Their appointments were also unlawful. Stay tuned.

If you want to guess who else was unlawfully appointed ... you would guess right.

Let me tell you, this is the tip of the iceberg concerning the amount of Appointments Clause violations going on now.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Let me tell you, this is the tip of the iceberg concerning the amount of Appointments Clause violations going on now.

I love your shirt. The transfer looks good. I need to find a brand that holds up. Has it been through many washes yet?

Trump’s War Insurance Decree Follows Predictable Pattern Legal and accountability questions keep accumulating because Trump’s governing style relies on answering them after the fact.

Trump's promise to have the feds underwrite war insurance for shipping in the Strait is typical of his corporatist economic initiatives, especially regarding the practice of announcing the thing first and figuring out later whether it's legal [Tad DeHaven, Cato]

Aid and comfort, too.

Good point. I think some organizations are already built and populated and have been for centuries. They just need better moral leadership. It starts with members pressing the issue about fundamental values. That's why CBS censored Talarico's Colbert interview. It is a vulnerability.

A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.

And, the story of the mystery man.

He is also unlawfully appointed.

The "good" billionaires are incompetent at the "good" part since they are still holding billions. How hard is it to pay a handful of smart, trustworthy people to donate ones extreme excess? You could even hire a person to hire those people.

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

Barrett and Gorsuch Try, Fail to Offer Coherent Defenses of the Major Questions Doctrine The conservative justices are looking for any theory of the major questions doctrine other than the very obvious one.

Amy Coney Barrett & Neil Gorsuch did their damndest to defend the "major questions doctrine" in their tariffs concurrences

but even their justifications prove it's just a bullshit idea made up by Supreme Court justices and used in shitty ways for shitty reasons

When you are guaranteed to have the jury stacked with your friends and political dependants, nothing is impeachable (removable).

If both the bribes and the threats are pushing the judges on one side, what do we have on our side? The facts and the law and what's left of the judges' individual peronal integrity and morality, I guess.

I wish that was a fair fight.

The cost of MAGA face will soar? Maybe they'll care.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Adter seeing "Sinners" I had to kick myself for not giving Wallace a twin brother.

Very proud to watch his journey.

Fuck cancer.

So if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will skyrocket. That will please: MBS (keeps Saudi oil pricey), Putin (oil revenues are financing the war on Ukraine), and Trump, whose Venezuelan oil is looking pretty special now. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Especially true for someone disqualified from being president. IYKYK.

The Venezuela plan to pocket the oil money himself?

LOL. You made me check to see if they spelled it like that on the banner. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised.
