Retired lawyer; husband; father; and, I am hopeful, friend of the Constitution. Resist Trump, even when it feels futile. We have a Golden Retriever, and she’s smarter than Orange Moron.

Agreed; and look at the Professor who posted the NU Daily article -- her field is aimed at evaluating the manner in which immunizing law enforcement is bad for the citizenry and law enforcement, by making the police less- or un-responsive to the community. Big, big deal, especially now.
If anything says "money is politics," it is this braindead, no original-thinking allowed hairpiece.
Maybe the answer to this quandary is that the President doesn't really have any idea what is happening within his Administration. Just a thought.
Reporting the bare fact of his disregard for the constitution is no longer enough, no longer responsible. The First Amendment imposes a correlating DUTY, which flows from the rights it grants. Start fucking saying the words — before it’s too late.

The system does not work if the Executive can legislate/appropriate/rescind/impound without Congress’s approval, and determine the meaning of preexisting law on an ad hoc basis.

We know Trump‘s impulses are to autocracy. The blame here lies with his toadying GOP majorities in Congress.

And?? And??

This is a basic, fundamental breach of the oath — to see that the laws are faithfully executed — and to acknowledge the purview of the courts to determine what the law is. Certainly impeachable if carried out and continued.

Wait a second here: this seems really different from the DOJ press releases. What the heck?
Well, people like Taylor. That’s the diff.
Hi, and welcome to today’s class, “Missing the Point 401,” advanced lack of human empathy.

He’s just a monstrous sociopath.
Not sure the administration [lawfully] can do that. The parties are (1) a bunch of RI charitable organizations, and (2) 25 states and DC. Only red Kansas thought to join the 25 state suit. Isn’t the lesson of the “universal injunction case” that only parties get the remedy?
@chrisgeidner.bsky.social does the relief here run boy to the RI charitable orgs? Will relief in the case b/f Talwani be limited to those states?
He knows how to work out. He knows how to stage and film a performance. He knows how to fondle the President‘s mental genitals. What he doesn’t really know is how to manage a 3,000,0000 employee bureaucracy. God only knows who is actually running the Pentagon. But hey, we get to hear “kinetic.”
Thanks for posting this here. Saw this yesterday, and Joe does such a nice, measured and accurate job with this question and this reporter. It is hard to believe that one CO district has this guy in Congress, when another has Boebert.
He is just an asshole. And by that, no politics at all; he's just an entitled dickhead, one of whom everyone has known across the landscape of their own lives, in playgrounds, at schools, in the workplace, that shitty neighbor you had back in 1994. Just. A. Dick.
Why? Because Ross is a partisan chucklehead. He’s the Kathleen Parker of the Times.
I am happy to "dismiss" them. Adios.
Very nice indeed. This is sunset in Down East Maine, USA, the other night. These autumn days are memory charms.
The contrast between the clerics who have shown up for immigrants and fake Christians in the Congress couldn’t be more clear or bright. The faux piety of those who would starve our neighbors and make them go without healthcare and treatment is clearer by the day. Democrats: hold the fucking line.
I was immensely proud of my 7,500 per day over the last month…until now. You crushed me man.
This ad is proof positive that Cuono really has nothing to offer except a willingness to rule over NYC. Happily, he says he will move (from his home in Weschester!! hah!!!) to Florida if he loses. Please help him get packing.
The standard for a federal judge, asked to issue an injunction, is whether the Plaintiffs -- here the 25 states and DC -- are "likely to succeed on the merits." So the reporters are parroting the standard and language used by the Judge.

And your former colleague Marco Toady sitting with his boss, doing his bidding, knowing all of this is wrong...but that he is somehow relevant.
