Reportedly, she has a book to flack. But isnt It a violation of judicial ethics to engage in a public, extra-judicial discussion of ongoing cases that have not yet been finally decided?

That's not how human nature works: s the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink: you can throw as much education as you wish at someone, but it doesn't always "take." And even if it is a choice to resist brushing teeth, they are our neighbors and deserve protection

One American News should be referred to as the Trump Administration's In-House Newsletter from now on.

May have been a valid administrative warrant to detain the person, but not a search/seizure warrant under the Fourth Amendment, allowing forcible entry into private property for execution. So the plumger could have been apprehended if ICE waited for him to emerge from the home onto public streets.

Yes, consent by someone with the authority to consent to entry is a exception to the requirement that entry is barred without a judicially-signed search/seizure warrant.

probable cause, supported by Oath . . . , and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. So search and seizure cannot happen without a warrant issued by a judge upon oath based on probable cause, and describing the place/person to be searched/seized.

These detention memos are not legal authority to force entry into a private home or business due to the Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, . . . against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon

Don't open the door -- speak to them, if necessary, through the closed door. Don't agree to open it a crack, "just so we can hear each other." Try to contact someone who can call an attorney. ICE agents without a judicially-signed arrest warrant do not have the legal authority to force entry.

What is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy advocating for? Yes Kings? Does he favor overturning the American Revolution and re-installing a monarchy? That's what his comments seem to suggest. He is an unpatriotic, un-American traitor to his oath to the Constitution. Duffy is scared of America.

They might need to be cross-designated by the federal government as appearing on behalf of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia (and not out of their home offices).

They do qualify, presuming they are licensed by "a" state bar somewhere in the United States. They are not required to be licensed by the state in which the federal court sits.

Desantis is a crook, and so are his henchmen.

You mean "up to" $50,000 paid out in installments of $10,000 per year for five years?

First, why is the Secretary of Transportation opining on First Amendment, free-expression activity, and second, where can I sign up to receive my payment from "Antifa people"? Seems like a sweet deal! /s

Why is the delivery service collecting a tariff payment on the goods that were purchased from an overseas exporter? Shouldn't it be the merchant who collects the taxes and fees adn then pays them over to the government that demands such taxes and fees? How can UPS calculate what is owed?

haveyouanywool.bsky.social @haveyouanywool.bsky.social · 22h

The point the administration spokesmodels are making is obscure -- a "No Kings" demonstration means the United States population doesn't want a government, and without a government, nobody (including non-federal workers) gets a paycheck? What the heck are they going on about? Weirdo scaredy-cats!

Fluoridated water covers those who don't regularly brush their teeth. Gross, but such people exist, because humanity is flawed and cannot be relied upon to behave perfectly all the time. They also deserve collective protection, to the benefit of them individually, and society at large.

To the contrary, Trump has barged into Mike Johnson's lane so far he has taken over the roadway. What a weirdo wimp Mike Johnson is!

And is a complete abdication of the power and responsibility and check of the co-equal branch of government he presides over. Mike Johnson is an unpatriotic, un-American traitor to his oath to the Constitution.

Suggesting Netanyahu be pardoned means Trump thinks he is guilty.

haveyouanywool.bsky.social @haveyouanywool.bsky.social · 22h

No, no we couldn't do that, because the United States has not consented to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

U.S. businesses wish Trump would shut up about corruption and bribery of foreign officials -- the FCPA was a blessing that reduced the cost of doing business overseas. Trump might screw that all up. It's true: Everything Trump Touches Dies. (credit to @therickwilson.bsky.social)
