This exactly. In real time, it looked like maybe a well-thought strategy to avoid war, saber-rattling etc. But then,one day, um wait we are actually invading Iraq now?

They drew Judge Breyer. Interesting.

The obvious defense here is probable cause, given the indictments. This is a slam dunk. Only question is whether the US defends it.

No. They should apologize every September for the prior 3-month summer school closure. Terrible consequences were obviously foreseeable.

Also the Social Security office mailed me a physical social security card through regular mail which is, itself, a serious security risk. Can’t DMV just check it on their system.

This was maddening. The press loved the supposed symbolism but in reality the World Trade Center was a giant office building with a shopping mall and restaurant filled with regular people.

Seems pretty obvious that they are putting Holman out in front of cameras deliberately to behave thuggishly. I mean the guy can barely form a sentence. There’s no point in asking him questions.

A lot of non-officials feeling comfortable making false and defamatory statements. I have a feeling they erroneously think they’re immune from civil liability.

Maximum humiliation. I remember this from Trumps first term.

Seriously. They just can’t quit taking cases.

A lot of defiant bravado for a few weeks, followed by full pardons.

The opinion that follows is something. This is probable cause for *criminal* contempt - which raises other issues of enforcement. Judge is forcing the issue it seems.

It’s a pretty useful writing for their defense lawyers should it come to that.

I don’t think there’s any question. Nothing you can do about it without SEC/DOJ enforcement. But if you assume this happening, best not to panic sell, and buy the dips if you can stomach it.

Funny that Lutnick chose to found a financial services company and not an appliance manufacturer.

Radical leftists there like Mark Pomerantz.

Literal comic villain. She even has the requisite alliterative name. Leona Helmsley looks. Genuinely hard to believe this/she is real.

Unfortunately. A good judge, definitionally, is thoughtful, cautious and small c conservative. This fight in fact requires a bad judge, who will take risks. Unfortunately those bad judges, almost definitionally, are right wing authoritarian types or idiots like Aileen Cannon

Yeah watching MSNBC commenters and they seem quite satisfied with the DOJ’s filing and that it resolves the issue. I read it and it seemed like more F- yous to the judge.

Roberts commenting on impeachment- an area not within Article III powers. This is the analogue of Trump commenting on court decisions

Even if you took a large hammer and completely destroyed a Tesla and then set it on fire and then murdered the driver, you still have not committed a federal crime or violated federal law.

Another word for “government propping up the markets” is government.

Honestly. It’s amazing that they ever managed to pass Section 230 with idiots like this in congress. It’s a legitimately smart law.

This does not bode well for upcoming important votes such as budget and debt ceiling. The democrats obviously can’t hold the line.
