14th Amendment Trial - Removing Trump from CO Ballot
Back in 2008, a naturalized US citizen named Abdul Karim Hassan ran for president. One of the states where he tried to get on the ballot was Colorado. He was refused because, they said, he was not eligible to serve as president under the Constitution. Hassan appealed the decision, eventually reachin...

The dregs of birther remainders.
Corsi was arrested and subsequently deported because, IIRC, he was doing work there (plugging his book, The Obama Nation ), without a work permit. That was in October, 2008. Wow Doc C, that's epic! It's incredible how dense and deluded that guy still is. Fogbow Star for you. Of all of it, this is on...

The dregs of birther remainders.
Remember Leonard Daneman, the Paralegal NM guy? His blog is still around, and for some insane reason I made a reply on one of his 2016 posts, Dr. Orly Taitz Vindicated, and he came out swinging with a birther firehose.

Book: The Breach: The Untold Story of the Investigation into January 6th
I'm starting on a book, The Breach: The Untold Story of the Investigation into January 6th .

Trump 14th Amendment [Lack of] Eligibility Cases
The political question doctrine applies to the situation where the Constitution assigns a power to one branch of government (like impeachment). It has been a longstanding practice in the US that presidential eligibility is enforced (to the extent that it is) at the state level. It's never been the s...

Trump 14th Amendment [Lack of] Eligibility Cases
I would just point out that Donald Trump claims to have been elected president in 2020. According to the 22nd Amendment, no one may be "elected" president more than twice. Therefore, in order to run in 2024, he should be required to sign an affidavit declaring that he was not elected presi...

The pundits on MSNBC seem to think that Trump's 14th Amendment eligibility will be resolved by the U.

Standing will be a big problem in some states (as it has already been i...

I expect this to be a disaster. Having it extrapolate correctly in situations it hasn't been trained in will work as well as it does with human drivers: not very. I would describe 6 million traffic accidents annually in the US plus 40,000 deaths (1.6 million deaths worldwide) to be a disaster. I se...

We are currently driving a ‘22 X and a ‘22 S.

This was really annoying because visibility was just fine. That is my only co...
