalist, I don't think he would ever have offered Dreamers a path to citizenship while trying to negotiate funding for the wall. Hmmmmmmm. And that pesky left leaning press that he's allowed to flourish. Hmmmmmmmm. And that pesky Russiagate investigation that went on for two years without interference from him and harassed his legitimacy. Hmmmmmmmm. I'm no Trump fan, but this thread is ridiculous. Worst. fascist. ever.

Can't there be a far-LEFT fascist?

Yes. Yes it is.

Many people have abdicated reason and objectivity and replaced it with hate in their heart for the current President. That's no way to go through life.

I'm in favor of Creative destruction in this case. I don't know whether "defund" is an accurate way of putting it, because from what I have read, it sounds like they're talking about restructuring. A total police budget wouldn't be eliminated, and "policing" wouldn't go away. I honestly think they should use the slogan "repeal and replace".

This team needs an infusion of players. First and foremost a very good goaltender not named Ullmark or Hutton. There are no free agent goalies available who fit the bill and we've got no trade capital. There are three forwards under contract. That's the ugly part. There's really been no history with this current GM which would lead me to believe that he's capable of signing helpful free agents at any cost. He will have to overpay just to make his offer competitive in a free agent's mind. Honestly, the way things look now, this team is in line for a couple more years of bottom dwelling absolute misery.

This question comes from someone who’s not a Trump fan: how exactly is Trump a fascist and what actual policies has he put in place to further that goal? Thats a pretty heavy charge you leveled. You ought to explain a lot more.

Here’s the current status of the roster. Looks ugly to me. Seriously ugly. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/sabres

I actually do this every year with the local elections. Usually candidates are endorsed by multiple parties, so when I see that, I don't vote on the "D" or the "R" line, figuring that the more they tally for other parties, the more clout those parties might eventually get. My infinitesimally small contribution. in 2016, I watched the Libertarian Presidential debate. That clownshow put me off, so they didn't get my third party vote.

Not sure I understand.
