    That is actually pretty bizarre. I would guess that his team is restraining him to delay the eventual squandering of goodwill in which he will engage. But when have they ever succeeded in restraining him? Maybe the fucker is actually shook.

    It really is.

    It's not really unthinkable, Larry, if you thought she'd do it all along.

    I have never said it's not Calvinball. It's always been Calvinball, especially at the Supreme Court. It does have a few more rules than Calvinball. Appreciate the acknowledgement of good faith, though.

    Oh, it probably is her place to make that decision. Judicial review starts in the district courts, pretty much every time. The reasoning of her decision is fucked up though.

    The really fucked up thing about it is, the Appointments Clause is concerned with Separation of Powers, that is, the extent to which Congress can impose limits (or expand) the authority of the Executive to do things, such as appoint superior officers without the advise and consent of the Senate. That is what most of this litigation in the past has centered upon. But this regime of appointing special counsel has nothing whatsoever to do with Congress: it occurs entirely within the Executive branch. By regulation, the SC can only be removed for cause by the AG. But, presumably, given that the AG reports to the President, the AG could be ordered to remove the SC. She fucked the dog on this. BIg time bro. If SCOTUS followed her ruling, they would be taking power away from the Executive, which is something they're not particularly inclined to do. Unless it gives power to them, which this would not.

    Smith will appeal immediately to the 11th Circuit. I'm not sure there's any particular basis this time to expedite the appeal, as there was last time, as this order actually terminates the criminal case, so there's no underlying case to worry about. But I'm not sure how that works, tbh. There were several different arguments advanced that were subtly different. The one she seized upon is the one that has been rejected everywhere else, including in a very similar fashion by the Supreme Court itself in Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654 (1988); referenced with approval by this very Court in the CFPB case.

    Despite all the bitching, she has finally made a substantive ruling that is actually very likely wrong. This has not yet happened in the case. In the manifold ways in which she could have fucked the government on this and left Smith without remedy, without appeal, this is not it.

    Bwahaha. Not funny, but she's going to get cornholed by the 11th Circuit. I would not be at all surprised to see this reassigned to a different judge. The Supreme Court might take cert though.

    They're at brisket's house, by the spiral staircase.

    And, regarding any benefit he might obtain in terms of sympathy or something else, I am quite convinced that he will turn this into something ridiculous and hyperbolic that will alienate as many undecided voters as it attracts, if not more

    Even if Trump manages to stay "just this side of the line" in advocating violence, he is absolutely notorious for provoking explicitly violent rhetoric and action among his supporters. And he knows it. And he says jackshit about it, because he loves the fanatical devotion. Reap what you sow indeed.

    There's certainly no way Comer could keep his yap shut about investigating SS. So the first sentence is a lie. That guy put the grandstanding in "Congressional investigation."

    Was she? Or did she just play one on TV? I was thinking back on why I didn't like her much, and I think I conflated her with her characters. I don't remember, though.

    I mean, we've had actually good, decent men who were President assassinated while in office. And quite a few attempts on other Presidents. And a couple attempts on candidates, one of whom was pretty despicable. So, objectively, the idea that this would be one of the worst days in American history just doesn't add up. Unless you take into account the environment. An environment for which that candidate and former President is largely responsible..

    Probably doubly so for someone who had no real aspirations or training as an actor, let alone what appears to be some mental fragility.

    Never much cared for her, for some reason, but that's too young. RIP.

    I get that candidates and former potus don't get the full-court press that a sitting president might get. But there are only a relatively few buildings surrounding that site, with very open roofs. Failing to secure all of them seems quite negligent.

    Someone doesn't know the difference between fact and opinion.

    Baby soft, Charmin soft. I am sure he's quite conflicted about future public appearances and doing prison time. I'm here for it.
  21. TwiceHorn
    Geezly crow, you are fucking insane.
  22. TwiceHorn
    The way Trump will talk about this will not help him with anyone but his base. He's going to blow any sympathy bump he gets from this by being a narcissistic asshole. images.google.com

    Well, Speech and Debate is strong stuff and written-in, but I don't think it reaches that.
  24. TwiceHorn
    I think his depends are near overflow pretty much all the time, so this is a statement of general application.

    Those people are lying their asses off.
