    My biggest gripe is everyone knows dotard’s strategy is delay, delay, delay by any means necessary. That said, why did Garland wait two fucking years to get going on this shit?  I’m not saying he had to have the investigation, trial and sentencing wrapped up in six months, but how long after Jan 6 was it before Smith got appointed?

    One year and 303 days after Joe’s inauguration.

    Okay, so I have no idea what is going on here but no matter what, rep for the junior cheer Sonic quote because I just lost it.


    The double cheeseburger is nice. Only $1.99, too. Thanks. Sniff. I’d like that.


    I lost the count because I can’t stop thinking about how CO was quickly brought to heel while the actual question of whether 1(6 was an act of insurrection by a ballot candidate got shoehorned into the last day of oral arguments.

  3. Largest wildfire in Texas’ history, with over one million acres scorched. I wonder how many of those affected will insist, through their future votes, that someone be responsible for inspecting power lines in the future.

  4. The way I see it, steadfastly declaring that an election was rigged, absent any evidence to support your claim, is fucking insurrection.

    And that order was unconstitutional almost without doubt and anyone imprisoned under it could commence lengthy litigation to so establish, likely being freed along the way. 

    No argument here. Never said it was the right option.

    This would put Trump and his minions on the actual moral and correct side of the law if they were to engage in a Civil War after this happened. Lincoln also did the equivalent of putting the Fox News organization in jail, or at least shutting down their operations during the war. Lincoln absolutely violated the constitution in a number of fundamental and abhorrent ways.

    We can’t devolve to a scenario where we are doing things just as constitutionally inappropriate as he did, or Trump does now, because, “our team.”.   “Because it helps my side” is not a reason to do unconstitutional things.   I am not a serious student of Lincoln, but I have never run across anything that led me to believe that Lincoln’s several unconstitutional executive orders during the Civil War was key to our winning that war.    It certainly drove some Lincoln supporters into Lincoln opponents because of him doing that

    I don’t think those are options we need to consider. Every one of us sitting here bitching about this needs to track down 10 non-registered people and get them to vote - and have each of them track down people and get them to register to vote. And then we all vote the fuck stick away from politics for the rest of his life, and his followers will give up and go away without him as a figurehead. If not, in another 10 or 15 years, most of them will be dead.

    Were Biden to suspend habeus, it would drive me away from supporting him.  I appreciate, very much, living in a society governed by the rule of law. Lincoln’s action was based on a need for urgency, however, and I wish the same sense of urgency was driving the judicial branch’s actions on all things related to 1/6, the GA rico case, and the document case.

    Yea but Lincoln also had an actual honest-to-goodness shooting war going on at that point AND all he had out there information wise was word of mouth and newspapers that most people didn't get. 

    No argument. Not advocating a suspension of habeus. I would like to see all appeals expedited. SCOTUS’ scheduling the immunity appeal on its last day of oral arguments ought be actionable.

    Ok, give me another option then.  Because we have already concluded that the current system is going to move too slowly to stop the fascist train from running on time.

    This, at least, meets the definition of an option:

    In 1862, President Lincoln issued Presidential Proclamation 94 which suspended the writ of habeas corpus. (The writ of habeas corpus is a tool preventing the government from unlawfully imprisoning individuals outside of the judicial process).

    How about the fact that he’s allowed to be a juror?

    Well, he was able to convince his jury he shot in self defense, so he’s not the only dullard in the jury pool.

    It’s Pandemonium up in here.

     

    I don’t judge those who want nothing to do with the mentality ill. I mean, I do acknowledge that doing so means you are not trying to take the high road and be as compassionate as we ought try to be, but one’s life’s experience is a powerful motivator in the decision making process. More often than not, past attempts to be righteous when dealing with mental illness ended in painful failure. When you know you have no tools to address that circumstance, you know.

    Ok. So we have a separate preliminary hearing on the “threat to the republic” legal standard? What burden of proof should be used and should that question go to a jury or nah?

    What would be the elements to meet that burden? Only POTUS elections? Does the timing relative to an upcoming election matter? What if the defendant is not yet the named nominee for said election?

    Nah, we employ the loosest standard imaginable and grease wheels. Burden of proof becomes what is a conceivable circumstance. .After all, my proposal does nothing but speed up answers to questions, and infringes not one iota on a defendant, but is (preferably actionably)* proactive in protecting the Republic. INAL; call the hounds and hunt.

    *Meaning that unnecessary delay is pure FA,, and FO stars with removal.
     

     

  12. We have questions involving whether tfg is fit to hold office under the 14th Amendment. I dare say this question, unanswered, threatens our Republic.

  13. Should a case, whether civil or criminal, rise to the threshold of threatening our Republic, let any and all appeals, or legitimate questions before the court, be decided post haste by the appropriate court, up to and Including SCOTUS.

    Wasn't that in the story in the OP text?

     

    Thanks tor the quoted part. I assumed the cemeteries weren’t associated with his church. If one is, then I drew the wrong impression, and am even more dispirited by these events.
