His adult children are politically liberal according to an interview he did with the FT. (He supposedly was as well, from college until he registered as a Republican while defending Trump. Nothing like shedding your principles!)

Yeah I read it (Iโ€™ve kept my Google Alerts on for him and Jack Smith and Iโ€™m getting like 50 notifications a day on each of them recently!)

They got the names from the non-existent list Iโ€™m guessing ๐Ÿค”

The person arguing with me about Jack Smith in the WaPo comment section didnโ€™t reply after I provided the facts, but continued to make the same points to others. So I popped over to explain it all again ๐Ÿคญ

There are some judges who are actively describing the current landscape via Speak Up For Justice. The last webinar is linked below and is called โ€œJudges Break Their Silenceโ€. Some of what they said was covered by the media if youโ€™re not able to watch ๐Ÿ˜Š

Theyโ€™ve probably also made a calculation that theyโ€™ll do more good by hearing cases and rebuking the governmentโ€™s actions through detailed written opinions with clear citations showing how the law is being violated.

If they came out with a statement, Trumpโ€™s DOJ would immediately request that they recuse from pending cases and make an official complaint (as with Boasberg). Theyโ€™ve had a lifetime of keeping their counsel so as not to violate judicial ethics.

I suspect theyโ€™re staying silent for a myriad of reasons. Judges are receiving an unprecedented number of threats and their children are being doxxed. And theyโ€™ll be worrying that any comment could be seen as a bias against Trump and would affect cases theyโ€™re hearing.

Republicans Might Regret Putting Emil Bove on the Bench Even conservative judges might delay retirement rather than give Donald Trump more chances to appoint transparently partisan replacements.

Conservative federal judges are apparently postponing retirement to prevent the president from advancing patently unfit nominees like Bove.

I will keep going on and on about this because theyโ€™re trying to rewrite history to fit their twisted agenda.

When the case was remanded, the judge was trying to work out which acts described in the indictment represented immune conduct, which were unofficial acts taken in his personal capacity, and whether presumptive immunity could be pierced where it applied.

The immunity applies to official acts only. The court said that unofficial acts are not covered, and that presumptive immunity could be overcome for acts the president carries out that arenโ€™t an exercise of โ€œcore constitutional powersโ€

MANDATE of USCA as to DONALD
J. TRUMP re 179 Notice of Appeal - Interlocutory. In accordance with the Order filed on August 2, 2024, it is Ordered, on the court's own motion, that this case be remanded to the District Court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion.

Er, hello - the case was *literally sent back to her for further proceedings* because, contrary to MAGAโ€™s rewriting of history, Trump was not granted blanket immunity for everything he ever does while heโ€™s in the White House.

and people have forgotten that after the supreme court rendered a decision, Smith and a certain other judge, continued on in violation of that.

Some idiot in the WaPo comments is trying to claim that Judge Chutkan and Jack Smith continued on with the election interference case in violation of a Supreme Court ruling.

Hereโ€™s an article from NBC, which Iโ€™ll link because itโ€™s not the Daily Mail or the New York Post! Please see the quoted thread for details on what Cotton has claimed. Theyโ€™re not serious accusations, this is just a propaganda move for the base.

As Chief Justice Burger once wrote: โ€œPeople in an open society do not demand infallibility from their institutions, but it is difficult for them to accept what they are prohibited from observing.โ€

Itโ€™s called transparency, MAGA might struggle with that one right now though ๐Ÿ˜†

and b) Trump and his lawyers were lying about the Special Counselโ€™s motivations. Unsealing the documents allowed the public to see that it wasnโ€™t โ€œlawfareโ€, it was a legitimate investigation following hundreds of hours of evidence gathering.

It seems fairly obvious to anyone with a brain that Jack Smith requested the unsealing because a) there were valid legal reasons to do so - as proved by the judge permitting it (Cotton might want to Google โ€˜Hubbard factorsโ€™)

(which the judge granted because of the complexity of dealing with the issue. She detailed her reasons for allowing this in full, should Cotton wish to know what actually happened, and gave the defense an equal number of pages to respond),

Cotton is accusing Jack Smith of doing things that *Judge Chutkan* actually did! He claims that Jack set the trial date (the judge did), sped up motion practice (the judge gave the filing deadlines), submitted an oversized brief on presidential immunity

Itโ€™s the Daily Mail so Iโ€™m not linking it (the so-called stern warning was just a generic โ€œno one is above the lawโ€ statement in an email to Tom Cotton following his contact with the office demanding an investigation). Keep looking fools, you wonโ€™t find anything!

I still have my Google Alert on for Jack Smith. I will *not* be going on to the Fox page to read this BS. Suffice to say the Senator is Tom Cotton. He wants a DOJ investigation into whether Jack Smith โ€œinterferedโ€ with the 2024 election. Bitch, please.
