  1. Hyperbole, much? Ojo is right that immunity for exercise of Article II powers was inevitable. And some going beyond that, as well, given that the President has been given powers not explicitly set out in Article II in other contexts. I think the decision went way too far, particularly in regard to use of evidence, but the central core of it I think any court would have found.
  2. Well, do remember that SCOTUS basically just tells lower courts what to do by affirming, reversing or modifying. It's up to the lower courts to enforce their own orders as modified by SCOTUS. For example, in Brown II, the remedy phase of Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, KS, all cases were reversed and remanded with instructions to the district court to retain jurisdiction over local school districts and authorities "to take such proceedings and enter such orders and decrees consistent with this opinion as are necessary and proper to admit to public schools on a racially nondiscriminatory basis with all deliberate speed the parties to these cases." That was, however, in the days of three-judge district court panels on constitutional questions, so there typically was no intermediate court of appeals to fuck everything up (e.g. 5th Circuit).
  3. Abdullah Hammond? Is that kind of like Federico Klein? Shlomo Carter? Bah, shit, misread it.
  4. Cooze is the preferred nomenclature.
  5. Well, first we have to have SCOTUS rule that these things violate separation of powers, which is not a sure thing. But, I do rather doubt that SCOTUS will tolerate flaunting of its rulings, or even those of the lower courts. That strikes directly at the power of the judiciary. They've been happy to aggrandize the executive at the expense of the legislative, and to a certain extent, their power. But this is direct.
  6. Total kleptocracy.
  7. Don't cottonmouths start out rather bright and mature into that sort of murdered out color?
  8. Pure blood = lil incesty intermarriage = haemophilia.
  9. Station less so. The Spaniards were fairly indifferent to the class ramifications of intermarriage with natives and overall less likely to discriminate than other Europeans. Cf. https://read.dukeupress.edu/hahr/article/64/3/477/148768/Calidad-Clase-and-Marriage-in-Colonial-Mexico-The That may have had something to do with the Moorish invasion and occupation. But, it only makes sense that indigenous people "conquered" by European whites would begin to associate worth with whiteness, even when whitey didn't enforce that to a great degree.
  10. Yes, but he did start at UT at 16, which is not something I was aware of until yesterday.
  11. The chuds have completely conflated DEI with affirmative action. Sure, they're related, but DEI shouldn't be considered anything but benign, really.
  12. Of course it isn't, nor was my post intended to detract from the fastest player in the NFL. Just an historical observation about Longhorns in the NFL. Seems like most of our offensive players have landed in backwaters to one degree or another.
  13. Bobby Layne rushed for a TD in the 1952 NFL Championship and threw one in 1953.
  14. And I think this is where digital rears its head. In analog days, most recording engineers wouldn't have dreamed of doing this because "leveling up" would have required analog amplification by tube or transistor, which would in addition to the squashed sound, would introduce yet another layer of non-linearity and other distortion. Nowadays, that can be done without such traditional amplification and the associated distortion. But that doesn't mean it doesn't sound like shit. And, digital signal processing is not without audible penalty, entirely, but it's not measured in terms like "THD," usually. I think digital signal processing enables a lot of things that you "can" do, but probably "shouldn't" do most of the time.
  15. None of that should be Treasury's, or DOGE's responsibility. They don't approve the checks, they just cut them, so to speak.
  16. Well, inevitable in this Trump-provoked constitutional crisis. That's what this is. TROs are not ordinarily appealable, but only last two weeks and tend to be replaced by a preliminary injunction (or denial of same), which is appealable.
  17. Well, I probably agree with the fundamental proposition. But, as is common with Nobel Prizes, this was awarded for 40 year old work in statistical physics that led to the Boltzmann machine and subsequently to neural networks. So, when you dig into it, it's not that far removed from "traditional" physics.
  18. But troph, Elmo is not "auditing" agencies, it's 19-25 year-olds he appointed to do it. Wait . . . .
  19. Yeah, alternative medicine is cool, but be careful with it. Standard medicine doesn't know everything. By the same token, standard medicine knows a whole hell of a lot more than Aaron fucking Rodgers and the rest of the merry band of dipshits.
  20. Haven't seen any analysis, but the order speaks for itself. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.636609/gov.uscourts.nysd.636609.6.0.pdf
  21. Reportage from DOGE hearing in DC. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/doge-ing-questions-in-federal-court To use a kid's word. Shiesty. DOJ lawyers either don't know what's going on or are lying to the court. chmod chmod chmod.
  22. There really isn't anything more deep state than a bunch of political hacks at every level of government instead of civil servants that transcend politics and administrations.
  23. Nobody is going to jail over their opinions, yet. And if that happens it sure as fuck isn't going to be the CR librul cabal that does it, but rather the DT motherfuckers and the assclowns they support. We don't censor shit. We stridently take down counterfactual takes and shitty opinions. Just exactly as the First Amendment was intended.
  24. Still wasn't really an expert on anything. Just a kind of lucky kid with good timing.
  25. Gonna fuck up some med schools and other universities. Price of pharmaceuticals gonna go higher.
