Same shit different name, but it's the same problem.

 

Unless we're just off the rails on day one, an executive order doesn't overrule the law 

Well, treaties themselves are the province of the executive, but trade treaties generally require legislation to fully enable them.

I'm going to assume that these tariffs violate the treaty, which will invoke dispute resolution mechanisms in the treaty and if Canada and Mexico win (it's gonna take a while) the tariffs will be gone.  Then Trump can withdraw from the treaty and not shit the rest of government can do about it.

Can't wait for avocados to cost $10 each.  I mean, 90% of them consumed in the US comes from there.

I'm sure plenty of people will be accepting of an avocado "tax" their favorite restaurant starts charging as well.

First they came for the avocados, but I don't like avocados, so I said nothing....

guacamole is already very very over priced in restaurants 

they used to be 10/$1 until white people found out how great they were 

same thing happened with fajitas

What I want to see is when the Surly Law Dogs face the Leopard?

Those reassuring "wheels of justice move slowly" takes they offered were laughable.

Dude, those "takes" are factual.  For good reasons and bad, the wheels of justice move slowly.

It's not some opinion.  And it certainly wasn't offered in defense of Trump.

Yeah, not sure where he was going with that. Courts move slowly on purpose. We may occasionally root for a one-off Ready, Fire, Aim approach, but it’s antithetical to a free system. 

But a free system depends on folks not voting to ditch the system.

They do. Getting a run of the mill state felony to trial in 10-12 months takes effort. One of my cases headed to trial passed the year mark in August, when the state realized they missed a crucial step. That one’s somewhat straightforward. Federal prosecutions against public figures are 10x as complex.

I’m sure the 10% from California won’t adjust their prices up to match.  Farmers and agricorps would never take advantage of something like that.

Partially yes.

The single most regrettable thing is that it's a pay-to-play system where those who can pay play longer than those who can't.  That one, I don't really know how to fix, in a rational way.

She did say "on purpose."  Sure some laziness on the part of judges and prosecutors plays a role along with defense attorneys and "delay favors the defense."  But hardly any of it is on purpose other than defendants usually want to delay things.

But mostly, the system is overstressed.  It's not overstressed if plea bargains are an acceptable outcome at the rate they occur, but it is if we think more jury trials should occur.

Look on the bright side. Through energy policy, this new administration will move the date by which you can grow avocados locally in Western WA up by a significant margin.
