Is there any sort of direct comparison of number of deportations of immigrants with convictions for violent crimes since January vs. last few years? Seems like that number could actually be down if resources are diverted from targeted enforcement to hitting quotas.

Details are going to vary a lot by jurisdiction, but that's my general sense of what would probably happen.

Either way, if the juror says something to the effect that they recognize the witness but can't say from where, that juror is probably going to be excused in most cases. The judge can seal the courtroom and record to ask sensitive questions like that.

It probably would come up before the witness was on the stand because the jurors usually hear the list of prospective witnesses and are asked if they know any of them. If the juror didn't recognize the witness until they got up on the stand they could let the bailiff know at that point.

Definitely had to do a paper on the NSS in Command & Staff a few years ago. I don't envy students who will have to do the same assignment with this edition and feel like they need to pretend that whatever Miller-Hegseth vomit winds up in it is a serious policy document.

The distinction is both technically correct and more often than not a giant red flag about the person bringing it up.

His "positive" examples also all died way too early to have ever had an occasion to criticize Trump.

At least they're not going to be on 29-day orders to screw them out of full BAH while the constitutional order slowly breaks down.

It's a good piece, although I think you could simplify a lot of it down to just conservatives exploiting free speech norms when it serves their own interest without giving a shit about consistency, and generally not getting called out on it.

It's pretty telling that some of the most strongly-worded criticisms using the word "fascist," Nazi Germany historical comparisons, etc. have come from members of the first Trump administration.

Came to sat exactly this, plus various DOJ "investigations" designed to smear Democratic candidates and cripple Democratic-supporting orgs, and lots of taxpayer-funded "PSAs" that are de facto GOP campaign ads.

Still getting used to Harvard being a symbol of the Resistance or whatever and having an HVL boat winning at Henley being seen that way is just bizarre

It seems like trying to define "state and local governments not doing what we want them to" as an "insurrection" is not an argument that will get a lot of judicial deference.

The Brothers in Arms series had pretty similar gameplay, and cutscenes with soldiers getting interviewed by S.L.A. Marshall.
