Shirley you aren't suggesting a majority of the current SCOTUS are just hypocritical hacks lacking an actual philosophical compass.

Hey, I just saw tfg has rallies scheduled for Wednesday, when Judge Merchan will supposedly hold a hearing on the Manhattan DA's third set of alleged gag order violations. Over under on Merchan moving his hearing to accommodate tfg? I know he has to be there for the criminal trial proceedings, but ...

The justsecurity.org piece linked above mentions Prosecutors in Michigan and Nevada have decided not to seek indictments of anyone at the national level and instead focused only on false electors in their states. Obviously that simplifies the cases and perhaps keeps it manageable rather than a spra...

Rondeau seems to have returned to her censoring ways at least for me. :rotflmao: Some jerk* as well. :crying: Perhaps it was this exchange : The truth will out one of these days, and that’s what the Deep State fears. There’s no evidence anybody fears this speculation. The evidence is the response f...

I assume there are constitutional and policy considerations at play. Not that judges believe they are immune, but feel constrained when they are the subject of a litigant's ire.

On this exceptional record, the punitive damages evidence passes constitutional muster. :kickface: It has been widely predicted the appellate court, citing due process concerns, will give the punitive damages a haircut. The district court made a nice record anticipating this and said, "Nope; t...

Interesting. I’m glad to see a conscientious application of the Rule (that hasn’t always been my experience). And before everyone starts wigging out, he’s going to remain in confinement until his retrial. Also, isn’t he facing charges in CA? Already convicted. I read an article saying New York in g...

Justice Amy Coney Barrett got Trump attorney to concede core allegations are private acts. That may be a Pyrrhic victory because the ruling could very well be: "There's no immunity for private acts. Because the indictment contains a mixture of private and official acts, the prosecutor must sub...

I assume Kirschner is being facetious, surely he knows that mere laws don't apply to tfg? I presume, if this happens, there will be an argument that contempt isn't a "crime" as contemplated by the pretrial release conditions, as there's no jury, no proof beyond a reasonable doubt, etc. Lo...

I.e., squealed like a rat bastard.

A state grand jury, made up of everyday, regular Arizonans, has handed down felony indictments in the ongoing investigation into the fake elector scheme in Arizona. Interesting phraseology. Although accurate (and mundane), the dead-enders insist the (ob. "usurping") AG is driving this &qu...

This is incomprehensible to me. How does appellate counsel challenge something on appeal if the arguments of counsel and the comments of the judge are not memorialized? If there's a chance to correct/augment the record, appellate counsel may be able to marshal a better "recollection" of w...

- A little light on his role as explainer of law, but thorough on What is Evidence? Judge often explain what the law is at the end, right before deliberations. I presume the concept is the jurors should be focused now on the facts (and deciding what they are), so they can later focus on applying th...

No evidence is evidence. :roll: And a negative is assumed true until it is disproved. :brickwallsmall: :winner: P&E comment : Commenter [some jerk*] claims that your humble servant’s recent offering falls short. He asserts “This article did not present any evidence showing that the seal was for...

Investigations are easier when you have governmental subpoena power and an army of staffers.

A failing company (controlled by someone known to stiff contractors)? Not so much.

P&E comments : There is also a letter from the President himself congratulating the hospital on the occasion of their 100 anniversary in which Obama called the hospital “the place of my birth”. I guess Kapi’olani is all in on your vast conspiracy by publishing his letter in their foundation maga...

It's not really about the eblidense in these arguments, is it? The birther or conspiracy theorist standpoint is that their wacko conjectures must be disproved to their satisfaction . Not disproved according to rational criteria, not according to expert consensus, not according to reality even, but ...

If the case had been better tried, the jury may not have nullified (if that’s what it was). Too also: The case was tried in the downtown courthouse, not the courthouse closest to the murder scene. While the downtown courthouse has superior security, a different courthouse may have resulted in a dif...

But when Arizona officials do it, then it is double san...

And a negative is assumed true until it is disproved. :brickwallsmall: Until that happens, as "DeMaio" notes, it "will remain the topic of Internet debate." Which is to say, "Duh." People peddling their lies on the internet has existed as long as the internet has exist...
