03.12.2025 16:43 β π 12 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0100% the lawyers said "you can't do that," and 100% the deciders (including) POTUS said "who cares, there are no consequences."
And that is 100% the fault of SCOTUS and its wretched unitarism, fully immunized.
I just assumed that the people making the decision to save them weren't the same people deciding to release them - or that, if they were the same people, they realized that they were going to be facing a justiciable claim of non-combatant status
02.12.2025 03:04 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The answer to this question, BTW, is that if they continued to be detainees they could file habeas petitions - & habeas proceedings would result in a determination as to their combatant status. An adverse combatant status determination in a habeas case would wipe out the legal pretext for lethality.

30.11.2025 23:38 β π 16 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0FWIW I have a kid in this age range and whatever you might say about them this does not describe the modal third grader.
30.11.2025 05:43 β π 11 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I mean it's just bizarre to ague that you can't work through Durbin and Schumer but that you should instead pin hopes on Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, ACB, and Roberts.
Also, candidly, extradition or state prosecutions or civil liability don't have to work through D congressional leaders.
Show Comrades Jack and Ed some goddam respect.
29.11.2025 15:10 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Look, there are real ways to try to impose consequences on unlawful behavior - extadition, state prosecutions, civil liability. But if people want to ignore those things and vote for the tooth fairy, sure, I guess thatβs thinking outside the box.

29.11.2025 02:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1You would have to get courts to agree on this and you would lose 9-0 at scotus. 10-0 even.
28.11.2025 23:59 β π 14 π 2 π¬ 2 π 1no they should have gone for 2, and i don't think it's a close call.
28.11.2025 22:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0there is a reason why every single team, with tens of millions of dollars riding on this decision, kicks in that situation.
28.11.2025 22:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0you don't know whether you need one possession or two because you don't know the outcome of the 2-point try. game it out.
go for it: get it, know whether you need need 1 possession or need to
kick it: don't know whether you need 1 possession or 2 b/c you have to wait until next score to find out.
It's really unbelievable to watch the Announcers both go on and on about "newfangled analytics" and question whether you go for two there when OBVIOUSLY YOU GO FOR 2 b/c that's the only way you know whether you will need 2 or 3 possessions to win.

27.11.2025 19:48 β π 16 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Big Moderate is like "OMG bluesky is such an echo chamber and breeding ground for naive leftist agenda"
MEANWHILE the reality is that bluesky is like 98% people being like "maybe wannabe soldiers gassing people walking their dogs in pajamas is fucked up"
Not surprising. My general understanding is that this wonβt be time-barred upon an expeditious re-filing. But that is based on my read of people I trust and not on my own knowledge of relation-back rules here.
