2020 Georgia Code :: Title 23 - Equity :: Chapter 3 - Equitable Remedies and Proceedings Generally :: Article 3 - Quia Timet :: Part 2 - Quia Timet Against All the World Justia Free Databases of U.S. Laws, Codes & Statutes

I like the quiet title action in GA called “Quia Timet Against All the World.” law.justia.com/codes/georgi...

I think Obergefell will be overturned with some equitable reasons for not making it retroactive.

I can only see the SC keeping it if 4 votes do not want to overturn it and then it’s quietly kept with denial of cert. If 4 exist to overturn, I don’t think the will exists for 5-4 decision keeping it.

In some sort of theoretical normal post-Jan-2029 world, the Trump Foundation should ideally see some huge IRS issues.

I’m very, very confident even this court won’t deny an increase in SC size by ruling.

The hypothetical is like other hypotheticals allowed by space and time. But both passing court packing and 5-6 of current justices writing no is extremely unlikely compared to, say, Trump disobeying court orders.

Yeah, but that would be up to the newly signed in Senators and Representatives, with their blocks, to agree and not lie beforehand.

It’s all theoretical. I think either a 200 judge court or Pack the Union would require more public animosity than currently exists.

The idea in a student paper wasn’t to keep it as a 250 state regime but to quickly pass an amendment rewriting the US constitution as proportionate, amendable, etc.

IIRC, I don’t think the paper addressed the DC block-states saying “ha ha, we rule now suckers.”

I mean, maybe it’s fine in theory to have an exponentially compounding Supreme Court size. But also in theory, we could just rewrite the whole damn thing with 200+ DC states.

Then the response from Democrats to a 23 person Supreme Court would be around a 40 person Supreme Court.

The SC granted class-wide emergency habeas in the middle of the night where 5th circuit did not. Sticking one’s neck out for the middle 3 is rough, but there is a difference.

I’ve supported court packing when I’ve been angry at the SC, but I don’t see the great way around 10+ Judge Hos and Boves then being added by GOP.

Or if everything constitutional is on the table in next trifecta, do the 200+ DC state plan to rewrite the creaky constitution.

Why would this be any different? Judges wouldn’t be around long before their clock runs out. They filled all the executive branch positions they wanted. Maybe only the crazy US Attorneys would benefit from recess appointments, if Acting shenanigans are not blessed.

If nothing else, I don’t get how the “all pain” economic model doesn’t backfire electorally. Not just ACA subsidies, but also Part D premiums will go up substantially.

Article III is, in particular, badly worded. Judges simultaneously given too much (lifetime appt) while in theory too little (jurisdiction stripping, court packing, maybe removing courts like midnight judges).

In some sane politics, some amendment would be negotiated.

A majority of the House for impeachment. A GOP majority in the Senate can scuttle a trial, but a Democratic majority will get the contempt in the open with a trial.

The fact that Prop 13 basis is inherited (up to a discount of “only” $1 million IIRC) is insane. Landed Gentry.

This is on top of no tax on the gains in the house if inherited and estate less than $15 mil/$30 mil.

Is lack of access to counsel new?

I have had a thought that MAHA is similar to Dave Ramsey for finances and how the harshness justifies regressive financial policies.

The personal responsibility angle is slightly different from a pure Nazi culling. That gives it more staying power.

There are reasons that we won’t have the doomer scenario of not making it to Nov 2028/Jan 2029 with a relatively regular election. But this story and the Vermont school admin make me question it.

My belief is the files were edited around BOP’s screw ups after the suicide.

A premeditated murder conspiracy involving high turnover BOP guards, based on things and contacts outside the jail…well, I don’t believe that.

Oh yeah, the terms quoted in the opinion with “100%” make it impossible to “win,” at least if taken as a layperson. Nothing is literally 100% certain.

It’s like if the contract said “prove car is red” and the arbitrators said “all red cars are Mustangs.”

I don’t know, there were other cases cited where arbitrators acted outside of the contract. I don’t know how much “arguable” means any arbitration decision whatsoever.

From a software engineer’s perspective, the arbitration decision is in fact utterly mystifying. Lindell is a bad person, but I can think of large amounts of data related to an election that are not Internet packets.

I’ve got a different response: the general ideas of fraud, such as phishing or wire transfer fraud, wrongly put the onus on the less powerful (with some caveats).

Non-KYC crypto can be made illegal. Wire/ACH/Zelle can confirm payee, as UK has done. Non-phishable logins are available.

Do I didn’t know or just forgot Bill Barr said the SDNY prosecutor, appointed by judges, “stepped down” and then Berman said “no I didn’t.” Barr accused Berman of creating a “public spectacle” and when Berman said he resigned (because Barr appointed his deputy), Barr still falsely said he was fired.

If any homes or businesses are inherited, up to $15M/$30M of gains are totally tax-free.

Also BBB extended maybe the second worst provision of the tax code, 199A. You pay lower tax rates as long as you’re a rentier and don’t work for the income.

The worst (besides gaming of gift valuations) is the sky-high estate/gift exclusion.

Erm, meant that to be in reply to the “telephone system” post.

I’m also thinking about the prosecution declinations on Purdue and subprime MBS prospectuses. It’s almost odd now how post-Enron prosecutions happened. I guess losses becoming widespread enough actually has things happen.

On these, the big thing is non-KYCed digital bearer instruments. Obviously crypto/stable coins but also gift cards with digital codes.

The sheer size of the wires in the SARs according to Wyden changed my mind. I kind of think Glonzo exists in some form now.

If it happens, I think renumbering or clearly doctoring the files will be badly done and leaked about.
