Ben Franklin's World. 400+ episodes of academics talking about their sub specialty within the broad scope of Early American history.

The entire parade seems like a disaster, and it's unclear to me why trans pride got reduced to a half block offshoot.

I've been trying to talk to them about the wreck carceral feminists have done to DV for a decade, and boy, do they love cops more than actually smashing the patriarchy

The last ten years? Do people not remember OWS? The Battle of a Seattle?

I think I may be on a block list they are using because I can't find the account to nuclear block.

Fbi agent: this is an acceptable cost
Me: no it's not for the following reasons
You: your points are good but you should raise them elsewhere and also you should go away from your own mentions
comment in response to
post
If I make good points then they aren't irrelevant to the post. My point was that this was not an acceptable cost because of those questions. And you are in my mentions telling me to go away.

Go back and answer a single question I raised.

No, I'm just an experienced criminal defense attorney with a realistic outlook on the implications of fraudulent criminal charges.
comment in response to
post
Do you not understand the implications of the DOJ falsely charging people? Do you think it stops here? What about the hundreds of other people trapped? Do you really think Trump brought him back to have a fair trial?
comment in response to
post
I get that you seem to think fraudulently criminal charges in a corrupt court system run by the man who caused all of this is a win. I'm telling you that it isn't and that listening to former Feds whose behavior led us to this moment is part of the problem.

Why would Trump bring him back this way if he thought it was a step closer to escape? What about the hundreds of other people he sent? My point is that this isn't an escape, accepting the use of fraudulent criminal charges is extremely dangerous, and does nothing to stop this from happening again.

Yes and as I said earlier, if the Marshals disobey a court order then there is also zero hope Garcia can received due process. Why don't the courts issue the order and try?

What other special circumstances warrant lying under oath? Where is that in the Rules of Professional Conduct?

Why is jailing DOJ lawyers not an option for you? Why is that not reality?
comment in response to
post
What about the hundreds of other people? And again, we can put the DOJ lawyers who have lied/obfuscated in contempt and jail them until the government fulfills the court orders. We haven't even tried that! Instead everyone is applauding fake criminal charges like that won't be used against others
comment in response to
post
That isn't the point. The point is that criminal charges weren't the only option and it implies far far worse things to come if this works.
comment in response to
post
The same DOJ that's prosecuting him now? In front of the same courts they defied? Again, have we tried to actually hold the lawyers in contempt? What have the courts done in the face of this open defiance besides give them chance after chance after chance?
comment in response to
post
Why in the world do you think this is a viable method either? So he sits in federal prison instead and that's a win? What about the hundreds of other people sent there?
comment in response to
post
You think the only way to back out was federal criminal charges? He could have made literally any reason up and Maga would believe him. He's doing this to shove it in the court's face that he could have gotten him back any time and didn't. And the court will continue to do nothing.
comment in response to

If Trump was actually pushed in any real way to actually bring him back besides SCOTUS saying "please try just a little tiny bit" maybe he wouldn't feel comfortable faking criminal charges that will absolutely end up before that same court.

How else will he compete with the terfs?

What do you know that this guy didn't
comment in response to

If we are at the point where the US Marshals can't take a lawyer into custody then we can't trust those same courts to give due process to the man they are in contempt over. Again, would you sign your name to an indictment you knew contained falsehoods?

Peak cop/prosecutor brain is being fine with bullshit charges because they know the defense attorney will clean up their mess.
comment in response to
post
Are there other methods? Yes, here are other methods. No, you have to find identical circumstances. You sound like an appeals court stopping cops from being held accountable for civil rights abuses.Just admit you are comfortable with the administration faking charges, as if it will only happen once
comment in response to
post
The question was whether other methods existed. That this was the "only" way he could have saved face. I could have named a prisoner swap from the first trump administration and made the same point.
comment in response to
post
What would you ask a judge to do if a defendant violated a court order? Is the administration not in contempt? Doesn't the civil comtemptor hold the key to the jail cell? But no, the DOJ has been given so much difference for so many decades we can't even imagine it.

Trump could have returned him whenever he wanted. He's actively been choosing not to. Instead he said "fine, you wanted him back, watch what I'll do"
