That 24 mph speed is what FR24 (public aircraft transponder tracking) caught about 30 seconds AFTER the collision when the plane was skidding to a stop. Based on the landing speed of the jet and where it was on the runway it would have been somewhere above well 100 mph when it hit the truck.

No. The Brunson case is over - dismissed with prejudice and all appeals up to and including the Supreme Court have been rejected.

In principle the Brunsons could try filing a new case but there’s nothing here this is relevant to why the previous ones were dismissed.

Not a bad idea, but we’d have to amend the Constitution which specifically states that seven years a citizen is the requirement for serving in congress.

The ruling doesn’t do anything near what the OP says…. Nothing about all the votes having to be counted on Election Day and nothing about giving citizens/voters standing to challenge the counting procedures, just candidates. And of course it doesn’t remove the laches principle, we don’t get to see how the election is going and then challenge the rules, instead all challenges have to done up front.

I would not be surprised if the court does eventually overrule Humphrey’s Executor, but it hasn’t happened yet. Until then, if you want good information about what’s happening with the court, don’t waste time with AI crap posted to X, check scotusblog.com every few days instead.

Article I section 4: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

So it is the states, except to the extent that Congress (not the president!) gets involved.

However that post also clearly states that this mid-cycle census cannot be used to change the apportionment of representatives and electoral votes.

Not likely 8-1 - it’s an unsigned order, and only Sotomayor and Jackson had anything to say. All we know is that at least four of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kagan agreed with the stay.

The article says that there were 4400 Covid deaths when the country was 75% vaccinated - but sneakily doesn’t say how many of those 4400 deaths came from the vaxed 75% and how many came from the unvaxed 25%.

The autopen may be legal but The President must be competent and in his right mind.

Which is to say, the autopen is a giant distraction. There's no "may be legal" to it, an autopen signature is every bit as binding as any other signature. What matters, for any signature, whether manual or autopen, is whether the signer knew what they were signing.

First step is doing a reverse image search on those photos of pallets of bricks. So far every one that I’ve tried turns out to be an old picture from somewhere else, that some clown on the internet picked up and reposted with some bogus captioning saying that it’s LA or whereever.

Which illegals were getting $7k/mo? Serious question, I’m trying to understand what program was paying that out.

Right, that’s Bragg’s criminal case. Not the one in this thread. And even Bragg’s case won’t have any bearing on paying for NDAs by congress - the NDA itself is perfectly legal, so is paying for it, the crime was funneling the money through Cohen instead of paying it directly and that’s only a crime under New York law not federal.

I think you’ve mixed them up, not me. The headline and Fox article are both about the civil fraud case brought by Letitia James and presided over by judge Engoron. It’s a civil case so can’t lead to any criminal conviction, whether felony or misdemeanor, and has nothing to do with campaign donations. The criminal case is the one brought by Alvin Bragg and presided over by judge Merchan. And both are New York State cases so irrelevant to any member of Congress.

How do you figure that? This is a civil case in the New York courts based on New York laws. Civil case means nothing to do with any sort of criminal charges, New York laws means not federal.

They could have left it in limbo, but that would have been a relist which isn’t what happened here.

They could have sent it back to the lower court, but they do that by granting cert, then after oral argument releasing an opinion explaining what the lower court got wrong and directing the lower court to act in accordance with the opinion.

What they did, in the Jan 9 order (https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/010923zor_p860.pdf) is deny cert. That kills the case dead forever.

“Tulsi Gabbard says she was placed on the enhanced screening list” and “Tulsi Gabbard was placed on the enhanced screening list” are different things. We only have sauce for one of them.

The court didn’t accept the case, they rejected it on Jan 9 2023 and then on Feb 21 refused Brunson’s request that they reconsider the initial rejection.

Brunson claimed that he had a rule 11 case, but the court disagreed. https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-380.html

All of the Brunson cases are stone-cold dead - cert denied. There’s no source for this talk of a non-disclosure agreement, even if there was one it wouldn’t do what people are saying it would, and he can’t have won his case because it was never even argued.

Sorry, this stuff is hopium being pushed by someone who doesn’t understand the legal issues here.
