Also should probably note that INS v. Chadha resulted in the revocation of a deportation order.] Because you love to criticize the Supreme Court over outcomes rather than analysis, Chadha should find favor with you. The irony of criticizing SCOTUS as political is that it is almost always by those who view its decisions entirely through a political lens.

One of those ol experts, Ay-leet, I'm telling you. Trump and I know better.

Not sure I can really quibble with that. The scheme is pretty explicit that Congress legislates, President signs or vetos. Congress can override. Trying to change that is a copout by Congress and violates separation of powers. But yeah.

Here's something that well and truly pisses me off about American government, specifically Congress. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/are-tariffs-an-emergency-power Congress delegated its power to tariff to the executive in several ways, one of them in an economic emergency. And it is this provision on which Trump mostly relies. But they retained a legislative veto, meaning they could revoke the power by joint resolution. Yet a legislative veto was ruled unconstitutional in 1983. And Congress did jackshit to revoke the power. Lazy cowards.

Well, it was previously done by Fluor Federal Petroleum Services for a tad less money. I suppose Fluor is as guilty of being a grifter as any big business, but you kind of tend to think they know what they're doing. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/04/the-strategic-petroleum-reserve I think that SPP mentioned in that article is a self-storage outfit that is unrelated. I see there is an SSP LLC formed in Delaware in June 2023 that is a more likely candidate, but not seeing any member/director information.

Uncle Xi, more likely.

The reason they are racist is their origins. Here's an article from notorious liberal rag UChi law review explaining the racist origins of federal marijuana laws. https://lawreview.uchicago.edu/online-archive/unconstitutional-racial-animus-behind-federal-marijuana-criminalization On occasion, something with racist origin can also coincide with decent policy. But the continued disparate impact of MJ laws on browns and poors, shows that the racist intention was effective. And no one seems to think MJ laws are decent policy, except those who are a little racist.

And, I would disagree that he has explicitly stated this is about bargaining. His, ] reasoning, as usual, is a muddle. This time it's a muddle of raise revenue (to cut taxes), return manufacturing to US, and punish our trading partners for selling us too much crap while not buying enough of ours. One thing I disagree with from the anti-Trump factions is that the manufacturing jobs are not ones we want. Yes, a lot of them are not and I have said as much, but a good number of them are. But that's not happening on anyone's reasonable timeframe; and, I agree that to effectively accomplish that, other investments and incentives will need to be provided ala the CHIPs Act. Most of Asia outside of China doesn't have any jobs we want back, so tariffing them makes little sense.

Real stuff? Never seen the lyrics to that or really even much listened to it.. Very aggy.

17 year old stabbed to death by another 17 year old at Frisco track meet
TwiceHorn replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
The story was a falsehood with an overtly racist message by an overtly political and racist twitter account. Post 2 in the thread pointed out the falsity of it. If you can ignore that, then you better check yourself, and your media sources. -
Was kind of digging around on Beard and apparently he was mentored by a friend of mine in undergrad, George Tuttle. I also learned that George died in 2019. Interesting story, Tuttle was an honors engineering major from Norman, where his father was a professor of architecture and forbid him from going to OU. Solid IM hooper and good athlete. After a couple of years, he started going to school at St. Eds and playing basketball there, while apparently also enrolled in UT. Got sidetracked from engineering and decided he wanted to be a basketball coach. He did graduate from UT after 7 years. I believe he was a GA under Penders and had a relationship with Vic Trilli, who also was an influence on Beard. He apparently stayed employed as a basketball coach as an assistant at various schools for the rest of his life. RIP George. /csb for anyone else who might have known Tuttle.

But Biden looked at his watch!

Interesting article on justsecurity indicating that the quality of advocacy of Trump's DOJ is below normal standard. https://www.justsecurity.org/109967/supreme-court-alien-enemies-act/ I kind of expected that, the bigger question is whether it will make any difference.

Who's that cooze with the cross hanging out?

Further to this point, as you go higher up the social/financial ladder, the concern with taxes is probably replaced by "regulation." For example, the objection to the "administrative state" is a false flag for objection to regulation. So, in my mind, I was kind of attaching a broader meaning to "taxes" than my text would indicate.
