Does the 6th Amend literally require a defendant to “see” the accuser or witness in order to “face” them? Or simply be able to know the ID, to confront & cross examine the witness about the evidence testified to? Espec in cases with unequal levels of legal maturity? How about a blind defendant?

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

AI Meets Aggressive Accounting at Meta’s Gigantic New Data Center Favorable treatment off the balance sheet hinges on some convenient assumptions.

PS: what official duties were Kash and Kristi performing last night in LV at the F1 race? How did they get there? And who went with them? And who paid?

Al Haig is hardly the exemplar of cool calm and considered. Jim Baker seems the better choice for CoS.

“America First” is a well used, misinterpreted and incomplete misquote of the original:

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Why did he change his mind? What’s his next step?

It’s been an extremely tough schedule as well. The five teams they have lost to have a total of 15 losses between them with another only two loss team, the Colts, coming up next week.

…and he seems to be projecting from his own inner child self just a bit.

No…no…no. You need to formally visit and ask the permission of the parents, ideally the father, first. 🤔🙄😜

What’s missing?

He needs to put some skin in the game and resign his NYT position if that is what he wants to be.

A Charlotte man was stopped twice by ICE. The first group checked his ID and let him go. Minutes later, another set of agents rolled up, smashed his window, dragged him out, and assaulted him
