Of course trump has now flipped and wants republicans in the house to vote to release the files.
Because he knows Blondi will not release them because of a newly opened "investigation" that will NEVER end.
You canβt make San Francisco up: βNeighborhood preservationists who are organized enough to have a website called savetheshack.net are demanding that the shacks be reassembled using as much of the historic debris that was left on-site in the demolition as possible.β

Legacy media folks were angry to be ignored for better voices and furious to hear what people thought of them on social media. Bosses were upset that a good labor market let employees leave their failure workplaces. Small town Whites were angry to see immigrants do better than them by working hard.

Lopez, the Supreme Court "identified three broad categories of activity that Congress may regulate under its commerce power. "14 "First, Congress may regulate the use of the channels of interstate commerce. Second, Congress is empowered to regulate and protect the instrumentalities of interstate commerce, or persons or things in interstate commerce, even though the threat may come from intrastate activities. Finally, Congress' commerce authority includes the power to regulate those activities having a substantial relation to interstate commerce, i.e., those activities that substantially affect interstate commerce." 15
Judge Willett, with Judge Duncan, says that he thinks 922(g)(1) β the bar on gun possession by felons β may not be authorized by the commerce clause. This is foreclosed by circuit precedent, so this is a concurrence.
