Even the wackier poots generally hang their entire traveling argument on that exemption being very specifically applicable to non-commercial vehicles and situations.

That box-truck full of melons could have been for personal consumption.

i'm sure that's going to rustle up heretofore undecided voters in manhattan and DC. The Lincoln Project has used its outside voice in saying many of its ads aren't even aimed at voters, but intended to throw the targets off their game. A day brooding, lashing out, responding, etc., is a day they're...

To rephase: Republicans who intend to vote for the impeached president prefer Rice -- because she's an easier target.

Would this not invalidate ALL those other states which allow this practice? Technically, no, in that this case is only about Nevada's laws. But a win in the 9th would set off a chain of copycat lawsuits in other states in 9th's jurisdiction. And a win in SCOTUS would set off nationwide copycat laws...

He says he is in Perry Utah. That makes sense. Anyone entering Utah with a truck weighing more than 10k lbs. needs to stop at a weigh station. A rental box truck, laden with melons, likely weighs over 10k lbs. But rules are for little people. He also says that the Ninth upheld Judge Navarro's decis...

Just minutes ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ("Ninth Circuit") affirmed the dismissal by the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, of the indictment which the Obama Depar...

What is the likelihood this lawsuit will actually make it to SCOTUS? Fairly high, I think. Likely scenario: Plaintiffs will seek a preliminary injunction; it'll either be denied or not sufficiently robust, so plaintiffs ask the 9th for the same relief; ditto, so onto SCOTUS. Now the courts' respons...

Somewhere, Mike Zullo is crying into his corn flakes.

I don't think has has been darkening the SCOTUS door since 2018. He seems to be getting lazy.

True: Klayman's last SCOTUS efforts were in 2018: once for Bundy, once against Clinton, and once for himself against his ex-.

To be fair, I think his lawyers are told "Find some pretexts for bringing this suit, no matter how bogus!"

Concur: A fair amount of the complaint is just Republican propaganda, totally unrelated to Nevada's law. Its Klayman-like in substance, but better than Klayman in presentation.

Trump’s radical lawsuit against Nevada’s vote-by-mail law, explained It’s Bush v. Gore all over again. Well, that doesn't make me feel any better. Bush won. Yeah: Other pundits have said, if this case shot to SCOTUS' docket, it would be the liberal wing versus the conservative wing, with the Chief ...

Is Sec of Failure a Senate confrmed position?

No; just ask Vanessa Haydon.

Ammo got pulled over and had a fit. Unfortunately he was not arrested. https://twitter.com/scirreeve/status/1291422631472664576 Would I be correct in inferring that he was attempting to enter California? (Because it is illegal to bring fruits and vegetables into California.) Commenters speculated t...

It must cost a fair amount to apply to the Supreme Court. That will be the focus of their ongoing joint grift. "We're going all the way to the Supreme Court!" is pretty old hat for Klayman by now. It'll cost a few thousand. I'm surprised that anyone gives to either of them, yet they're still out th...

These were ("ironically") popular a decade or so ago.

You mean Arpaio could still win the nom?

Still possible, but he's not making up enough ground. The latest:

ARPAIO, JOE 136,419 36%
CRAWFORD, MIKE 97,250 26%
SHERIDAN, JERRY 136,960 37%

541 vote difference. (Sheridan's largest lead yet.)

I have read 85% of the opinion. I had to skip to the end to see if attorney's fees were awarded. I ain't telling. :fingerwag: After acknowledging the split of authority, the district court sides with those who have concluded that the federal rules preempt California's anti-SLAPP motion. So dennied.

My state has an online track-your-mail-in-ballot feature. You enter a bunch of PII (to prove you are you), and then it tells you the status of your ballot, e.g., received, processing, accepted/rejected. So absent widescale hacking or clerk incompetence, you'll know when your mail-in ballot was count...

The county already has processed and reported about 758,000 bal...
